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!

Very happy with the grooming service my dog gets at Central Bark. Miguel is a great groomer! My dog always looks great after her visit and he has been the best I’ve found in Oakland Park for a long hair groom. In the past, my dog would “pitch a fit” when I would leave her. Miguel is so gentle and in control. That energy must transfer to the dogs because she calms down really quickly when he starts petting and talking to her. I am beyond satisfied with the grooming services at Central Bark. Every visit I’ve had at Central Bark has always been a good experience. The staff is friendly and helpful. It is a neighborhood gem for certain!

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💙

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I stay with my dog at the groomers?

You do not need to stay with your dog during their grooming appointment. Our expert groomers always aim to help your dog feel as calm and relaxed as possible during their bathing and grooming experience. If your pup is feeling a little unsure, ask our training team about ways to enrich their experience and help create positive associations by using positive reward-based training methods.

What is the best way to train a dog?

After decades of experience, we know that reward-based training is the most humane and effective way to train dogs and address unwanted behaviors. With reward-based training, you can build a loving, trusting bond that enhances your relationship with your dog for a lifetime of happiness.

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 include food treats, time to play with a favorite toy, or verbal praise.

What should I bring to Doggy Day Care?

Once you have enrolled, we will need a copy of your dog’s vaccination records, which you can upload to your online account or bring with you on your scheduled first day. We also ask that your dog comes in on a regular 6-foot flat leash (no retractable or flexi-leads in the lobby) and a quick-release collar. Not sure what a quick-release collar is? No problem! We’ll be happy to show you on your first day. If your dog usually wears a harness while walking, you’re welcome to bring that as well.

If your dog typically eats a midday meal, you can bring it in an airtight container clearly labeled with your dog’s first and last names.

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.
