I had a wedding out of town on a Saturday. Thursday night I was in a panic when it dawned on me that I did not make plans for my lab, Nala. I called Central Bark (Franklin) Friday morning and they accommodated Nala by taking her for the weekend.
Not only does my dog LOVE Central Bark in Franklin...I love coming there to pick and drop her off. The people there will treat you like family.

I was so nervous to bring our puppy, Louie, to doggie day care. It was important to us to make sure Louie was socialized with other dogs in a supervised atmosphere. Louie absolutely loves the place! He gets so excited on his mornings and runs around with the leash in his mouth to tell us "Time to go to daycare!" Gail and Stan are great with the dogs. I'm so glad we found them!

Recently, my sister-in-law's kitten was going to have major surgery for a life threatening condition. They had plans to go to Puerto Rico for a week, so they asked me if I could be the kittens caretaker after the surgery. Of course, I said yes, but then wondered what we would do with our Border Collie, Fly. The kitten would need to be kept quiet after surgery. I started to panic, because our Border Collie will herd and chase anything that moves! I called Stan and explained that Fly would need to come to Central Bark on the days that the kitten would be with us. This was all very touch and go, since I did not know what day, or even if the kitten would need surgery. Stan, in his usual calm demeanor said ,no problem, let us know. Well, the surgery went from a definite yes, to maybe, to yes, to maybe in the course of 3 days. I was on the phone quite a bit with Stan making tentative plans for Fly's stay at Central Bark. Stan, as usual,was very accomodating and said to just let them know. As the drama unfolded, we went from a 3 day 2 night stay to just one day, because the kitten got better on his own. I can't thank Central Bark enough for being so accomodating. They truly took the panic out of the whole situation. Thanks again!

Central Bark has become a wonderful second home for our Golden Retriver - Dieter. Stan, Kayle and the staff at Central Bark in Franklin are great. We ask Dieter, on his day care days, if he wants to go see Stan! He runs to the door and eagerly wants for us to take him to Central Bark. Central Bark also offers great boarding services. Dieter loves to stay overnight and he receives excellent care while we are on vacation. We never have to worry about him. Thank you Central Bark!!!

I just want to say a few words about the lovely people at Central Bark in Franklin that have taken care of our Bugsy for almost three years now. I should have submitted this a long time ago, but better late than never!

When we were about to adopt Bugsy from a local pug rescue, I went and toured many Doggy Day Care facilities in anticipation of our adoption. I wanted the absolutely very best place for him and I needed to know that he would be cared for and loved just as I would. I knew that as a rescue, I couldn't afford to put him in another bad situation.

I decided on Central Bark in Franklin, because I know that Gayle and Stan and all the staff care for Bugsy and all the dogs there just like their very own. They also care just as much for their human clients too, and Mark and I are so very fortunate to call them our friends.

So, I highly recommend their facility if you want the very best place for your furry child.

Callie M. has been coming to Central Bark for almost a year now and yips everytime we turn the corner onto 60th. She loves playing with the other dogs, especially Millie whom their mom's work together. Central Bark has been the best thing that has happened to Callie and her mom. The staff is exceptional and wouldn't trust anyone else with my most precious package. Thank you so much!

Scout loves doggy daycare. I have been very pleased with the staff @ your facility and would recommend (have actually) to other dog owners. I have been especially grateful for Scout's visits since the weather this winter has been very cold. Scout is a very social and friendly dog, she has a great time with her friends @ Central Bark and the staff. Thanks .

Central Bark is the best! I looked at Benjerman (beagle) after the first of the year and realized that this poor boy was bored. I had off of work for 4 months and went back to work and he was just lonely. He has only been there a few weeks now but I noticed a big difference in him right away. He howls as I turn onto 60th Street to let me know he knows where he is. Just wanted to thank his new family at Central Bark for helping out this single Mom!

Central Bark has been absolutely AWESOME for our 1 year old dog Ivy!! She joined our family at about 6 months old and was a rescue who needed lots of love and friends. Having her at Central Bark has made a HUGE difference in her personality and confidence. She knows the days she is coming because she follows us around the house and jumps out of the car at arrival. She is the most excited dog when entering the building and greeted by the staff here!! Thank you for everything you have done for her to appreciate life and helping bring out the love and trust in her that she needed!!
