Bark 4 Joy Dog Training strives to strengthen the bond between an owner & their dog, as well as build a sense of community with dog owners in Montana by utilizing reward-based, proactive training methods.

Our Story

Bark 4 Joy was founded in 2018 as Madie's hobby while she was attending Carroll College. In graduate school, Madie realized that training and owning a business was exactly what she wanted to do. In 2021, Bark 4 Joy became an LLC. All together, the Bark 4 Joy team has 20+ years of experience.
Slowly, Madie has been growing the team to include additional trainers with incredible expertise in other areas of training. Each trainer at Bark 4 Joy has one goal in mind: Help the client achieve their training goals.
