barkers dog behaviourists

Barkers Dog Behaviourists was founded by 

Anya Barker who has been working with dogs since 2022. Before then, she was an Interior Designer in London - but always had a burning passion for dogs.

 

A bit about Anya:

I Founded BARKERS in January 2024 after my years of experience and seeing far too many dogs in daycare not getting the correct stimulation and care for the breed that they are. I wanted to keep my goals small so the attention stayed where it was supposed to - ON THE DOGS!

 

So I set out to create a boutique South-West London daycare opportunity for dogs to experience; monitored socialising, obedience training, mental stimulation, physical exercise, and exposure to woodlands for those incredibly important 'sniffaris' that our 4 legged friends need and ultimately a Home away from Home where the dogs can feel safe and satisfied with the schedule of the day.

 

At Barkers, all breeds and sizes are welcome (however sadly Barkers does not take on dogs younger than 1). In my experience, I’ve handled a huge range of dogs with different care requirements. One day I would be handling 4 Great Danes at once, and the next, I’d be handling 6 miniature Dachshunds.

 

I can say with confidence that taking care of an animal requires flexibility and adaptability - because every dog is different. This approach is the key ingredient to a tailored care package from Barkers.

 

For more information about the contents of a structured but tailored Daycare please get in touch so we can build the perfect adventure day for your pup.
