Introducing Vendy Fris and Nichola Bond at the Barkley Academy:
Vendy is an award-winning dog trainer who has spent over two decades specializing in canine behaviors from police dog training to dog show handling.
Vendy started her career in animal behavior in 1988 while living in Europe. She spent several years training police dogs for the local law enforcement agencies. Now, Vendy focuses her time on training domestic animals for everyday living. She is an experienced dog show handler who has won several awards over the last decade. Vendy also specializes in canine behavior disorders. She can recognize and correct behavior disorders of all types. Vendy is known for her positive training methods. She does not rely on negative enforcement or simple reward based training techniques. You and your dog will notice and appreciate the difference!
Nichola was born and raised in Southampton England. Her love for animals began at a very young age. Much to her parent's dismay, she would constantly bring home stray or unwanted dogs to take care of them. Nichola moved to the United States at the age of 18 and adopted her first "American" dog Sam whom she loves dearly. Nichola quickly found a job as a veterinary technician. She is an experienced dog trainer with an immense amount of knowledge for identifying problems and illnesses in dogs. Nichola has been working with the PAWSitive Power Dog Training family for several years and we are very proud to have her at The Barkley Academy. Vendy knows that when Nichola is in charge of the paw students, everyone is happy, healthy and safe.

Residency Stay Programs
The residency stay program, also known as “overnight doggy camp”, enable your dog to learn at his/her full potential. This approach is based on repetition and focus - as each dog is worked continuously throughout each day in order to best achieve the desired results. Students of the camp learn lifetime manners as we prepare them for specific situations that fit your lifestyle. During a Residency Program, your dog will be exposed to many different situations at The Barkley, enabling success when introduced to new settings. Of course, your pet will always receive the excellent 24-hour care and attention The Barkley has come to provide. Consider a Residency program to increase your dog’s rate of learning while making the transition to home stress-free.
