Eat, Pray, Bark is a German comedy. It’s silly but it has dogs and the Tyrolean mountains. If those two things are enough for you, this movie is worth a watch.

Eat, Pray, Bark takes five dog owners in need of help with training their dogs and dumps them high in the mountains in an inn with a sassy cook and an owner who pretends to be a Celtic spiritual guru who trains people, not their dogs.

The first person we meet is Ursula (Alexandra Maria Lara) a politician who gets caught on a live mic explaining how much she hates dogs. Dog lovers cancel her instantly. Her manager insists she get a dog and demonstrate what a good dog owner she is immediately.

She discovers a dog trainer in the mountains named Nodon (Rúrik Gíslason) and books a couple of days there. The others who show up with their dogs are the married couple Helmut (Devid Striesow) and Ziggy (Doga Gürer). These two bicker constantly. Ziggy holds the tiny dog at all times. Whenever Helmut approaches the dog it snaps at him.

Babs (Anna Herrmann) is a mess of a woman with a huge hairball of a dog she can’t control even a little bit. Hakan (Kerim Waller) is broody and quiet. He keeps a muzzle on his dog at all times.

When they get to the inn, Birgit (Brigitte Kren) confiscates their phones, shows them their rooms, and serves them a lunch of herbs and grasses. She takes no guff from anyone.

When Nodon makes his grand entrance he looks like a god. All 5 of the people there are stunned by how beautiful he is. Then he starts talking. They realize he’s a bit odd.

Babs is sure he’s magic. Ursula doesn’t trust him. Helmut has a lot of complaints. Hakan is quiet and withdrawn.

Nodon takes his guests on a spiritual quest, which he believes will heal their relationships with their unruly dogs. Because this is a comedy, Nodon manages to turn their lives around in merely 2 days and they all leave happier with their dogs and themselves than when they arrived. Yay!

Here’s a trailer in English. You can watch Eat, Pray, Bark dubbed in English or in the original German on Netflix. It isn’t the best, but it has dogs.
