About Central Bark Eugene

Training Tutor sessions can help dogs practice practical life skills and behaviors based on their individual needs. These may include cues such as sit, stay, down, wait, and leave it, along with skills such as calm door and gate behavior, name recall, and loose-leash walking. Your Central Bark team can help identify appropriate goals for your dog.

For dogs attending day care, a midday meal is generally not necessary or recommended. Dogs receive treats and Rest Period Enrichments throughout the day at no additional charge. However, if your dog needs to follow a specific feeding schedule, such as eating three meals a day, our team can accommodate those needs. For boarding stays, dogs are fed according to the instructions provided by their pet parents. Be sure to share any feeding requirements, allergies, medications, or other special care needs with your local Central Bark team.

Central Bark’s Behavior Assessment process helps our team get to know your dog and evaluate factors such as comfort with people, social skills and play style with other dogs, response to different environments, and other behaviors relevant to their day care experience. This helps us make thoughtful decisions about how to support your dog’s comfort, safety, and success in the program.

Look for a dog groomer who helps you and your dog feel safe and comfortable, has experience with different breeds and coat types, communicates clearly about your dog’s needs, and uses a patient approach to the grooming process. A good groomer should also be prepared to work with dogs at different ages and comfort levels and discuss a plan when a dog is anxious or uncomfortable.
