I have been bringing my dogs to central bark for close to a decade! (Some aged out and are now 15 and napping on my couch all day lol) I am a rescue dog owner and have had many timid or sensitive pups, and the staff have ALWAYS been extremely diligent in making sure they were well taken care of and appropriately paired into the right play groups. I have always gotten calls or texts if they want to clarify anything regarding diet and scheduling, and complete transparency with how my dogs behave when there. I feel as though they are proactive in preventing overstimulation and give proper rest and breaks in the Florida heat, and my George always comes home non stressed and happy and (most importantly) tired. Definitely recommend and have had nothing but positive experiences going here!

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.

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”.

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

How much does it cost to board a dog?

Boarding service pricing may vary by service and location, as well as the length of stay.

Learn more about Sleepovers at Central Bark.

How are staff trained and what behavior management tools do they use in a playgroup?

Our staff is trained in dog body language and positive playgroup management techniques so they can respond proactively to help avoid issues between dogs. These tools include praise, treats, and work on important Group Play Skills daily like name recall, group sits, and going calmly in and out of doorways and gates. If a dog ever becomes overstimulated during play (just like kids do on the playground sometimes) we use these practiced skills to help redirect dogs into more desired behaviors (like coming to us and offering a sit for a treat) which gives the dog a chance to reset and calm down. When needed, we also utilize play breaks (a short rest in an individual crate) or in-group leash walks if a dog needs a little more help to bring their energy levels back down.

What should I bring when boarding my dog?

When your dog is spending the night at Central Bark®, you should make sure all required forms, including proof of vaccination, are uploaded to your online account. You can bring in copies to your scheduled sleepover. Also, bring a collar and leash, food, medication, and any comforts from home (optional).
