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.

His tail was not groomed at all, even though it was specifically requested.
His nails weren’t trimmed as they claimed to be.
Furthermore, when I called to speak to a manager to investigate what happened while my dog was in the care of the team at Central Bark Kenosha, he was rude and unprofessional. And when I said such, and gave my concerns, the response I got, very aggressively, was “Well I’m having a bad day”.
You’re the manager of a whole team, that deals with dogs and their owners. I get bad days, but you absolutely DO NOT get to take it out on your clients that are calling with legit concerns! I was then hung up on.
When I called back to attempt to get confirmation of my refund, I was give short, rude, unprofessional responses by another staff member (the manager refused to take the call and actually handle the situation)
I then received a call, from Mark Dandrea, defending the manager and the events, and telling me that I was handling the situation wrong. His demeanor was the same as the manager I spoke with, careless about his customers.
or away from us in years. We were going on vacation and Central Bark was highly recommended. I was worried like a crazy dog mom yet I saw photos and got messages that she was loving being with other dogs doing well. Thank you to Central Bark for taking care of our girl, posting 100+ photos everyday and being in communication while we were away. Central Bark is highly recommended!
Also thanks to the staff, especially Jason, and owner Mark who called me to make sure we were all set for Aussie’s sleepovers before we left on vacation. That’s great service and peace of mind.

For dogs, being comfortable in a crate is a life skill that is incredibly useful for them and their owners. If you have ever traveled with your dog or had the unfortunate experience of an overnight stay at the vet, knowing your dog is comfortable in a crate is immeasurably comforting.
Crate training can take just days or a few months, based on your dog’s age, temperament, and past experiences with crates. The two keys to successful crate training are to keep the experience positive and go slowly.
When your puppy is not in their crate, keep the door open and reward them every time they choose to enter, even if you didn’t ask them to enter it. When crating your puppy, give them a safe enrichment item (like a stuffed Kong) that will keep them busy and allow them to self-soothe while confined. Remember that crate training should take place in a series of small, slow steps that will help your puppy become more comfortable.
