Dog Tricks Taught at Central Bark Atlanta
Central Bark offers customized dog training programs that cater to each dog’s unique needs. The training services include a wide range of skills and behaviors, such as:
- Name Recall: Teaching dogs to come when called, even in distracting environments, using positive reinforcement.
- Basic Commands: Utilizing positive reinforcement techniques to teach essential commands such as sit, stay, down, wait, and leave-it. This enhances your dog’s behavior, making them easier to manage.
- Door and Gate Control: Instructing dogs to wait patiently at doors and gates to prevent them from entering unsafe areas. Trainers can teach dogs to enter and depart on cue while waiting peacefully at gates and doors.
- Loose-Leash Walking: Helping dogs learn to walk calmly on a loose leash, reducing tugging and making walks more enjoyable for both the owner and the dog.
- Other Behaviors: Collaborating with the owner to address specific behaviors or issues such as separation anxiety, excessive barking, or destructive chewing.

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.
