Great article on Oscar, Peggy, what a wonderful family to take him in and nurse him back to health. Thanks for taking such good care of Ike while I'm away; I know that he is in good hands. I can see by your photos that he is having a great time with all of his friends and I hope his special lady friends were in this week. I appreciate you and Bruce and your caring staff. Have a blessed day.

Central Bark has not only taught my crazy lab good socialization and dog "manners" through daycare and training classes, but has saved my sanity in the early months of having a puppy! Bruce & Peggy are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and I trust them completely with my dog. She gets dropped off with boundless energy and comes home happy, healthy and exhausted. I even convinced my sister (who lives in Avon) to board her new German Shepherd puppy there for a long weekend, and she loved it! Now only if Central Bark took kids, too! :)

Our pups have been going to Doggie Day Care on Fridays for about a year now...where does the time go? Buffett & Bridgett are visibly excited to see their friends and of course Peggy & Bruce. Truly great people. Peggy is always answering my questions and offering suggestions. Both pups attended Puppy I and II classes last year and visit Julie in the Salon often. Bridgett is very "anti-personal grooming" but Julie manages to make her look beautiful every time. Couldn't be happier and have recommended Central Bark to several friends. Keep up the awesome work P&B! P. S. Sleepovers are great too...very accommodating, even at the last minute!

We need more photos of Bella!!!!

We were hesitant to use a doggy cay care at first - both of our Australian Cattle Dogs are territorial and not exactly "go with the flow" pups (7 & 10 yrs)... after Peggy gave them the A-OK to come, there has been no turning back. They adapted far better & faster than I ever would have thought and truly enjoy going "to play with friends" each week. They have strong personalities - but are welcomed and have become park of the pack. I am proud of them - but so happy to have found Bruce & Peggy.
We have since used Central Bark for some sleepovers (even an emergency one) that we had NEVER done before and are now using their excellent grooming service. High praise there too, as our 7 yr old has super sensitive skin and they had no problem taking her in.
On top of that, they are extra friendly people and make it point to chat with our 4 yr old son at drop-off, which he looks forward to each week.

Thanks for everything - I can't say enough good things about them!!

We have a 4 month old mini schnauzer, Archie. On an earlier trip to our vet, Dr. Chris Dresser, we asked about puppy classes in the area. She recommended Central Bark. We stopped on our way home and met Bruce. What a nice guy! He gave us a tour of the facilities and we were very impressed with how clean and bright the facility was. We decided to sign up for the Puppy I classes. Archie just graduated from this 6 week session and we were totally pleased with Peggy's instructions, informative approach and help in getting Archie started in the right direction to becoming a great companion. So pleased, he's signed up for Puppy II classes already. Peggy has been a great sounding board with extremely helpful suggestions.

Archie has also been to Central Bark for a couple of haircuts. I drop him off and Julie works her magic with him. He gets that 'handsome' schnauzer look. We have had several comments about how nice he is groomed and we can't say enough good things about Julie. The 1st time I dropped him off to her, I was thrilled that he took to her and I had no worries that he was in the hands of a professional and dog lover!

What a great atmosphere for our pets. Anytime I have stopped to make a purchase, everyone at Central Bark greets you with a smile! Happy employees are a sign of a top notch facility...and that's what Peggy and Bruce have created.

I just want to thank Peggy and Bruce for giving our dog Mollie such great care and fun when she comes to visit. She has been going there since she was about 4 1/2 months old, and no joke, when we tell her she is going to see her friends (Peggy and Bruce) she know EXACTLY where she is going! She is a little over a year now and when we get into the car and start off in the morning she is literally almost driving the car because she is so excited to go there. This place is amazing and I would recommend them to anybody. My husband and I could not be happier and we have the utmost trust and faith in them both. Thank you Peggy and Bruce for all you have done to make Mollie's day a blast ! :)

Our puppy has really enjoyed her Puppy I and II classes. Peggy offered many ideas which we would have never thought of and her behavior has improved greatly - if only she behaved as well at home as she does at CB!

I had adopted a 3 year old Westie and brought him in for training. What wonders this class did for him. He still has small issues that need to be worked on. But having training class for 6 weeks really changed my dog. Eventually I would like to try out the daycare for him.

I have an 18 month Bernese whos had elbow displaysia surgery and a tough beginning. After she healed, I found Central Bark and Bruce and Peggy. I take my dog once a week for some fun and socialization. My first concern was safety and trust. Bruce and Peggy are awesome. My dog is safe, I trust them and I cannot imagine my dog now without this fun once a week. What a wonderful gift for my dog. A safe place to have fun! I am so appreciative of them and their facility. Thanks! Love - Tula

Our dog "Lucy" has been enrolled in the puppy I and puppy II classes. She has learned so much and the classes as well as the day care have made her a social butterfly. We have become comfortable with letting her play with the neighborhood dogs and she may even teach them some of the social skills she has learned. When we take Lucy to day care we cannot wait to look at the pictures and see how much fun she is having playing with other dogs. She comes home very tired, but cannot wait to go back and play again.
Keep up the good work Bruce & Peggy!

We were a little nervous at first when we took our dog Sugar for the first time to CB because we weren't sure how she would react, but we found that she absoulety loves going!!! Peggy and Bruce take such good care of her and it makes us feel good that she is in such good hands!!! Thanks so much!!

Peggy & Bruce are the best and operate a wonderful doggie day care facility.

Our two dogs are like kids to us and we couldn't be more happy with how much Peggy and Bruce care for them when they are at day care.

The pictures speaks for themselves. Our dogs have a blast at CB.

Keep up the fantastic work!!!!

Peggy/Bruce,
I have to tell you that your facility is very impressive. It is immaculately clean and the people and dogs are all so friendly. I bring my golden retriever Emily in at least once a week. I can tell that Emily LOVES it there because in the morning I just ask her-do you want to go to doggy day care? Emily will then go nuts with excitement until I get her in the car and she is certain she is coming in for a day.
I also like the pictures you post on the website because sometimes when she is at CB I miss her but, I can at least see pictures of her having a great time.
Emily also LOVES the "pet"-i-cures and other services you offer as well as the treats you sell.

We adopted a puppy named Molly when she was 12 weeks old and enrolled her in the Puppy Training & Socialization Class at Central Bark. Through attending class and working with Molly she has learned her basic commands and is developing faster then we expected thanks mostly to Peggy's instruction. She has been a great help in training Molly as well as teaching us about puppy behaviors. Peggy has been a great resource for some of the frustrations that we encountered when we brought Molly home. Her suggestions have been greatly appreciated! I highly recommend Central Bark to all of my friends and family. Congratulations on your grand opening and we wish the best of luck!

Sincerely,
Jeremy, Jennifer & Miss Molly

I started taking my dog Blitz to Central Bark the first day they opened (Feb 25th). As of now, he is only at doggy day care one day a week but Blitz told me he would really like to attend more frequently! I can tell by the photos that he absolutely LOVES the time he spends there playing and socializing with all the other dogs. Central Bark provides an opportunity for this nine month old to run and play and burn off some of that endless puppy energy while I have to work, and that makes me feel good too.

Peggy and Bruce have a great facility and it's very obvious that they care about their clients. I wish them well and highly recommend this facility for all the services they offer.

Sincerely,
Anna Myroniak & Rich Ryba

Hi Peggy:

Thanks for the great tour of your facility last week. Everything looks great and I'm anxious to bring my Great Dane Triton for an interview/trial at your day care facility. I'm still getting together his shot verification and then will be faxing all in.

Thank you also for the wonderful conversation we had about our pets, their pancreatic problems, and your suggestions and follow-up phone call with more valuable information. Talking with you really opened my eyes to lot more than I was aware of concerning this problem and treatment. You certainly went "above and beyond" and it is appreciated.

Congrats on the new facility! Baesd on meeting and talking with you and touring Centeral Bark, I know you will be very successful.

Sincerely,

Andrea Jeric
