What Is Bark N Ride?
What Bark N Ride is NOT
Bark N Ride is not a transport service or commercial carrier.
Just one very simple & valuable solution...a network.
What Does it Cost?
For our first 500 Founding Members? Absolutely nothing. Not now. Not ever.
That's right. Join as a Founding Member, and Bark N Ride is free forever.
No trip fees. No commissions. No percentage taken from your delivery fees. What you earn from providing transportation stays yours.
Why Are We Doing This?
Bark N Ride was designed by breeders and trainers who believe there's a better way to do things.
We're here to challenge the traditional pet transportation model by helping breeders connect directly, coordinate trips they're already making, and keep more money within the dog community.
Less money lost to unnecessary transportation costs. More opportunities to help one another. Better experiences for dogs and the people who love them.
The idea is simple: connect the people, coordinate the trips, and let the dog community benefit.
The first 500 get in free. Forever.
**Will you be one of them?
Why A Need For Bark N Ride?
Let me introduce myself…
My name is Haley & I’ve been a professional trainer for 18 years and have worked with hundreds of breeders.
I know from experience that one of the biggest headaches of the profession is puppy transport.
Ideally, we always want new puppy owners to come and pick up their puppy on-site. That way, we know the puppy is traveling home with someone who cares deeply about them & we can take some time to answer any questions they have.
In other words, we can connect.
We strive for that as much as possible.
BUT… that isn’t always possible. Sometimes a puppy has to be delivered.
The 4 Current Options
Airline Cargo Service
For many breeders, just hearing those words brings back memories.
It can be faster than ground transportation, but the airport logistics, uncertainty, and separation from your puppy can make the experience stressful. And it's not the experience many of us would choose if we had a better alternative.
Pet Nanny
A personal flight companion can be a convenient option, but the cost can add up quickly. And while many pet nannies provide wonderful care, their experience with puppy behavior, breeder-specific needs, and the handoff process can vary.
Ground Transport Service
Long routes. Multiple pickups and drop-offs. Crates secured for the journey. Potentially riding with several other dogs & puppies of various ages & health histories. Hours upon hours on the road.
Some providers do a great job, but you may have limited control over the route, schedule, and who is handling your puppy along the way. And the cost can be significant.
Take the Puppy Ourselves
Which is what we usually do.
Why?
Because we care.
We want our puppies to arrive safely.
We want to know they're being handled with care.
We want to meet their new families and make sure everything gets off to a good start.
So we rearrange our schedules, put other parts of life on hold, and sometimes spend an entire day—or two—delivering one puppy.
When we can.
But what happens when we can't?
What If There's a Better Way?
What if, instead of relying only on cargo services, pet nannies, commercial transport companies, or making every trip ourselves, we tap into something we already have?
Each other.
Imagine a connected community of breeders and dog professionals who can coordinate transportation, help one another get dogs where they need to go, and earn money for the rides they provide.
People who understand dogs. People who understand breeders. People who know that transporting a puppy is about more than getting from Point A to Point B.
It's about really taking care of the needs that puppy to the people who are waiting to love it.
That's the idea behind Bark N Ride.
A better-connected breeder community. More transportation possibilities. And a chance to help one another—one journey at a time.
How It Works
A community of professionals. A smarter way to transport puppies.
1. Trusted Professionals Only
Bark N Ride is designed for established, reputable dog breeders and pet professionals. Members are screened to help maintain a community built on trust, professionalism, and responsible dog care.
Puppy mills and backyard breeders are not welcome. We're building a network of professionals who care about the dogs, the families, and the future of our industry.
2. Post Where You're Going
Breeders post their planned puppy delivery routes in the Bark N Ride app. Other members can discover those routes by location and identify opportunities to coordinate transportation.
3. Connect. Coordinate. Help Each Other
Need to get a puppy to a family several hours away? Another breeder may already be heading in that direction.
Instead of automatically turning to air cargo or arranging a separate trip, you can connect with a fellow professional and coordinate a more convenient option.
4. Turn Transportation Into an Opportunity
Already making a delivery? You may be able to take another puppy along and earn money for the additional transportation.
Need a puppy delivered? Connecting with a breeder who's already traveling your way may help reduce the cost and hassle of getting your puppy home.
And when your own travel needs align with someone else's route, you may even be able to get your puppy delivered at little or no additional travel cost.
5. Better Connections. Better Puppy Journeys
Puppies can travel with experienced dog professionals who understand their needs. Breeders gain opportunities to collaborate, offset travel costs, and build valuable industry relationships. Puppy buyers may benefit from more convenient delivery options and a smoother handoff.
And everyone gets the opportunity to be part of a community that looks out for one another.
That's the Bark N Ride difference.
Less hassle. More opportunity. Stronger connections. Breeders helping breeders.
It's a win-win for everyone. Now that's taking care of people!
