Our pup adores this place!! She gets so excited to go every time and has the best time. The staff is super attentive and welcoming, and helped us navigate some growing pains with our teenager. We cannot express enough how great this is for our family and how grateful we are for Central Bark!
There is absolutely a reason why this place has five stars and let me tell you I will never take my dog to another place. We found ourselves in a very distressing situation and these lovely humans who work for this incredible doggy daycare took in our puppy and loved her as much as we do. We couldn’t be more thankful for the AMAZING staff who stepped in during one of our darkest hours and helped lighten the load on a very heavy situation. Forever grateful is an understatement. If you want your pup treated like family, this IS the place HAND DOWN!
Everybody is always on time,kind and polite…great place !
I LOVE this place! This is a one-stop shop for (most of) your dogs needs. Daycare, sleepovers, grooming, enrichment, training, as well as treats, toys and select food items are all available at Central Bark Eugene. The staff are kind, loving, and trustworthy. The facility is just what the dogs need. Central Bark Eugene is a second home for Nala. She started going to Central Park as a puppy. She trusts and loves the staff, and when she knows she is going to daycare or a sleepover, she can’t wait to go see her friends. When we have to go out of town, we can relax, knowing she is in trusted and safe hands. After a sleepover of a few days, I can schedule for her to have a bath so she is clean and smells great at pick up. 🙂 I only wish Nala was still a puppy so she could participate in Puppy Hour!
After rescuing my Charlie I knew I need some help with him socializing and a safe place to stay when I need to travel. Everyone at central bark has been soo great with Charlie and letting his personality and zoomies out! It’s so convenient to have grooming available when he is there!
My dog Lucky has been “lucky” to go to Central Bark since he was a young. He absolutely loves going and is very comfortable there. I have boarded him there numerous times and always feel he is safe and happy when I’m away.
I would highly recommend them for both a play day and boarding!

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Central Bark mentally stimulate a dog?
At Central Bark®, our goal is to provide a balanced day of play, learning, rest, and love. Learning and mental exercise can happen in various ways, including training activities, brain games, scent work, and more. Our playgroups offer several hours of active playtime paired with learning opportunities during Group Play Skills. This way, dogs have plenty of time to socialize and get their energy out, while also exercising their minds through learning.
During one of your dog’s rest periods throughout the day, they are offered a rest period enrichment activity to stimulate their mind while encouraging healthy rest. These licking and chewing activities involve food rewards, such as frozen peanut butter KONG®. These activities engage their minds while helping foster quality rest.Â
Did you know? Scientific studies have shown that licking and chewing behaviors (especially those that involve food rewards!) are self-soothing, decrease heart and respiratory rates, and even release dopamine in a dog’s brain.
Training Tutor sessions stimulate the dog’s minds and bodies and help them learn important skills, behaviors, and tricks.
One-on-One Enrichment sessions give the extra attention dogs love and the freedom to use their senses and safely explore their instincts through interactive toys, puzzles, and games.
Did you know? 15 minutes of mental activity is equal to 30 minutes of physical exercise!
What does a dog groomer do?
Our expert groomers always aim to help your dog feel as calm and relaxed as possible during bathing and grooming, making it an experience they can enjoy and look forward to.
At Central Bark, we offer a wide array of services customized to your dog, including:
- Dog baths
- Dog grooming
- Dog ear cleaning
- Dog teeth brushing
- Dog nail trims
- Dog deshed treatments
- Dog brush outs
- Dog gland expressions
- And more
Make a reservation for your dog’s grooming session
Is there a schedule of activities and safety rules?
Yes. Our day is broken up into areas of play, rest, feeding and more. And we always keep a watchful eye on canine good manners.
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.
