My husband and I had tried to train our dog Lily, but it was without any success. We tried other training techniques, other trainers, we tried everything but still nothing worked....

Worst

I took my dog here for 5 days. When I picked her up, they had a sign posted that there were confirmed cases of kennel cough going around. This really bothered me. I called my ve...

Bringing it all together! 10/13/2009

I have a 7 month old, well bred, working German Shepherd that is super smart and energetic. She has been going to Bark's day care since she was 8 weeks old. I can't begin to tell you how much she loves going! Her tail starts wagging when we start the drive to Barks and when I drop her off it is still wagging! Wendy did basic obedience training with her @ 5 months of age. Rosalie is a big dog and without the manners of basic obedience, home life with her would be miserable. Rosalie is a delight to live with and should we decide to take it to the next level with training, I know we will follow the lead from Barks. All of this is wonderful, but I need to share how personally marvelous this place is. My grandmother died rather unexpectedly in late August. I needed to board Rosalie as the drive home is over 700 miles. I called Barks late that Saturday afternoon and they answered with "" How soon can you get her here?"" I dropped Rosalie off and was on my way to Alabama within 3 hours of getting that terrible phone call. As horrid as that time was for me, knowing that Rosalie was happy and safe made it better. If you have need of boarding, day care, grooming, training, supplies, resources or anything else dog related - the staff at Bark's 5th Avenue should be your first stop! Pros: Full service, experienced, consistent, positive staff Cons: None ( and I know that is hard to believe!) more

A great place to train your older dog 10/13/2009

This place is special to me because they are reasonably priced, gave me personal attention and really took the time to meet my needs with my new family member. When I called I talked directly to the trainer, Wendy, and she was super helpful to explain all my options. Her excitement to work with me and my dog ""Lucy"" was amazing! I have continued to go there because I know no matter what service I need, boarding, grooming, or obedience training, I know I will be taken care of tremendously!!! I highly recommend this establishment to any new dog owner! They are Top Dog in my book! Pros: very personal service more

I brought my dog in for the 3 week training to correct some behaviors that had were causing some issues at home and when she came home, she was like a different dog. They not only trained her, but brought me in and trained me how continue the training in the future. Amazing staff! Pros: VERY knowledgable more

It's A Winner 9/9/2009

We have a Husky and our vet told me that he was in need of training or he was going to hurt one of us. We agreed and I said I had hear about ""Barks 5th Avenue"" and another company. He strongly recommended ""Barks"". He said if anyone could put Sitka in his place it would be Penny and her staff. Wendy and Penny warned me that Husky's are very hard headed and they would do their best with him. They did better than their best and the vet can't believe how obedient he is; in fact, he asked if it ws the same dog! Penny is even helping me with Sitka's ""Invisible Fence"" training, and once again he is doing GREAT! Sitka has had some health problems and Barks has been very understanding and helpful to us while Sitka is in ""Day Care"". Sitka sees ""Barks"" as a great place to play and loves to go to ""Day Care"". I have had several neighbors who can't believe he is the same dog and one lady who has a Husky mix took it for training somewhere else and she said ""it just didn't take"". We are leaving for China for 5 weeks and Sitka will be with ""Barks"" the whole time and we will be worry free while we are gone. Pros: Honest, Clean, Helpful, Professionals Cons: None so far more

Excellent, caring groomers 2/3/2009

My wife and I have been taking our two Llasas to Bark's Fifth Avenue since before they became Bark's Fifth Avenue. They groomed and cared for our first Llasa for almost 14 years and have been doing the same for our latest baby for the past 4 years. We were thrilled when they began offering their ""doggie day care"" at their current location and our dog just loves going there. He gets so excited when we tell him where we are taking him. Therefore we highly recommend Bark's Fifth Avenue to anyone that wants outstanding grooming and groomers/handlers that care about your pets. Pros: Spacious pet areas, ample parking, caring staff members more

Best Groomer in NW Houston! 12/15/2008

I've taken my two dogs, a shih tzu and a shar pei/boxer mix to other groomers but they can't touch Barks 5th Avenue. They have a great facility, clean and well decorated. You can see the dogs in doggie daycare are having a great time. The staff is very nice and they are all accomodating to time schedules. If you're looking for a great place to take your dogs this is it - I highly recommend Barks 5th Avenue. Pros: Service, Quality of grooming, doggie day care more

Barks Adoption Assistance 12/5/2008

Penny and Wendy put their heads together when our son who had just purchased his first home wanted to adopt his first dog. He was looking for a dog that would blend well with our existing pets, as he planned to visit us often. Together they came up with Rush , a beautiful , but very shy Border Collie in need of a loving home. They called her a ""corner dog"" since she was most comfortable in her corner unless someone had a frisbee! We all fell in love with her and as she became used to her new home her personality really blossomed. To help Cody and Rush bond they went to Doggie Day Care and were slowly introduced to new friends. It has been almost a year now and we can't believe how she has blossomed. Everyone at Barks has been so helpful in making this a positive experience, from greeting them when they arrive, carefully selecting dogs that they would be comfortable with to mainstreaming them into the pack at Barks and of course tossing an occasional frisbee! We can't thank them enough! more

Beyond our highest expectations 8/24/2008

Our 8 month old black lab, Jackson, is all puppy. After months of attempting other training facilities, trying ourselves, and almost giving up hope, my fiance came across Barks 5th on CitySearch. Based on all the stellar reviews, we decided to meet Penny and have her help us with Jackson. In just three weeks, Penny successfully had our lab walking on a lead without pulling ahead, following all basic commands, and a master of the PLACE command. No longer does Jackson chew holes in the siding on the back of our home, he stays off of the furniture and does not jump up on the neighbors children. He is now our puppy who comes when called, chills out on his place without a problem, and even goes to bed on command! Penny gifted us with the skills and knowledge to be a happy family, and the ability to love Jackson more than we ever imagined possible! Thank you to Penny and all of her amazing staff at Barks 5th. Pros: Knowledgeable, caring staff more

The best place to take your pet! 6/26/2008

I have been taking my dog, Elvis, to Barks for over 2 years now to be groomed. The grooming they do is exceptional and couldn't be more pleased each time I take Elvis there. The service is so welcoming that when I call, they know exactly who Elvis is. Last year, for the first time, I boarded Elvis there for two weeks. And believe me, it was so hard for me to leave him anywhere! I was so happy with the service and love that they showed him that I will be boarding Elvis there again for two weeks this year! I won't take him anywhere else to be groomed or boarded! I highly recommend Barks 5th Avenue for your loved pets! more

Thanks Bark's 5 Avenue! 5/24/2008

Barks 5th Avenue is THE BEST home away from home for your pet! I have been taking my little white Pom, Charlie, to Bark's 5th Avenue for about three years. The staff is so friendly and the facility is very clean and very organized. Charlie always looks beautiful when I pick him up from being groomed and now the 'icing on the cake' is for Charlie to participate in Doggie Day Care! He has fun, gets excercise and sleeps very well when he arrives back home. I gladly give Bark's 5th Avenue a 5 Star Rating for their grooming skills, their warm, friendly, and welcoming spirit when Charlie arrives and their Doggie Day Care! Thanks Bark's 5th Avenue for providing such a wonderful service! :o) Pros: Very clean facility, staff very friendly and organized more
