Only boarded with them once so far but it was a very positive experience. The weekend drop off/pickup hours are very convenient.
I am floored that Slater came home with all her nails trimmed! WHAT? No drugs required? It has been a stressful experience for the past 5 years, but you are making all the difference. Slater comes home not just with perfectly trimmed nails but let’s talk about how wonderful she smells after her grooming session! We are so grateful for the care and attention that the whole team provides at Central Bark in Durham!! I don’t wanna know your magic tricks, I am bringing my Pittie back!!
You all are truly awesome, and we can’t recommend you enough! Thank you for treating Slater like family! 🐾💖
Over the past 5 months, our dogs have used their daycare, training, grooming, and boarding services — all in one location, which is incredibly convenient. The staff are fantastic: professional, responsive to feedback, and they’ve genuinely gotten to know our dogs by name and personality.
Compared to everywhere else we’ve been over two decades, Central Bark Durham is better than most and on par with the very best. We’ve already sent several friends their way and will keep recommending them without hesitation.
Now, she goes twice a week, and she literally gets so excited when we pull up in the morning, it’s the best feeling knowing she loves being there. The staff are incredibly attentive and clearly care so much about the dogs.
One thing we especially appreciate is their communication. They send thoughtful text updates with photos from her playtime, making it easy to stay connected throughout the day. Scheduling is also super convenient over text, and they’re always quick to answer any questions we have.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a daycare that truly cares about your pup!

An essential characteristic of a dog groomer is someone who makes you and your dog feel safe and comfortable.
Other things to look for:
- Certifications – Groomers don’t need a license or certification to work. Still, these accreditations are often signs that the groomer has the necessary training and experience to care for your pup.
- Experience with different breeds – Look for a groomer with experience with a variety of breeds and coats and the standard haircut for your dog’s breed.
- Preparedness – A groomer should work with dogs of all ages and levels of experience with grooming. They should aim to help each dog feel as comfortable as possible with the grooming process. Suppose the dog or puppy becomes anxious or uncomfortable. In that case, the groomer should be able to suggest a plan for increasing their comfort over time with the use of a positive reward-based approach.

No. At Central Bark®, we never sedate dogs in our salon. Our expert groomers always aim to help your dog feel as calm and relaxed as possible during their bathing and grooming experience.
Suppose your dog has shown extreme stress or anxiety toward grooming in the past. In that case, we suggest speaking with a trusted veterinarian and one of our reward-based trainers about how we can best support your dog.
