“We did the 4-week board and train with Bark Brigade, and I would highly recommend them to anyone with a dog! They kept us updated weekly and posted lots of videos and pictures of our dog, Red, which gave us so much peace of mind while she was away. The progress she made during those weeks is nothing short of incredible. The team at Bark Brigade is amazing—professional, patient, and truly passionate about what they do. They not only focused on Red’s obedience, like leash walking, commands, and impulse control, but also ensured we were prepared to maintain that training at home. Red is now so much more confident, responsive, and a joy to take anywhere. We’re beyond happy with the results and can’t thank Bark Brigade enough for all their hard work. If you’re considering a board and train program for your dog, look no further—they are the best.”

“Courtney & Darian worked with my dog Stormi, and I and I cannot say enough good things about them! I had recently adopted Stormi when I brought her to them for training and we worked on obedience, confidence, and leash walking. I learned so much from them and so did my dog! :) 10/10 all around!”

“I recently completed a 4-week board and train program for my 1-year-old golden retriever with Bark Brigade. Before the training, my dog struggled with pulling and not listening to commands during walks and a few other issues. However, thanks to Darian's exceptional training, my dog has shown remarkable improvement. Throughout the program, I received regular updates, including 24-hour and weekly reports, which kept me informed about my dog's progress. The Bark Brigade client portal is an invaluable resource, offering helpful videos and resources for ongoing training. Additionally, the post-training support provided by Bark Brigade is outstanding. With various training options available, I highly recommend Bark Brigade to anyone in need of dog training.”

“We recently brought our 6-month-old Bernedoodle to Darian for a 4-week board and train program. The experience was exceptional! Our dog learned obedience training and perfected off-leash e-collar training. Since coming home, we’ve been able to maintain his training with ease. We’ve already enjoyed numerous off-leash hikes and bike rides together, thanks to the solid foundation Bark Brigade provided. Highly recommend their services for anyone looking to train their dog!”

“We are long time dog owners, multiple breeds over the years but have always chosen to rescue. This is our first puppy and right away we noticed strange behavioural issues. After numerous attempts at traditional training and many months of stress and frustration, we were truly at wits end not knowing what else we could do, we came across Darian and Bark Brigade. Were a good 3 hours away but after reading the reviews and speaking with Darian we decided to give it a shot. We just picked up Zoey after her board and train and are simply astonished at the transformation. We know that Zoey will always battle with some of the genetic traits she’s been dealt but we now have the tools and understanding to give her the most balanced and enjoyable life possible. A million thanks and can’t recommend this great team enough!”

“I'm forever grateful to Darian at Bark Brigade, ( Dog Training ) in Calgary for transforming my dog Simba's behavior and saving our bond. After a terrifying resource guarding incident left me with stitches and on the brink of euthanizing Simba due to his uncontrollable behavior, I was at a loss. Despite recommendations from others, including Simba's former vet, to let him go, Darian confidently assured me that he could teach me the tools to address Simba's issues. Through 10 private classes tailored to Simba's specific needs, Darian expertly guided me in addressing resource guarding, leash pulling, and boundary setting, all while considering Simba's size, strength, and speed. The remarkable transformation is a testament to Darian's exceptional expertise, professionalism, and dedication. Simba, once a handful, is now a completely different dog, and I couldn't be happier. Darian's support and guidance helped me navigate the darkest moments, and I'm thrilled to have a strong, loving relationship with my furry companion. If you're struggling with your dog's behavior, look no further than Bark Brigade and Darian's compassionate, effective approach. Five stars aren't enough - I'd give ten if I could!”
