Our mission
Why Barklen exists
Finding the right dog trainer can be difficult. Programs, pricing, specialties, training approaches, and availability are often scattered across websites, social media, and search results, or never published at all. Barklen brings that information together in one place so dog owners can compare their options and choose professional training with confidence.
Finding a trainer is only one side of the industry. Dog training businesses also need better ways to get discovered, manage leads, and make smarter decisions about how to grow. Barklen gives them a free listing, direct quote requests with no commission, and original research about their own market.
That is why Barklen is built as more than a directory. It is a connected marketplace and business platform designed to raise the standard of information in dog training, for the owners choosing a trainer and the professionals doing the work.
What Barklen does
One platform. A stronger industry.
Different tools, one goal: better information for dog owners and a stronger business for every professional trainer.

What dog owners say.
“After adopting two high energy Aussies, I was overwhelmed trying to find a trainer who could handle them both. Every website I visited had vague descriptions and no real pricing. Barklen let me compare credentials, methods, and costs side by side without making a dozen phone calls. I finally felt confident choosing someone who matched our needs. I tell every dog owner I know to start their search here.”
How Barklen builds trust
Built on transparency
A higher standard of information is the whole product. These are the rules we run the platform by.
- 01
Transparency over polish.
We would rather show a gap than fill it with something vague.
- 02
Verification means something specific.
It means we reviewed the listing against public materials and published it. It is not a license, insurance, or certification check, and it is not an endorsement of anyone's training methods.
- 03
Scores cannot be bought.
A Transparency Score reflects how completely a listing publishes information. Paying for a featured spot does not change that score.
- 04
The dog owner comes first.
Trainers pay us. Owners do not. If we start serving trainers at owners' expense, the platform becomes worthless to both.
And just as important, what we don't do
- We do not train dogs
- We do not take a commission on bookings
- We do not accept payment to raise a Transparency Score
- We do not endorse training methods; we report what a business discloses
- We cannot guarantee outcomes, and neither can any trainer

Who's behind Barklen
Built by a dog owner, for dog owners
Barklen was founded by Richard Eusebio, a dog owner who learned firsthand how hard it is to get straight answers about training: what it costs, how it works, and who is actually qualified to do it.
That experience became the standard the platform is built around. Every listing is researched and scored on how completely it publishes the details owners need, and every claim we make about the industry is backed by data anyone can download and check.

Common questions
Questions about Barklen
What is Barklen?
Barklen is a dog training marketplace that connects dog owners with professional dog trainers across the United States. It combines a trainer directory with published prices, programs, and training methods, original industry research, and free business tools for dog training companies.
Is Barklen free for dog owners?
Yes. Searching the directory, comparing trainers, and contacting businesses is completely free for dog owners. Barklen never charges owners and never takes a commission when you contact or book a trainer.
How does Barklen make money?
Listings, profiles, and quote requests are free for dog training businesses. Barklen earns revenue from optional paid placements, such as a single featured spot per city. Paying never changes a Transparency Score and never affects how a business ranks against the scoring criteria.
Does Barklen verify dog trainers?
Barklen reviews each listing against the business's public materials (website and, where available, Google) before publishing it. That is not a check of business licenses, liability insurance, or certifications, and it is not an endorsement of any trainer's methods. Barklen does not guarantee training outcomes.
What is a Transparency Score?
Every listing on Barklen receives a Transparency Score that measures how completely the business publishes the information dog owners need: pricing, program details, training methods, and policies. The scoring criteria are public on Barklen's methodology page, and scores cannot be bought.
Who is behind Barklen?
Barklen was founded by Richard Eusebio and is operated by a small US-based team. You can reach the company at support@barklen.com or through the contact page at barklen.com/contact.
