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.

I also really like the retail space here, and the services they offer. I’ve been able to get Ace’s nails trimmed here a few times before pickup which I really appreciate- and they’re the only ones who have been able to do it without him getting nervous!
I appreciate Central Bark Franklin and all that you guys do! Thank you Central Bark team!
