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.

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.
