MERIT ISN'T MEASURED BY A BUDGET.

Links to important resources for every dog owner.

My Barking Life is committed to making quality training accessible to every family, regardless of financial situation. The Training Assistance Grant (TAG) is our scholarship program for families who demonstrate need — offering full tuition support so that every deserving dog has a seat in the Foundations First classroom at Ashton & Co. K9 Academy. These grants are made possible by the generosity of businesses and individuals who believe every dog deserves the chance to succeed.

Applications are held in the strictest confidence. We review each one individually, and we are honored to help where we can.

A good education should be within everyone's reach.
