Welcome to Central Bark Amarillo
There’s nothing quite like the bond we have with our furry companions. Our dogs hold a special place in our hearts, and we always strive to give them the best life possible. However, meeting all of their needs can sometimes be a challenge.
That’s where Central Bark comes in.
Families rely on us to provide the love and care necessary to keep their dogs healthy, happy, and well-rounded. When you bring your dog to Central Bark Amarillo, you can trust that they’ll spend their day enjoying the company of friends in a safe and nurturing environment.
Our approach to Whole Dog Care focuses on nurturing and enhancing every aspect of your dog’s health and well-being throughout their lifetime. At the core of this approach is our Enrichment Dog Day Care program. Additionally, we offer services such as dog boarding, baths, grooming, a market for pet supplies, training, and more. All are designed to help you and your dog experience the best life together.
We understand that dogs aren’t just considered family – they are family. As dog parents ourselves, we take immense pride in treating each and every dog that walks through our doors as if they were our own.

Dog Day Care. Reimagined.
Central Bark Enrichment Dog Day Care takes dog day care to a whole new level! It combines our industry-leading expertise with the latest dog behavior science and positive dog training principles. Your dog can enjoy a fun and healthy day tailored to them, with the proper amount of play, mental and physical exercise, socialization, training, rest, and love they need to be healthy, happy, and well-rounded.
Flexible Playgroups
Small and large playgroup options allow us to match better your dog’s personality, needs, and preferences with the social atmosphere and amount of play they can enjoy and benefit from most.
Group Play Skills
Group Play Skills are a fun and rewarding way for dogs to practice important skills like name recall, and behaviors like group sit and calmly going in and out of doors and gates.
Rest Period Enrichment
Rest Period Enrichment sessions help dogs achieve a healthy balance. They can relax and recharge in their own private space with calming enrichment toys and healthy foods tailored to their preferences and diet.
Enrichment Sessions
Personalized One-on-One Enrichment sessions give the extra attention dogs love and the freedom to use their senses and safely explore their instincts through interactive toys, puzzles, and games.
Frequently Asked Questions
Once you have enrolled, we will need a copy of your dog’s vaccination records, which you can upload to your online account or bring with you on your scheduled first day. We also ask that your dog comes in on a regular 6-foot flat leash (no retractable or flexi-leads in the lobby) and a quick-release collar. Not sure what a quick-release collar is? No problem! We’ll be happy to show you on your first day. If your dog usually wears a harness while walking, you’re welcome to bring that as well.
If your dog typically eats a midday meal, you can bring it in an airtight container clearly labeled with your dog’s first and last names.
Central Bark® has outdoor facilities complete with swimming pools and cooling systems for the summer.
Our Stay-n-Play program offers boarding for dogs that have not enrolled in our day care program. Each overnight guest gets a restful night’s sleep, followed by a day of play, exercise, and plenty of TLC from our staff. Stay-n-Play guests sleep and play in their own designated areas.
