I hosted my pup’s first birthday party at Central Bark. From the time I called to inquire about the event up until the party day, the staff was amazing! So friendly, professional and helpful. Tristen answered all of my questions and accommodated all of my wishes for my pup’s special day. On the day of the party, Jack was the staff member assigned to assist me. Jack was amazing and set us up to have the most amazing party. The party space has an inside private section AND an outside private play area! I can’t thank Central Bark enough for making my vision of a puppy party a reality. My friends were skeptical about a puppy party, but they and their pups had sooo much fun!

We have taken our dogs to Central Bark for over 5 years. It is their second home and Tristen, Mary, Andrew, Amber, Miguel & Co their second family. The facilities are modern and clean. Grooming services are wonderful! And they always find a way to work dogs in when we have an emergency. The dogs practically pull me through the doors, they are so happy to be there. Then they come back home and sleep like champs, tuckered out from playing all day. Plus, they post the cutest pictures on Instagram so I can see their “day at dog school”.

Miguel is THE MOST loving and caring groomer I’ve ever had. He treats my dog with the utmost care and love and he never rushes the process. You can telling he loves dogs by the way he talks to them and cares for them. I always feel so comfortable leaving my doggie with him and she always looks so beautiful and smells delicious when I pick her up!

From the moment you park, you can feel Central Bark Fort Lauderdale’s love for dog! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and caring. Central Bark staff send photos and videos of my dog playing throughout the day. When my dog fell off lol, they checked up on the both of us. I completely trust that they love and care for my dog the way I would. Tristen, Amber, Thomas and the whole team are amazing! I’m glad we switched to Central Bark.

My dog Louie has been going to Central Bark since he was old enough, about 16 weeks or so. He LOVES going, comes home completely wiped from playing with friends all day. The staff are incredible and super communicative. I trust them with my little guy💙

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

What is positive reward-based dog training?

Positive reward-based techniques help puppies and dogs develop essential life skills and behaviors that will enrich their lives at home and day care. These methods set dogs up to succeed and reward them for performing desired behaviors. Rewards are tailored to the dog’s preferences and can include food treats, time to play with a favorite toy, or verbal praise. 

After decades of experience using reward-based training, we know it’s the most humane and effective way of training dogs and addressing unwanted behaviors. It’s the best way to build a loving, trusting bond that enhances your relationship between you and your dog for a lifetime of happiness together.

At Central Bark®, our focus on positive reinforcement has never wavered. We continuously update our skills and policies to stay at the forefront of new advances in behavioral science and positive reinforcement techniques.

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.

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!
