Bark! Bark! Backyard - Lihue, Hawaii

I just love these wonderful people! The last time I had to leave the island my sweet Jack ended up left in our backyard and overfed. I didn't want that happening again so a friend told me Bark, Bark Backyard was excellent and boy was she right! My boy had his own little condo, new friends to play with, walks, and he learned to walk on a treadmill even! They kept me up to date with videos of him and he was wearing a Lei to greet me when I picked him up. Best recommendation ever! Thank you for taking care of our sweet Jack so well. Highly recommend this wonderful place for your dogs "summer camp" when you need to be away!!

Karen and the team are very professional and amazing. You can tell how much love they have for our dogs. The training program is 10/10 recommend. My dog was very unwell and now she’s a confident happy pup.

I cannot express enough the amazing job Karen did with my girl Mila!! We recently brought our 7 year old Pitbull mix to Bark Bark, seeking help, as she was developing separation anxiety every time we left the house. She was destroying our furniture or just trying to escape, which she has never done before. I had tried many things but it wasn't until I took her to Bark Bark! that we found an answer. When I called, they reassured me they could help, of course I was a little nervous because she was not a puppy anymore but figured I should give it a try. I dropped her off for her initial assessment and after that, we left her for "boot camp" training for 10 days (so hard not to see her!) but as soon as I picked her, she was a different dog. They went over everything she had learned over these past 10 days, showed me videos and answered any questions I had. I felt like I was getting a new dog but my same sweet girl! There is a lot of work to be done at home, this is a must, but now our girl is crate trained, our walks are so enjoyable (she does not pull anymore, she walks by my side and does not attempt to launch at trucks or other dogs) she eats and sleeps in her crate, and more recently, she started to put herself to bed in her crate without having me take care. I have no words to describe how happy and pleased I am with Karen and the whole team! I really thought there was no help out there for my girl, but I was wrong. And Karen is always there to answer any questions or concerns via text! I 100% recommend them and would do this all over again in a heartbeat! My husband and I are so grateful to you guys and Mila as well 🙂

This is Kauai's premier dog behavioral rehabilitation center. Their methods are strict because they take on some tough dogs. They give each individual pup the structure and experience they need to live a healthy, stress-free lifestyle, ESPECIALLY if it's a working breed dog with high drive. If you need your dog boarded or just want your pup socialized, they also offer supervised playtimes, structured exercise, and some grooming/personal pamper options as well. Great place, Karen is the bomb!

We had a wonderful experience working with Karen & RJ! Our 8 month old English Cream Golden Retriever, Darby, already at nearly 60 lbs, was just more puppy than we could handle! We all gained an incredible amount of knowledge during her training, but still have a long way to go. Karen was available via text and extremely helpful getting us through those first few weeks of training. We have since moved off island, but continue working with Darby as we were instructed and appreciate knowing we can still call if we need help.

We look forward to that initial 90-days of "coming to a meeting of the minds" with Darby but know full well she is a smart, but stubborn kind of girl! We won't give up and know with the training we received at Bark! Bark! Backyard! we will have a sweet Golden that won't constantly pull - someday!

We highly recommend this facility for doggy daycare as well! It was a huge blessing to take Darby there while we were packing and getting our house ready to sell.

Wonderful place and wonderful training. We use daycare 2x/wk and my dog is always excited to go.
Karen is a master trainer and has immensely improved our relationship with our dog. I have only great things to say about them.
