“Bailey Clark is such a great dog trainer. Our standard poodle Grace was becoming a handful. A handful that we could not train. We tried different harnesses, training at other facilities, and everything we knew to do. She continued to be difficult to walk as she would be set off by people and dogs. To say our walks were stressful is an understatement. I saw a reel of Bailey on Facebook and decided to call him for help. Today Grace finished our 8 weeks of training and I can tell you that Grace is a different dog today. Walks are pleasant, reactions to dogs are people are 100% better and we can have a life again with Grace in the middle of it. Thank you, Bailey Clark, for training Grace and us. We are now confident on how to train Grace and look forward to the many, many years we have with her. You were an answer to prayer. God sent the right person in to help us with Grace.”

Why Flowood works so well for training
Flowood packs a lot of real-world practice into a small area. The nature trail is full of other dogs, the parks have steady foot traffic, and the retail areas bring carts, crowds, and noise. That lets a lesson move from calm to challenging in a single afternoon.
For reactive dogs we start at a distance where the dog can stay calm and work closer over the weeks. For puppies, Flowood's stores are where house manners become public manners.
Real-world training
Where We Train in Flowood
Flowood Nature Park and Trail
On Flowood Drive behind Flowood Elementary. A one-mile paved loop around a lake and into the woods, with waste stations and water. Owners run into lots of other dogs here, which makes it a go-to spot for leash reactivity practice.
Flowood Park
A good place to sit and let a dog watch people and activity calmly, a key step for nervous and over-excited dogs.
PetSmart on Promenade Boulevard
Leashed dogs are welcome inside, so it's a controlled place to practice calm behavior near other dogs before moving to busier stores.
Tractor Supply on Highway 25
Feed, livestock supplies, and strong smells make a farm store a different kind of distraction than a pet store or a mall.

Flowood Dogs We've Worked With
Grace: a standard poodle set off by people and dogs
Her family had tried different harnesses and training at other facilities, and walks were stressful. After eight weeks, her owner describes her reactions to dogs and people as 100% better.
Mijo: a five-month-old European Doberman
A custom four-week board and train plan, with weekly videos showing his progress and explaining the next steps.
Shadow: a puppy who was all over the place
Lessons taught his family how to communicate with him and that consistency is the key. In their words, he is now a different dog.
A 9-year-old Yorkie and a third trainer
This toy Yorkie reacted to cars, people, and other dogs, and two trainers had already tried. Now his owner can catch a reaction as it starts, and most of the time he does not react at all.
Real Results
What Flowood Families Say
“I highly recommend Clark's Canine Training. Bailey put together a custom training plan for my 5 month old male European Doberman. We agreed on four week training option and I couldn't be more pleased. Bailey sent me weekly videos showing Mijo progress while explaining next steps. I choose Clark's Canine Training over some other high profile options and you should as well.”
“Mr. Clark was patient with us as we learned how to communicate with our puppy. He also taught us that consistency was key to successful puppy training..in the beginning Shadow was allow over the place. Now he is a different dog. Thank you soo much.”
“My toy yorkie is 9 years old and Bailey is the 3rd trainer I have hired. My dog is extremely reactive to everything and everyone. Cars, people, other dogs. Yesterday we went on a walk and although he started to react, I was able to correct it immediately and most of the time he didn’t react at all. Turns out you can teach old dogs new tricks! Bailey is patient and very knowledgeable, highly recommend.”
