The Bark Yard Open House: Kindness Starts Here

Join us for an evening of wine, cheese, and dog-loving wisdom at The Bark Yard in South Portland!

NON-Bark Yard parents welcome! So please invite a dog parent from your friends, family, and community!

This free event is your chance to...

🍷 Sip and snack with fellow dog parents

🏡 Tour our beautiful, fear-free daycare, boarding, and training facility

🎓 Hear from a certified professional trainer about why positive, force-free training is not only safer and more humane — but also the most effective way to reach your training goals

🐶 Discover how positive training builds confidence, trust, and long-term behavior change in your pup

Whether you're just starting out with your dog or looking to deepen your connection and encourage obedience, this talk will give you practical insight, real-life examples, and a clear path forward — no punishment, no intimidation, just smart, compassionate training.
