| BECAUSE DOGS MATTER For over 35 years. |
Its never just a job, its our passion. The Barking Lot is a family based business. There is no *big box* rapid fire turn over or quick trained employees here. We are here only because we love the work, and are prepared with information, knowledge and ability. We are casual, just as apt to hang around in flip flops so we can kick them off to give belly rubs. Are uniforms are usually decorated with dog hair, but thats just something you learn live with when it's your job to hug dogs all day! The environment is designed because dogs are dogs. And to do our job right it needs to be PROVEN safe and fun for dogs. We don't experiment with your dog's safety or life. Our policy is not based on bottom line, it based on the health and welfare of your dog. Because DOGS matter!

Raechel Stenzel literally grew up at TBL learning hands on and perfecting
her natural gift and ability with dogs. She has always had an uncanny
ability to pull out the best in a dog and make them relax and perform. She
prefers one on one training and boarding. She has developed an larger in
kennel program as well as a home style overnight stays.
She has over 100 titles and numerous group wins and places. Because
she is a professional handler competing in performance events is difficult
she does enjoy the training for fun classes such as agility and free style,
and of course the tricks, all dogs need to know tricks!

Dustin Pugh is a new arrival of almost two years. Still sort of new to
this *dog thing* going on here but he is learning fast! I mean this guy
allowed us to snap a picture of him holding a pink & purple dog! But all
kidding aside the dogs love him, he grooms dogs (very well) and
cleans kennels. Plus he does handyman stuff.
He has yet to really get hooked by the show world but he does attend
on occation and has taken a few dogs back in and he has promised to
put Donovan's title on him. Someday. :-)
