HUMAN TRAINING FOR DOGS
Building Foundations
For Life.
You are your dogs leader through this world. At Barkitect, we specialize in building strong relationships between pets and their human companions by solidifying the foundations in obedience and shaping behaviors. We do this by setting clear expectations and through your dogs natural ability to play and working through engagement exercises.
When we meet our dogs needs and pair it with proper structure, you end up with a calm and stress free relationship.
​
Not all training is equal!
​
Having a well trained furry companion starts with having the tools and knowledge to practice throughout each day. Training isnt something we do as a separate activity - we incorporate it into things we do daily. Here, we teach more than just commands. We believe knowing the 'why' is more important than the 'how'. From dog body language, to coping skills, situational awareness and so much more, we will teach you how to be a confident leader so your dog can just be a dog.

Testimonials
Alexis has been a godsend! She has been working with me and my pup, helping to control reactivity and solidify basic commands. I’ve seen such a huge improvement in the short time we’ve been working with her. Alexis is super patient, knowledgeable and always listens to my concerns and tailors our lessons to the needs of my pup. Alexis is a calm, professional presence with a kindness that translates into an amazing training experience. She truly loves her job and it shows in the connection she makes during our sessions. Not only is the training helping my pup immensely, it has helped me to be more confident and creating a stronger bond with my pup. I’m so glad I found Alexis to work with, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for superior dog training!!

"Barkitect has changed the way I communicate with my shepard mix puppy, Kenzo. I learned so much about how to direct my dog and be the leader that he needed me to be to for us to be happy... When I first brought him to Alexis, he was lunging at the end of the leash, wouldn't settle, and it made it stressful for us to take him on outings. Her patience with me through the lessons gave me more confidence in myself to work with him. Alexis taught me ways to channel his energy, focus on me, and make the choice to be settled in public. He's much happier, and so am I."

"I am so grateful for the support and guidance I received from Barkitect. Alexis helped me understand how my reactions were influencing my Labrador, Bo. Im a first time dog owner and I was struggling to get his energy under control. He was also fearful of any other dog walking down the street, so much so that I ended up just letting him only walk in the backyard. She took everything in the speed that I needed to reduce my anxiety and Bo's. I saw that she really loved Bo as I did and wanted him to succeed. Im so excited to have him walk nicely into town with me again!"
