Boarding

Boarding

Central Bark dog boarding provides a safe, cozy home-away-from-home where your pup can rest comfortably while you’re away. Our team offers attentive, individualized care with plenty of enrichment, affection, and routine to help your dog feel secure. Each guest enjoys a clean, comfortable sleeping space, regular potty breaks, and caring supervision from people who know dogs well. Relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and cared for like one of our own.

Training

Training

Central Bark’s dog training helps to build confidence, manners, and lifelong skills using force-free, positive reinforcement methods. Our dog trainers offer classes for puppies and adults, from basic obedience to more advanced skills. Training can also be integrated into our dog day care for active learning, socialization, and mental enrichment. With individualized sessions and options during day care, pups learn through play, enrichment, and structure. The result? A calmer, happier dog with better habits at home.

Training

FREE Puppy Hour

It’s a fun, stress-free way to nurture a well-rounded, confident puppy — at no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if dog day care is right for my dog?

Dog day care can be a great fit for dogs who benefit from a structured routine that includes supervised play, enrichment, learning, rest, and social experiences. Every dog is different, so factors such as age, personality, energy level, play style, comfort around other dogs and people, and individual needs can help determine whether day care is the right fit. At Central Bark, we get to know each dog individually and use our enrollment and assessment process to help create an experience that supports their comfort, safety, and well-being.

How far in advance should I book dog boarding?

Booking as early as possible is recommended, especially for holidays, school breaks, weekends, and other busy travel periods. Availability varies by Central Bark location and by the type of boarding experience your dog needs. If you know your travel dates, contact your local Central Bark early so the team can confirm availability and any enrollment or pre-stay requirements.

How do I enroll in Central Bark dog day care?

Start by finding your local Central Bark and selecting Book Now. You can create or access your online account and follow the prompts to book your first service. Your local team will guide you through any required enrollment steps before your dog begins day care.

What is Stay-n-Play?

Stay-n-Play is a Central Bark boarding option for dogs that are not enrolled in Enrichment Day Care. Stay-n-Play guests receive an overnight stay along with daytime enrichment, exercise, fun, and care from our team in designated areas. Availability may vary by location.
