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!
I love dropping my 10 month old rescue puppy at Central Bark everyday! I know he gets rest, play and attention, and he comes home happy and tired! I especially love tye weekly daycare report!
We have only taken our dog in one time to be assessed. The staff was friendly and answered our questions..we are hoping for her to learn to socialize with other dogs and be comfortable being away from us..
After a day at Central Bark Ryder, our pup, comes home exhausted. She gets to meet so many dogs (and people) of all sizes. When we pull up to Central Bark she runs through the door up the ramp she is so excited. 😆
Everybody is always on time,kind and polite…great place !
We have been with Central bark for a few years now. Our dog is always super excited to go there, I think she feels like they’re part of her family. We always trust them and like their system of playing and resting built-in. I also like that they keep their groups small so there are not too many dogs together at one time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Happens if My Dog Gets Into a Disagreement With Another Dog?
Our top priority is the safety of every dog in our care. Our staff members are not only highly trained but also “fluent in dog speak,” which means they can read canine body language and behavior cues. Our rigorous dog day care safety protocols use a science-based positive reinforcement approach to constantly monitor and manage play. We believe in proactive and preventative care, working to de-escalate potential issues before they start, which is a key part of how dog day care handles disagreements and maintains a secure environment for all dogs.
What are One-on-One Enrichment sessions?
Our One-on-One Enrichment sessions give your dog the freedom to safely explore their senses with an Enrichment Specialist. They’ll get the personal attention they love, supplemented with interactive toys, puzzles, and games that exercise their bodies and minds. They can also level up their skills with fitness training and agility exercises if they’re ready for more.
Did you know? 15 minutes of mental activity is equal to 30 minutes of physical exercise!
Does the center maintain the same policy for sleepovers?
Central Bark® reserves sleepover services exclusively for dogs accepted into the daycare programs, so the same policies do apply.
What is dog day care?
Dog day care gives dogs a fun place to play with their friends while their owners are busy at home and work.
At Central Bark®, doggy daycare is our specialty, and nobody does it quite like us. We don’t just give dogs a place to play. We create a personalized program of activities that optimize your dog’s whole health – their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Central Bark goes beyond a traditional doggy day care with our unique Whole Dog Care philosophy. Our personalized approach helps enrich your dog’s whole health and well-being throughout their entire life so you can enjoy a healthy, happy, and loving life together.
The heart of our whole dog care approach is our Enrichment Doggy Day Care program. We combine Central Bark’s industry-leading doggy day care expertise with the latest dog behavior science. Our mission is to give dogs a balanced blend of exercise, social group play, learning, rest, and TLC. To help your dog be a healthy, happy, calm, and well-rounded member of your family.
