About Central Bark Henrietta
Hi, I’m Phil Clark!
Before opening Central Bark Henrietta, I spent 14 years at Microsoft, where I developed a passion for building great systems and using technology to help people make better decisions. Today, I bring that same mindset to dog care by creating thoughtful processes, supporting an incredible team, and continually looking for ways to improve the experience for every dog and every family we serve.
Central Bark is a true family business. I have the opportunity to build it alongside my parents, while my children, Caden and Emmy, inspire the future we’re creating. Our own dog, Penny, is growing up at Central Bark too. She follows the same evaluations, playgroups, routines, and standards as every dog in our care because I’ve always believed that if something isn’t good enough for my own dog, it shouldn’t be good enough for yours.
Our mission is simple: provide exceptional care, build lasting relationships with families, and create a place where dogs are safe, happy, and excited to come back. We’re always learning, improving, and investing in our people, our facility, and the dogs who trust us every day.
If you’d like to learn more about our story and what makes Central Bark different, we’d love to welcome you in for a tour.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Central Bark groomers do not sedate dogs or make decisions about sedative or anti-anxiety medications. If your dog experiences significant stress or anxiety during grooming, talk with your veterinarian about the best approach for your dog and let your Central Bark grooming team know about any medications or special needs before scheduling or arriving for an appointment.
Dog training costs vary by location, training format, and your dog’s individual goals and needs. Contact your local Central Bark or review its available training services online for current options and pricing.
Central Bark offers positive reward-based dog training options designed to help dogs build practical skills, strengthen communication, and learn behaviors that support everyday life. Depending on your Central Bark location, training options may include Training Tutor sessions during day care and boarding, group training classes, and other training programs for puppies and adult dogs. Because training services vary by location, contact your local Central Bark or visit its website to explore available options and find the right training experience for you and your dog.
Central Bark’s Enrichment Day Care program has a minimum commitment of one visit per week. Regular attendance helps dogs build familiarity with the environment, people, other dogs, and routine, which supports comfort and safety. Beyond that weekly minimum, the right schedule depends on your dog’s age, energy level, personality, and individual needs.
