Every time we visit Central Bark, they do such a great job with our baby Berney! The staff is very professional, and he always smells amazing after his grooming. We usually do the mini groom, but next time we’re definitely going for the full groom ❤️ Highly recommend!
Skylar’s ears perk up when I tell her it’s a “school” day. She knows she’s in for a good time with her buddies–four-legged and two-legged as well. The staff, especially Xav, take great care of Skylar and me. I appreciate all the staff has done to help us on a personal level as well.
I highly recommend Central Bark! They have been an integral part of my puppy’s socialization and happiness. They offer a free Puppy Hour on Saturdays, which gives puppies a safe and fun opportunity to play together under a trainer’s supervision. This was a total godsend for my puppy. It can be difficult to find opportunities to socialize a puppy in the first 16 weeks while also keeping them safe while they get their vaccines. Puppy Hour helped her so much.
Our dog aged out of Puppy Hour, so now we bring her back to Central Bark for some fun play time and enrichment with other dogs. (It’s actually well out of our way, but we make the extra drive because we trust them!) We’re excited to start her on Circuit Training! The facilities are great, the trainers are very professional and knowledgeable, and they take fantastic care of the dogs.

I can’t say enough about Central Bark. The staff there is awesome and they all know my baby’s name. Pepsi loves going there so much.
The groomers do such an amazing job and make my girl look beautiful every time.
We boarded our dogs for the weekend—one for the first time and one who’s stayed elsewhere before—and both came home extremely happy.
The daily report cards showed how much the staff genuinely loves and cares for every pet. Our doggos were showered with care and cuddles. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring bedding, toys, or treats for my dog?
Nope! We got you covered! Most dogs will not need any bedding for a single day of day care. If your dog is boarding with us, see our Sleepover Guidelines. As far as treats and toys, we have plenty! Please ask about which toy and treat products are available.
How do you train a puppy?
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 puppy. We offer expert training and classes so you and your puppy can learn and bond together.

Visit our Dog Blog for more helpful tips.
Can I stay with my dog at the groomers?
You do not need to stay with your dog during their grooming appointment. Our expert groomers always aim to help your dog feel as calm and relaxed as possible during their bathing and grooming experience. If your pup is feeling a little unsure, ask our training team about ways to enrich their experience and help create positive associations by using positive reward-based training methods.

Why choose doggy day care for your dog?
There’s no bond like the one between our furry best friends and us. We love our dogs and want to give them the best life possible. But it can be challenging to fulfill all their needs to stay healthy and happy for a lifetime. Doggy day care gives pups a place to play and learn in a safe environment, with the socialization, mental stimulation, and physical exercise their minds and bodies need to stay healthy for a lifetime.
- Dogs get to socialize. Dogs are social creatures. Positive experiences with new humans, new dogs, and new environments are essential to a well-rounded pup.
- Dogs learn social skills. Dogs learn from other dogs – they’re always teaching each other what is (and isn’t) appropriate social behavior. Doggy day care staff can also help support safe play and practice healthy social behaviors.
- Dogs get more exercise. Exercise helps your dog maintain a healthy weight and muscle tone while improving their mood and providing a healthy outlet for their physical and mental energy, meaning they can be more relaxed at home.
- Dogs get human attention. Your dog will get the care and love they need while you’re at work or school.
- Parents get a break. Doggy day care can give you a day off from responsibilities, while your dog gets what they need to be a healthier, more well-adjusted pet.
