THE BARK OF THE TOWN
The Bark Squad is a force-free reward-based dog training school situated in Wrexham and surrounding areas.
Where we teach you how to train your dog in a fully secure environment.
We train and believe passionately in dogs, having fun and making every day a Good Dog Day.
Dogs have such an important impact on our lives that we are here to help you build a relationship that will provide you and your four-legged friend with great memories for years to come. We invite dogs and guardians to have fun while learning at the same time, giving the dogs the option to think and allowing them the liberty of making their own decisions, which helps grow their confidence.
We have a passion for training dogs creatively — this makes us happy. We believe in the transformative power of teaching and giving guidance and the ability to simplify communication and elevate the experience between you and your dog.
Good dog training and good relationships come from collaboration. We’re excited to start a conversation, learn about you and your dog, and make something beautiful together.

GUNDOG SKILLS FOR YOUR PET
CLASSES FOR NEVER-ENDING ENERGY
Gundog training is a world of fun and, our classes are specifically designed for all breeds and high-energy dogs. The training provides a brilliant outlet to stimulate your dog’s natural seek and find behaviours.
Benefits of Gundog training:
There are so many benefits to Gundog training, however, the increased bond you will develop with your dog is the most rewarding.
Watching your dog have the time of their life while working is such a special experience. Suddenly you can look at the behaviour traits that were perhaps causing you problems before in a whole new light.

ROXANNE
Our first ever puppy school training was today and it was awesome! Janine is an excellent, friendly, patient and very professional teacher. I highly recommend Janine Happy owners and happy puppy.
TRACEY
I have attended 3 classes with Janine. Puppy, Elementary and intermediate obedience. Janine is excellent. She is knowledgeable and patient. You get individual attention and no question is silly. Even though I have labradors and they are super nerds, I really benefited from all the classes. My dogs are well behaved. You also get lots of tips to make your life at home with your dog much much easier when it comes to chewing and messing. I can really recommend taking your puppy and dogs.
