First time grooming our dog- very professional and loving to our pup.
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!!
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!

Our two boxers, Dani and Cooper, go to Central Bark in Broadview Heights once a week for enrichment day care. They absolutely love it. Every Wednesday morning, they know it is Central Bark day and wait by the door ready to leave. We have always joked that the team there treats Dani and Cooper better than we do.
A few weeks ago, we boarded them, and Central Bark showed us just how much they truly care. On a Saturday evening around 6:00 p.m., Emilie called to let us know that Dani was having serious GI issues and that they were concerned. She first asked if our emergency contact could come pick Dani up, but he was with us. A little later, Emilie called back and said Jennifer, the owner, was willing to come pick Dani up herself and take her to the MedVet ER clinic.
Long story short, Emilie and Jennifer identified and managed what could have become a life-ending situation. Jennifer stayed with Dani well into the early morning hours to make sure she was cared for and Emilie took care of her until we were able to get home on Sunday.
We are writing this review to say thank you, but also to let others know that Central Bark went far above and beyond. They did the right things, for the right reasons, when it mattered most.
Thank you to Emilie, Jennifer, and the entire Central Bark team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the facilities well equipped with toys, bedding, and supplies?
Central Bark® has plenty of Kongs®, tennis balls and other toys for everyone. The dogs could ask for nothing more!
What should I bring to Doggy Day Care?
Once you have enrolled, we will need a copy of your dog’s vaccination records, which you can upload to your online account or bring with you on your scheduled first day. We also ask that your dog comes in on a regular 6-foot flat leash (no retractable or flexi-leads in the lobby) and a quick-release collar. Not sure what a quick-release collar is? No problem! We’ll be happy to show you on your first day. If your dog usually wears a harness while walking, you’re welcome to bring that as well.
If your dog typically eats a midday meal, you can bring it in an airtight container clearly labeled with your dog’s first and last names.
How much does dog training cost?
With a variety of training solutions available, training costs depend upon what kind of training you and your dog need.
Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you train your new puppy or older dog. Including group classes and Training Tutor sessions that can take place during day care. Our expert training and classes help you, and your dog learn and bond together.
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.
