Our Mission
Bark Around Boston was started in 2012 as a resource for dogs and their people. We do feel that pets are family, but we do not cater to the fur baby mentality. We feel it is important to create, enforce and maintain structured lives for our dear pets. This creates a dog with clear expectations and helps reduce anxiety based behaviors. Our dog programs generate stimulating environments not just for their bodies but for their minds, too. As Boston’s only Fusion dog care provider, you can expect improvement in your dogs attitude, behavior and fitness.
