About Central Bark Amarillo
My name is Wyatt Smith and I am so excited to announce that I am the proud new owner of Central Bark Amarillo. While I know most of you from my tenure as a co-manager of Central Bark, I just wanted to reassure you that you are going to receive the same level of care and commitment you have come to associate with Central Bark now that I have moved into an ownership position. Central Bark is like family to me, and I will continue to be on site handling day-to-day operations to ensure your dogs receive nothing but the best in care, service, and dedication you have come to expect.
What you might not know about me is that I grew up on a ranch just outside of Amarillo and have been surrounded by cattle, horses, dogs, and other animals all my life. I’m sure that’s where the foundation for my love of dogs comes from. In fact, over the last three years, we have fostered about 30-35 dogs with Gracie’s Project and Texas Pet Savers.
When the opportunity came up to purchase Central Bark, we knew it was our destiny because the business aligns so much with my core values – whole dog care that balances love, play, learning, and rest. My wife and I are lifelong dog lovers, and we currently own three dogs – a 13-year-old Boxer-Mastiff mix named Tex, a 3-year-old Blue Heeler Terrier mix named Flinn, and Rocky, our 5-year-old boxer. You’ll probably see Rocky with us at Central Bark. We look forward to seeing you at Central Bark Amarillo!
“I invite you to come by, call, or email us with any questions you may have about enrichment daycare for your dog! I, along with my excellent staff, look forward to meeting yall!”

Frequently Asked Questions
An essential characteristic of a dog groomer is someone who makes you and your dog feel safe and comfortable.
Other things to look for:
- Certifications – Groomers don’t need a license or certification to work. Still, these accreditations are often signs that the groomer has the necessary training and experience to care for your pup.
- Experience with different breeds – Look for a groomer with experience with a variety of breeds and coats and the standard haircut for your dog’s breed.
- Preparedness – A groomer should work with dogs of all ages and levels of experience with grooming. They should aim to help each dog feel as comfortable as possible with the grooming process. Suppose the dog or puppy becomes anxious or uncomfortable. In that case, the groomer should be able to suggest a plan for increasing their comfort over time with the use of a positive reward-based approach.

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.
