We make it our goal to make your pets stay something they can bark and meow home about. Whether it’s playtime in our yard or with our professional staff, learning new commands and behaviors with our excellent trainers, dinner just the way they like it, pampering time in our grooming room, or a bed time treat before they go to sleep at night, we have all the details of professional care covered. When your pet is at our home, they are family.

We proudly feed Pet Wants!

Why Pet Wants?

We have always been passionate about animals. Our long history of care for our clients’ pets and mission to educate our community on the best pet practices, training and healthy pet lifestyles is something that we are really proud of.

When we learned about the Pet Wants brand, we felt it the necessary next step to provide the best nutrition for the animals that we care for at this resort.

Offering a “delivered fresh” dietary choice to our community is something that we instantly felt we aligned to.

Now we can offer the highest quality, freshest, slow cooked, nutrient rich, small batch dog and cat food to our guests.

Plus we offer many other healthy supplements, balms and nutritional treats to assist with your pet(s) overall health, enjoyment and well being.

Please feel free to ask us about Pet Wants. We would love to tell you more!

TRAINING SERVICES

We have a philosophy here at Barrington Pet Resort, that if you create a bond with a dog by positive coaching and rewarding them for good behavior and their efforts, they will learn and obey your commands out of love and respect, not from fear of discipline. Therefore, all of our training follows the “Positive Reinforcement Philosophy”. Using science-based methods, we believe: Training animals and pets without force makes the animal a willing participant in the training process. Once you create a bond with an animal, it is forever. We believe the best type of bond is made out of trust.

Below are training services that we offer.

We are glad that you are here. You are taking the first step to better understanding and creating a long lasting bond with your furry friend.
