Walter LOVES Central Bark Franklin. He always comes home after being well exercised and stimulated, ready for a short nap.
She came home happy and tiered. I wish they had video feed so we could check in on Maggie Mae at play time.
I’ve been taking Louie to Central Bark Franklin for over four years. I love the location, facilities and the staff is very nice and great with the dogs. Louie is excited to go and comes home tired. I appreciate their flexibility in scheduling. He’s a bit of a nervous dog but does very well here!
Plenty of staff. Staff LOVES dogs. Clean and friendly.
My dog loves going here he has so much fun and always gets excited when he’s dropped off and happy when I pick him up. The staff is very nice and friendly and I’m glad he found a comfortable safe place to play.
I have been bringing my oldest dog (3.5y/o) to Central Bark since December 2024 and now my youngest dog (7mo) also comes to daycare on a weekly basis. Both are Belgian Malinois/GSD Mixes, and certainly a lot of energy/unique personalities, and CB handles them with such great care. ALL of the handlers are great – I really feel that they care deeply about all of the dogs, and sometimes I think that my dogs are their favorites! But honestly I think that’s just how they make all owners feel.🙃
Ailey is so attentive and takes extra care to make sure each dog has its own great experience, unique to its personality and needs. To be able to walk in and have my dog greeted by name every single day is such a great feeling. They also post pictures of all of the pups every day on their Facebook page. It’s the highlight of my workday checking for the post and looking at how happy my dogs are that day (I call it “puppy time!”).
Dog Grooming is also a godsend that I can drop my dog off and kill two birds with one stone. First, my oldest used to need to go to the vet to get his nails trimmed. The girls at CB have such a good rapport with him, though, that THEY can trim his nails! The groomer is also very good. Whatever shampoo they use smells SO good, and I don’t bring home my pups smelling like wet dog. How awesome is it that I no longer have to schedule separate visits at other locations for these services.
All in all, I highly recommend anyone with a pup, no matter breed or age, bring them into Central Bark. Your dog will get so much fulfillment! Don’t believe me? Looks at how happy my dogs are while at Daycare.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.

What is dog boarding?
Dog boarding gives your dog a safe and comfortable place to spend the night when they can’t be home overnight. It can last for just one night or for a week or more at a time.
At Central Bark®, we offer Sleepovers to dogs enrolled in our Enrichment Day Care Program. Sleepovers at Central Bark® provide your dog a calm, relaxing sleepover in a place they can feel comfortable and loved. Because they’re in a familiar place, they can feel less stressed about being away from home (and so will you). A full day of Doggy Day Care is included with your sleepover stay.
Our Stay-n-Play program (available at participating locations) offers boarding for dogs that have not enrolled in our day care program. Each overnight guest gets a restful night’s sleep, followed by a day of play, exercise, and plenty of TLC from our staff. Stay-n-Play guests sleep and play in their own designated areas.
What is the best puppy food?
Puppies have unique nutritional needs that require specially formulated food to keep them healthy and happy as they grow. The best food for your puppy will depend on their dietary needs, breed, and personal preferences.
Every item in our Central Bark® Market is specially selected to enhance your puppy’s physical health and nutrition, and provide enrichment, happiness, and comfort. We can help you choose from our selection of healthy and nutritious food to help your puppy develop so they can enjoy a long and happy life with your family.

How do you train a dog?
No matter how long you’ve had your dog, it’s possible to teach them new skills and tricks.
Whether you’re crate training, leash walking, or potty training your dog, consistency is key. It’s crucial to establish a routine, practice positive reinforcement, supervise your dog (especially when potty training), and avoid punishing when mistakes happen.
Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you train your dog. We offer expert training and classes so you and your puppy can learn and bond together.
