Nik does a great job with our Pekingnese. It’s a mutual love-fest every time he goes to grooming! Can’t recommend enought.
CBA staff are kind and loving with my dog and I am sure she is safe and engaged when she is there. Sleepovers (boarding) have been working just fine and I don’t feel worried when I travel now. I am so grateful that a neighbor recommended CBA!!
I’m thrilled to have Central Bark a place I can trust to take the best care of my dog. Service is above and beyond. Everyone is very caring and knowledgeable. Definitely the best around!”
We were living in Atlanta for a year and Central Bark was the closest daycare facility to my work. When we visited the facility before bringing the dogs, the staff were extremely kind and helpful with showing us around and answering our questions.
The facility and the staff were absolutely amazing for our two Great Dane boys. They would match the play group with their personality and activity, which they would come home tired and happy from a fun day. They also loved every staff member and were always happy to see them when they arrive!
One of our pups had surgery and couldn’t stay home after the first couple weeks due to our work, but their “Day and Play” program is exceptional for needing to be away from other dogs until medically cleared. Despite being alone, he had a buddy throughout the day for low-level play time and enrichment to keep him busy.
We highly recommend taking your dogs to Central Bark in Atlanta! We honestly wish we could’ve picked them up and take them with us to our new home destination. Even if your dog can’t be with other dogs for some reason, they will not be bored! We miss them dearly!

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!

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!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best dog shampoo?
Choosing the right dog shampoo can give your dog a shiny coat, less itching, and irritation, for a happy, clean-smelling dog. The best option for your dog will depend on its skin type and breed.
Every item in our Central Bark® Market is specially selected to enhance your dog’s physical health for maximum happiness and comfort. We can help you choose from our selection of high-quality dog shampoo food to develop and maintain healthy skin and coat.
Call or visit our Market today!
How can I be sure that the play space is clean, odor & disease-free, comfortable and safe for the stated capacity of the center?
Central Bark® is licensed and inspected by the Health Department regularly. We also clean and disinfect nightly, regardless of how many dogs have visited.
What is dog training?
Dog training teaches a dog to perform certain behaviors, often in a variety of contexts. At Central Bark®, our training classes are based on the latest research and scientific understanding of dog behavior to enhance the bond between you and your dog.
We use positive reward-based techniques to help puppies and dogs of all ages develop essential life skills and behaviors that will enrich their lives at home and day care. These methods set dogs up to succeed and reward them for performing desired behaviors. Rewards are tailored to the dog’s preferences and can include food treats, time to play with a favorite toy, or verbal praise.

What’s a Behavior Assessment and why is it important?
As part of joining the Central Bark® family, our expert staff conducts a thorough behavior assessment at your local Central Bark store. These assessments help ensure that your dog is placed with a playgroup they’re comfortable with so they can play safely every day they’re with us.
This four-day evaluation, while your dog participates in our Enrichment Day Care, assesses your dog’s:
- Comfort and social skills with people
- Social skills and playstyle with other dogs to help determine the playgroup and play schedule they can benefit from the most
- Comfort in both indoor and outdoor play spaces
- Comfort in rest areas and a crate
- Ability to share resources like water and toys in social settings
- Level of comfort taking treats in social settings
This process gives us a chance to get to know you and your dog while your dog gets acquainted with their new favorite place away from home. Through the entire four days, your dog’s comfort and safety is our top priority.
Once your pup passes all the behavior assessment elements, you are welcome to sign up for any of our daycare services or a sleepover!
To schedule a Behavior Assessment for your dog, please contact your local store.
NOTE: Please bring all required signed forms, vaccination proof, and a collar and leash for your behavior assessment.
