Jamie at Central Dog Bark did an amazing job grooming our senior Golden Retriever! She was so kind and patient grooming her while she laid down the entire time since it was too hard for her to stand The grooming was neat and thorough and you can tell Jamie truly loves pets.
It was our first visit, and when I picked her up she was calm and happy – so different from our previous groomer! Always hard leaving your pet but seeing how well she was cared for made me feel completely comfortable. Highly recommend!

Jamie is the BEST!!! Highly recommend her. She took care of our puppy and took her time grooming her and made sure everything was perfect. She had some matts that needed to be taken care of, and she was able to get them right off without fully shaving her down. She even hand makes bows for the dogs! Her grooming services and love for the dogs is amazing 😁
I cannot say enough good things about Central Bark. Our puppy, Brutus, goes here for doggy daycare while we are at work and he absolutely loves it. The excitement he shows just walking through the front door or seeing the staff says everything. You cannot fake that kind of happiness in a dog. Our puppy is almost three months old and leaving him anywhere for the first time was honestly nerve racking. Central Bark made the entire process feel safe and thoughtful. They did a behavioral assessment and placed him with dogs that matched his size, personality, and energy level. Another thing that sets them apart is that they go beyond basic daycare. They have helped us work on puppy biting, leash manners, and overall behavior. He has learned so much just by being in a structured environment with other dogs and with an attentive staff. When they say they offer enrichment, they genuinely mean it. We are extremely grateful for this business and every staff member there. They treat and love the dogs like they are their own and it shows in everything they do. The facility is also incredibly clean. We even take advantage of the puppy play hours, when we can, on Saturday mornings which are free and such a great bonus. You are getting so much more than a babysitter here. We feel very lucky to have found them and recommend them without hesitation.
Jamie is hands down the best. She is beyond patient with our puppy and so loving. Highly recommend!!
First time grooming our dog- very professional and loving to our pup.

What is the best way to train a dog?
After decades of experience, we know that reward-based training is the most humane and effective way to train dogs and address unwanted behaviors. With reward-based training, you can build a loving, trusting bond that enhances your relationship with your dog for a lifetime of happiness.
Positive reward-based techniques help puppies and dogs 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 include food treats, time to play with a favorite toy, or verbal praise.

Visit our Dog Blog for more helpful tips.
Can I purchase a single training session or do I have to buy a package?
Our Training Tutor and Enrichment services are available as add-ons to your dog’s day care visit, and while single sessions are available, packages are also offered for your convenience. Please note that prepaid packages are nonrefundable, and all sales are final. We recommend speaking with an associate to determine the best option for your dog’s training needs.
What do you do in the event of a scuffle between dogs?
Even with such a proactive approach to safety as described above, scuffles between dogs can and do happen from time to time. Although this is a rare occurrence, dogs are animals and don’t always talk about whose tennis ball it is. If a scuffle does occur, staff are trained to intervene immediately by making a loud noise and separating the dogs involved as quickly as possible. For most dogs enrolled in our program, this is enough to stop the situation. If needed, we are also equipped with squirt bottles and a hose. Any dog involved in a scuffle will receive a cursory body check and play break to calm down.
