Thank you Central Bark! Your team is awesome.
The staff genuinely cares about each dog and it shows in how they greet everyone with real enthusiasm every morning. Their Instagram shows all the really cool breeds with fun personalities of all types that go there, and being able to text them for quick updates throughout the day is so helpful.
Their extra services are great too – super helpful when you need a nail clipping or when Hazel’s feeling some spa time.
I have boarded them here numerous times and my pups always return happy and well-adjusted. The lovely staff at CB sends daily report cards, photos and videos during their stay. It is reassuring to know they are in great hands; they are provided engaging activities and loving care. The staff noticed my pup’s acrobatic talent in ball fetching and one sent me slow motion videos of him in action! So amazing, thanks everyone at Central Bark!
Kudos to CB’s dog groomer Elmer who makes the furry pom poms fresh and spiffy, decked out in cute scarves.

Small and large playgroup options allow us to match better your dog’s personality, needs, and preferences with the social atmosphere and amount of play they can enjoy and benefit from most.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
