Barx Parx

We have been members at Barx Parx for about 2 years, and we have used their doggie daycare, boarding, grooming, and training services for our bernedoodle-sheepadoodle mix. We have been pleased with all of the services, and our dog absolutely loves going here. Doggie Daycare: Our dog went to daycare 5 days per week while we were working, and he absolutely loved it. We have since moved into a house with a yard, so he doesn’t go as frequently and we can tell he misses his human and dog friends. We still take him occasionally, and everyone is as excited to see him as he is to see them. The Parx rangers are all wonderful and loving. They are very well trained to spot when a dog’s behavior changes and may need a “time out” from the main area in the corral. They keep all areas as clean as possible as soon as they notice a dog has peed/pooped. I also love when they do special events like paw print artwork for various holidays, posed pictures (extra charge), and various types of stimulation (bubbles, “Olympics,” etc). Boarding: It is a huge relief when he’s boarded here while traveling because we know he’s well taken care of, and we can check the cameras to see him happily playing or napping. We also love the upgrades to a bedtime story and treat every night, plus an outdoor walk every day. Grooming: We used to groom our bernedoodle at home, but it would takes hours over the course of a week or more. Nicole does a wonderful job, listens to our requests, and listens to our dog when he may not like something (blow dryer). Over the first two or three grooming sessions, Nicole had our dog as comfortable as possible with the entire grooming process. We take our dog about 1x per month to see Nicole. Training: We attended the first round of training at Barx Parx with Stephy when our dog was closer to a year old. It was a very hands-on process where my husband and I each took turns with each skill. He learned to sit, stay, lay down, leave it, and walk next to me on and off a leash on command. We recently welcomed a baby, and we had Stephy come for a home visit to train us on how to make the process of bringing a newborn home an easy and safe transition for all involved. I highly recommend this because our dog absolutely LOVES our baby, and I believe this was so easy because of the training my husband and I received.
