Eat, Pray, Bark is a German comedy available on Netflix starting April 1, 2026. Set in the picturesque Tyrolean mountains, the film follows a group of dog owners attending an intensive training retreat led by a renowned trainer known for his unconventional methods. Through this unlikely gathering, the story humorously examines the bond between humans and their furry friends in a series of amusing situations.
The story revolves around five trainers, each with their own distinct personalities, who gather at a dog training center led by Nodon, a charismatic trainer with a well-established reputation. All of them hope to tackle their pets' behavioral issues through this intensive program set deep in the mountains.
The group includes Ursula, a politician who adopted her dog Brenda in hopes of improving her public image, along with Babs and her imposing Rottweiler, Torsten. Also present are Ziggy and Helmut, a couple often at odds, accompanied by their Yorkshire Terrier, Gaga. Nearby is Hakan, a reserved owner of an anxious Belgian Shepherd named Roxy. Faced with these owners overwhelmed by the situation, Nodon tries to use his unorthodox methods. But as the training progresses, it becomes clear that the real students may not be the dogs, but their owners.
The official trailer will be added as soon as Netflix releases it.
