Berlin, February 17, 2026 – Just in time for spring, Eat Pray Bark – Therapy on Four Paws is bringing a wildly entertaining comedy to Netflix on April 1. Surrounded by a breathtaking Alpine backdrop, five dog owners set off with their loyal four-legged friends on a journey to a training camp. Coaching sessions with the infamous dog trainer Nodon (Rúrik Gíslason) are supposed to get their dogs back on track and guarantee obedient behavior in the future.However, during the rather unconventional training sessions, it quickly becomes clear that the colorful group – made up of politician Urschi (Alexandra Maria Lara), eternal optimist Babs (Anna Herrmann), lone wolf Hakan (Kerim Waller), and the couple Ziggy (Doğa Gürer) and Helmut (Devid Striesow) – has one thing in common: the problem isn’t their dogs, it’s themselves.

About Eat Pray Bark In this fast-paced comedy, five eccentric dog owners seek help in dealing with their four-legged companions. Their last hope: an intensive course with the charismatic and enigmatic dog trainer Nodon in the Tyrolean Alps. The motley crew includes dog-hating politician Ursula, who has adopted the stubborn dog Brenda to polish her public image; naïve Babs with her big, boisterous dog Torsten; the constantly bickering married couple Ziggy and Helmut with their pampered Yorkshire terrier Gaga; and, last but not least, the distant Hakan, who doesn’t trust his insecure Belgian Shepherd Roxy. With unconventional methods, dog trainer Nodon tries to coach the overwhelmed two-legged participants, as it quickly becomes clear that they are the ones who need help – not their loyal four-legged companions.
