About Central Bark Henrietta
Phil Clark and family are the proud new owners of Central Bark Henrietta, conveniently located off Jefferson Road near the post office, just 3 miles west of the Schottland YMCA.
After years of working in IT Services sales for one of the largest software providers in the world, Phil was looking for a way to give back to the local community with his career. Thinking back on his passions, he realized he would love to have a job where caring for dogs was central to what he did. Phil Sr., the retired CEO of a large, local architecture and engineering firm, and Phil Jr. have always dreamed about ways to own and operate a family business together. Combining a passion for dogs and business, the Clark family – Phil Jr, Lindsay, Phil Sr, and Vendy, – decided to take a leap and open a business that centers their love of our best pup friends. Bringing together their love of dogs and their love of family, the Clark Family looks forward to exceeding your and your pet’s expectations for dog care!
At Central Bark Henrietta, pets are family, and family deserves personalized pet care and exceptional customer service. We look forward to the opportunity to care for your pets as they would be cared for at home!
“We welcome you to join our Central Bark family.”

Frequently Asked Questions
After decades of experience, we know that reward-based training is the most humane and effective way to train dogs and address unwanted behaviors. With reward-based training, you can build a loving, trusting bond that enhances your relationship with your dog for a lifetime of happiness.
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 include food treats, time to play with a favorite toy, or verbal praise.
