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.

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.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start training my puppy?

Puppies begin learning from birth, and learning continues throughout their lives. For pet parents, training can start as soon as your puppy comes home with simple, age-appropriate skills and routines. Early training can focus on communication, positive reinforcement, household routines, social skills, and foundational cues. Central Bark also offers Puppy Hour, a free opportunity to help your puppy learn, socialize, and build positive early experiences while you connect with Central Bark professionals about your puppy’s needs.

How long does dog training take?

Dog training timelines vary because every dog, behavior, goal, and family routine is different. Consistent practice and positive reward-based training help dogs build new skills over time. Your local Central Bark training team can help set realistic expectations based on your dog’s needs and the training option you choose.

How are staff trained and what behavior management tools do they use in a playgroup?

Enrichment Specialists are trained to identify and interpret dog body language and help dogs practice safe social skills during play periods. They use positive reward-based techniques, including treats and Group Play Skills such as name recall, to reinforce desired behaviors, redirect dogs when needed, and help keep play safe and fun.

How much does it cost to board a dog?

Dog boarding prices vary by location, service, and length of stay. Contact your local Central Bark or explore its booking options to see available boarding services and current pricing.
