Barks and Rec Animal Training and Behavior is the only training facility of its kind in northern Michigan.  We use only gentle, modern, and  science-based positive reinforcement and offer everything from aggression and obedience training to nosework and agility.
 
 
 

We are a Fear Free training facility, if your dog is wearing a choke, pinch, or electric collar you will be asked to remove it.
