Complete Training ProfileDog 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 — This skill is essential for any dog owner. Positive reinforcement is used to teach dogs to come when called, even in distracting environments.
- Basic commands — Dogs should know basic commands such as sit, stay, down, wait, and leave-it. Positive reinforcement techniques are used to teach these essential skills. As a result, your dog’s behavior can improve, making them easier to manage.
- Door and gate control — Teaching dogs to wait patiently at doors and gates can prevent them from running out into unsafe areas. Trainers can teach dogs to enter and depart on cue while waiting peacefully at gates and doors.
- Loose-leash walking — Dogs that tug on the leash can be annoying and even hazardous. Trainers can help teach dogs to walk calmly on a loose leash, making walks more enjoyable for both the owner and the dog.
- Other behaviors — The trainers can work with the owner and dog on other behaviors or issues such as separation anxiety, barking, or destructive chewing.

Rest Period Enrichment

Caren
Certified Dog Trainer
Caren embraces Central Bark’s reward-based paw-losophy that focuses on fun and positive reinforcement. Caren is a CPDT and ABC certified trainer, and has been training dogs since 2010. Caren was one of the first to join the Central Bark team shortly after it’s opening in 2014! Caren focuses on our Private School Program. Rather than training being conducted in group settings, Caren comes to your home and works with your family and your pup on a one-on-one basis. While Caren is thrilled to work with families on basic obedience, Caren’s is also truly passionate about working with a dog that may have developed a negative reaction to an experience; a dog who might be displaying some fear or reactivity. Helping these dogs become more comfortable with their surroundings is one of the most rewarding parts of training for Caren.
