Walter LOVES Central Bark Franklin. He always comes home after being well exercised and stimulated, ready for a short nap.
My dog loves going here he has so much fun and always gets excited when he’s dropped off and happy when I pick him up. The staff is very nice and friendly and I’m glad he found a comfortable safe place to play.
I’ve been taking Louie to Central Bark Franklin for over four years. I love the location, facilities and the staff is very nice and great with the dogs. Louie is excited to go and comes home tired. I appreciate their flexibility in scheduling. He’s a bit of a nervous dog but does very well here!
Ruger just loves it at Central Bark, he has been coming to the Franklin campus for over 4 years. The staff is just wonderful. He & I are very happy with Central Bark Franklin.
We’ve been coming to Central Bark since 2022, now with 2 dogs and love it! Both pups get so excited when they hear “do you want to go see your friends today?” The socialization, exercise, training and time spent with people other than me has been so good for them. The staff is friendly and always excited to see us come in. I would highly recommend Central Bark Franklin for any pup!
I have been bringing my oldest dog (3.5y/o) to Central Bark since December 2024 and now my youngest dog (7mo) also comes to daycare on a weekly basis. Both are Belgian Malinois/GSD Mixes, and certainly a lot of energy/unique personalities, and CB handles them with such great care. ALL of the handlers are great – I really feel that they care deeply about all of the dogs, and sometimes I think that my dogs are their favorites! But honestly I think that’s just how they make all owners feel.🙃
Ailey is so attentive and takes extra care to make sure each dog has its own great experience, unique to its personality and needs. To be able to walk in and have my dog greeted by name every single day is such a great feeling. They also post pictures of all of the pups every day on their Facebook page. It’s the highlight of my workday checking for the post and looking at how happy my dogs are that day (I call it “puppy time!”).
Dog Grooming is also a godsend that I can drop my dog off and kill two birds with one stone. First, my oldest used to need to go to the vet to get his nails trimmed. The girls at CB have such a good rapport with him, though, that THEY can trim his nails! The groomer is also very good. Whatever shampoo they use smells SO good, and I don’t bring home my pups smelling like wet dog. How awesome is it that I no longer have to schedule separate visits at other locations for these services.
All in all, I highly recommend anyone with a pup, no matter breed or age, bring them into Central Bark. Your dog will get so much fulfillment! Don’t believe me? Looks at how happy my dogs are while at Daycare.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does dog training take?
The timeline for learning new behaviors and skills is as unique as every dog! Because each dog is an individual, with different learning histories, breed genetics, and preferences in reinforcers like treats and toys, there is no way to say for sure how long training will take. It’s also important to consider how much time each family has for daily training practice.
Whether you’re crate training, leash walking, or potty training your pup, consistency is key. It’s crucial to establish a routine, practice positive reinforcement, supervise your puppy (especially when potty training), and avoid punishing your puppy when mistakes happen.
Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you train your dog, with expert training and classes so you and your pup can learn and bond together.

How much does dog training cost?
With a variety of training solutions available, training costs depend upon what kind of training you and your dog need.
Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you train your new puppy or older dog. Including group classes and Training Tutor sessions that can take place during day care. Our expert training and classes help you, and your dog learn and bond together.
Do groomers sedate dogs?
No. At Central Bark®, we never sedate dogs in our salon. Our expert groomers always aim to help your dog feel as calm and relaxed as possible during their bathing and grooming experience.
Suppose your dog has shown extreme stress or anxiety toward grooming in the past. In that case, we suggest speaking with a trusted veterinarian and one of our reward-based trainers about how we can best support your dog.

We are happy to accommodate your dog’s feeding schedule as part of their “Rest Period Enrichments.” Simply bring their food in pre-portioned containers with clear instructions. Our trained staff will ensure your dog receives their meal in a private, quiet space. We are also experienced in handling a variety of specific needs, including day care for dogs with allergies and medication administration, though additional fees may apply.
