About Central Bark Brookfield

Jessica Whitney’s true passion has always been her rescue dogs. Jessica was one of the first customers at the Central Bark – Wauwatosa location over 15 years ago. She proudly adopted one of Central Bark’s first foster dogs named Benny. Shortly after purchasing the Central Bark-Brookfield location, she decided she wanted to give back to the dog community that had given her such love and joy.

There are pivotal moments in our lives that open our eyes to both the beauty and the tragedy of our world. In 2017, a pivotal moment prompted her to act to make a difference.

After the devastation of Hurricane Harvey in Houston, she was compelled to do something. Her love for dogs drives almost every action in her life. The shelters in Houston were struggling because so many animals were injured or displaced due to the storm. So, she collected supplies and raised some money, and her and a partner made the long trek to Houston, arriving ready and eager to help. This experience touched Jessica in such a way that she decided to form her own dog rescue to continue to give back to the community.

What is dog boarding?

Dog boarding gives your dog a safe and comfortable place to spend the night when they can’t be home overnight. It can last for just one night or for a week or more at a time.

At Central Bark®, we offer Sleepovers to dogs enrolled in our Enrichment Day Care Program. Sleepovers at Central Bark® provide your dog a calm, relaxing sleepover in a place they can feel comfortable and loved. Because they’re in a familiar place, they can feel less stressed about being away from home (and so will you). A full day of Doggy Day Care is included with your sleepover stay.

Our Stay-n-Play program (available at participating locations) offers boarding for dogs that have not enrolled in our day care program. Each overnight guest gets a restful night’s sleep, followed by a day of play, exercise, and plenty of TLC from our staff. Stay-n-Play guests sleep and play in their own designated areas.

How do you train a puppy?

Whether you’re crate training, leash walking, or potty training your pup, consistency is key. It’s crucial to establish a routine, practice positive reinforcement, supervise your puppy (especially when potty training), and avoid punishing your puppy when mistakes happen. 

Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you train your puppy. We offer expert training and classes so you and your puppy can learn and bond together.
