FREE Puppy Hour!
in Jacksonville
Start your pup on the right paw
At Central Bark, our mission is to nurture and enhance the lives of dogs, and what better way to achieve this than through puppy socialization? Positive interactions with new dogs, humans, and environments are vital for a puppy’s healthy social development.
These early experiences contribute to your dog’s comfort, confidence, and long-term emotional growth, laying a solid foundation for a healthy, joyful, and socially adept canine companion.
Puppy Hour is a complimentary play and socialization hour for puppies, conducted within our secure and supervised Central Bark facility. You and your puppy are welcome to join as many sessions as you’d like until your pup reaches the age limit. Please ensure you provide proof from your vet that your puppy is current on their Bordetella and DHPP vaccines.
Call (904) 730-1200 today to reserve your spot!

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.

At Central Bark a proactive approach to safety is woven right into the fabric of our program. That is why we require that all dogs enrolled in our Day Care program pass our behavior assessment and attend at least once per week. This helps us ensure that dogs are social with other dogs & people and remain comfortable with all aspects of our program. It also allows us to proactively staff so we can keep a dog to staff ratios low which also helps increase safety. Plus, play is ALWAYS monitored. Whether it’s a group of 2 dogs or 12 dogs, we never leave dogs unattended during group play.
Our staff is trained in dog body language and positive playgroup management techniques so they can respond proactively to help avoid issues between dogs. These tools include praise, treats, and work on important Group Play Skills daily like name recall, group sits, and going calmly in and out of doorways and gates. If a dog ever becomes overstimulated during play (just like kids do on the playground sometimes) we use these practiced skills to help redirect dogs into more desired behaviors (like coming to us and offering a sit for a treat) which gives the dog a chance to reset and calm down. When needed, we also utilize play breaks (a short rest in an individual crate) or in-group leash walks if a dog needs a little more help to bring their energy levels back down.
