Description: Opportunity Barks is a lifestyle dog training company offering wedding-specific preparation and care for couples who want to include their dog, without adding stress to the day. We provide pre-wedding training to help dogs stay calm, focused, and comfortable around crowds, noise, attire, and ceremony moments, ensuring they can successfully participate if desired. For couples whose venue isn’t dog-friendly, or who prefer peace of mind, we also offer board-and-train programs so dogs are cared for, fulfilled, and learning while their humans celebrate and honeymoon. Our services give couples flexible, realistic options that prioritize both the wedding experience and the dog’s well-being. 
During the Wedding Stroll: OpBarks will have a dog-centric flower + treat station, so everyone goes home with something nice!
