Our Training Philosophy
The relationship between a dog and its person is undeniably unique. When you collaborate with Mapleton Bark, you are choosing an experienced certified dog trainer and behaviour consultant dedicated to helping you achieve your goals.
Utilizing scientifically proven positive reinforcement based training methods, the focus of Mapleton Bark is building successful partnerships between dog and person with a base in kindness, trust and mutual respect.

With the belief that the development and maintenance of the mental wellness in our companions is as necessary as nutrition and physical care, we work hard to offer training and behaviour modification support that is accessible and affordable. With this goal of the completely balanced dog in mind, Mapleton Bark is recommended by and works in collaboration with local veterinarians, nutrition experts, and a variety of local pet professionals to provide the support your family may require.
