What Reviews Say

359 reviews analyzed

Sherwood Barks is highly regarded for its effective force-free training and high-energy daycare that leaves dogs 'exhausted and happy.' While the facility and newer staff receive glowing praise for their passion and cleanliness, there is a historical divide regarding the head trainer's blunt communication style and strict business policies. Overall, it is a top choice for owners seeking structured socialization and specialized classes like agility and reactivity training.

Worth noting

Strict expiry policy on prepaid passes leading to loss of funds.

“I was suddenly told my 10-visit pass had “expired”... and I lost over $100. No allowance was given for the fact that it was over Xmas.”

Allegations of rough handling during demonstrations (historical reviews).

“She proceeded to grab our dogs tail and yank him forcefully back towards her... so forceful that our dog swung around and tried to mouth her hand.”

Trainer Tone/Attitude(12 mentions)

“The head trainer seems knowledgeable... however the way she treated the pet owners made me really uncomfortable.”

Class Size/Chaos(8 mentions)

“The first class for the pups felt like a mosh pit, essentially a free for all for your pups.”

Hidden Costs/Equipment Requirements(4 mentions)

“They force you to buy their products and if you don't have those products you are discluded.”
