What Our Clients are Saying…

Perfect Place for Safe Socializing

We have been taking our dogs to Opportunity Barks for at least 11 years. They have gone above and beyond to help us and our dogs even during evacuations. They provide a happy safe place for dogs to socialize and play and enjoy their lives. Our dogs know days they go, remind us if we miss the turn, Love going to Opportunity Barks. Thank you will all our hearts

5 Stars!

Honestly we could not ask for a better place for our pup to learn, be boarded and get her energy out! Rachel is amazing with her training and Remmy loves going to the “puppy palace” so much she whines and runs in circles when we get her “to go” bag. It’s truly amazing to know she loves it so much and that she’s treated so well. She loves going to play with her friends too! Thank you for being a safe and fun place and for us not having to worry when she’s there.

Love This Place!

I've been taking my Australian Shepherd since I got him as a puppy 6 years ago. When I ask him if he wants to "go to the farm (AKA Opportunity Barks) to see all his friends" he goes crazy and runs around the house with excitement. I'm best at my job when I know that my dog is happy, getting lots of exercise, and around a number of kind and caring adults. Thank you OB!!

Great Place For Senior Dogs!

We can’t recommend this place highly enough! We have a Border Collie, so she always has tons of energy to spare. We’ve been bringing her here twice a week, every week, since she was 6 months old (she’s now going on 14 years old!). She basically grew up with the staff here at Opportunity Barks and she is always thrilled to be dropped off. Don’t hesitate to give this place a try, your dog will go home happy (and tired!).

Highly Recommended!

Norbert went to doggie day care for socialization and would only sit, shivering, in the corner. We engaged Rachel for 6 in home training sessions, Progress was slow but sure. Today I have video of Norbert running and playing with other dogs at day care. What brings me joy is that Rachel and the other workers are invested in his success.

I cannot recommend them enough!

They have worked tirelessly to make my dog with horrible separation anxiety feel safe and comfortable through positive training and activities .He is now more social with other dogs and he is always excited to go to daycare or board. I would have never dreamed I could leave him overnight and now it’s a reality.


The staff is absolutely fantastic and the facility is a dog’s dream! I couldn’t ask for better when it comes to taking care of my dog.

We Are So Grateful!

We have been doing in-home dog training with our 1.5 year old border collie/great pyrenees, and we are so so happy with the progress he’s making! Rachel has a gift for working with dogs, and has been such a blessing to our family. Her program goes beyond obedience training, and she has even included our children and neighbors into our dog’s training. We are beyond grateful to have found her!

We Couldn’t Be Happier!

We have been taking our Golden Retriever puppy for a few months now for Daycare and Training. He absolutely loves it there.. it’s a wonderful safe place to leave your dogs. I never have to worry because I know he’s always being well taken care and he always has the best time playing with his friends and all the handlers.
Rachel has been training our dog and after only 6 sessions he has made huge improvements as far as behavior and listening. I Highly recommend opportunity barks we couldn’t be Happier.

Right Place For Your Dog!

Definitely the right place to take your barking, four legged friends. My puppy Theo just can't wait to get inside and meet and greet--after several years of weekly day care. The dog-minders are wonderful--- devoted to making every dog's day the best (whether in the dog days of summer or the frozen dark days of winter).

Jane Squires

5 Paws!

The best facility in Lane County, best staff, best physical plant. Our dogs are country dogs, and need room to romp on real grass. Staff has even recommended products available on the web for our Labrador.. Our dog, Koda, rates Opportunity Barks 5 paws.

Above and Beyond Our Expectations!

We have a 2.5 year old rescue Aussie Shepherd who was neglected outside in a kennel for a year. This has left Bandit with reactivity issues, especially resource guarding. Rachel and her staff have worked with so much care and dedication in the last three months to help us help Bandit with these issues. We still have a ways to go. Rachel has researched ways to help Bandit that are above and beyond our expectations, and she made time to communicate with our Veterinarian. Opportunity Barks has been so positive and supportive to us. The daycare and kennel facilities at Opportunity Barks are fantastic. Rachel's private trainings include videos of the work we have done and have really helped us bring Bandit a long ways in a short amount of time.
