Welcome to Central Bark® Kenosha
The special connection we have with our furry best friends is special. That’s why we want to give them the best life possible. Yet, it can be hard to meet all their needs on our own. Families trust Central Bark to take care of their doggies.
At Central Bark Kenosha, we love dogs and provide them with the love and care they need to stay healthy, happy, and well-rounded. When you bring your dog to Central Bark Kenosha, you can feel confident knowing they’ll have a fantastic time.
Our approach, called Whole Dog Care, focuses on nurturing and enriching your dog’s overall health and well-being throughout their life. The heart of this approach is our Enrichment Dog Day Care program. We also offer services like dog boarding, baths, grooming, training, and more. Our mission is to help you and your dog enjoy the best life together.
We understand that dogs are not just pets; they are part of the family. As fellow dog parents, we take great pride in treating each and every dog as if they were our own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Boarding service pricing may vary by service and location, as well as the length of stay.
An essential characteristic of a dog groomer is someone who makes you and your dog feel safe and comfortable.
Other things to look for:
- Certifications – Groomers don’t need a license or certification to work. Still, these accreditations are often signs that the groomer has the necessary training and experience to care for your pup.
- Experience with different breeds – Look for a groomer with experience with a variety of breeds and coats and the standard haircut for your dog’s breed.
- Preparedness – A groomer should work with dogs of all ages and levels of experience with grooming. They should aim to help each dog feel as comfortable as possible with the grooming process. Suppose the dog or puppy becomes anxious or uncomfortable. In that case, the groomer should be able to suggest a plan for increasing their comfort over time with the use of a positive reward-based approach.

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.
Dogs nap quietly in their individual crates in the Nap Room, complete with classical music and aromatherapy.
