Dog Tricks Taught at Central Bark Franklin
Central Bark Franklin provides tailored dog training programs that cater to the individual needs of each dog. Our training services encompass a broad range of skills and behaviors that can benefit your dog’s life, such as:
- Name recall: This skill is crucial for any dog owner. Our trainers use positive reinforcement techniques to teach dogs to come when called, even in distracting environments.
- Basic commands: Dogs should know essential commands like sit, stay, down, wait, and leave-it. Positive reinforcement techniques are used to teach these essential skills, which can improve your dog’s behavior and make them easier to manage.
- Door and gate control: Teaching dogs to wait patiently at doors and gates can prevent them from running out into unsafe areas. Our trainers can teach dogs to enter and depart on cue while waiting peacefully at gates and doors.
- Loose-leash walking: Trainers can help teach dogs to walk calmly on a loose leash, making walks more enjoyable for both the owner and the dog. This skill can prevent dogs from tugging on the leash, which can be annoying and hazardous.
- Other behaviors: Our trainers can also work with the owner and dog on other behaviors or issues, such as separation anxiety, barking, or destructive chewing. We are committed to helping your dog be the best they can be.

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.

It’s also important to consider how much time each family has for daily training practice.
