At Central Bark Manitowoc, we know how special the bond is between humans and their dogs. We want to give them the best life possible, but we also know it can be challenging.

That’s why families trust Central Bark® Manitowoc to take care of their dogs. We want them to be healthy, happy, and well in every way. When your dog is with us, they’ll have an amazing day with their furry friends in a safe and loving place.

We use a Whole Dog Care approach that covers everything your dog needs throughout their life. Our Enrichment Dog Day Care program focuses on giving them mental and physical exercise. We also offer boarding, grooming, supplies, training, and more. The aim is to help you and your dog live the best life together.

We understand that dogs are not just “like” family; they are family. As fellow dog parents, we treat every dog as if they were our own. And we take pride in that.

Enrichment Dog Day Care

Enrichment Dog Day Care

Central Bark’s Enrichment Dog Day Care offers more than playtime — it nurtures your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. With small playgroups based on size, temperament, and playstyle, we create a safe, structured environment where dogs build confidence, learn good manners, and enjoy healthy socialization. Our enrichment activities, routine schedules, and trained enrichment specialists provide positive interaction, exercise, and rest so your dog goes home happy, tired, and fulfilled.

Central Bark’s dog grooming salon and spa keeps your pup looking and feeling their best with personalized care. Our experienced groomers use positive handling techniques and premium products tailored to your dog’s breed, size, and comfort needs. From baths and blowouts to nail trims, teeth brushing, deshedding, and specialty add-ons, we strive to create a stress-free, comfortable grooming experience. Add a spa day to your dog day care or boarding for a fresh, clean pup at pick up.

Boarding

Boarding

Central Bark dog boarding provides a safe, cozy home-away-from-home where your pup can rest comfortably while you’re away. Our team offers attentive, individualized care with plenty of enrichment, affection, and routine to help your dog feel secure. Each guest enjoys a clean, comfortable sleeping space, regular potty breaks, and caring supervision from people who know dogs well. Relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and cared for like one of our own.

Boarding

Training

Training

Central Bark’s dog training helps to build confidence, manners, and lifelong skills using force-free, positive reinforcement methods. Our dog trainers offer classes for puppies and adults, from basic obedience to more advanced skills. Training can also be integrated into our dog day care for active learning, socialization, and mental enrichment. With individualized sessions and options during day care, pups learn through play, enrichment, and structure. The result? A calmer, happier dog with better habits at home.

Training

FREE Puppy Hour

FREE Puppy Hour

Central Bark’s Free Puppy Hour starts your puppy’s socialization the right way. This safe, supervised play session helps puppies build confidence, social skills, and healthy play habits during their most important developmental stage (8-16 weeks). Guided by trained enrichment specialists, puppies explore new sights, sounds, and friends while burning energy and learning healthy habits. Pet parents also get expert training tips and support. It’s a fun, stress-free way to nurture a well-rounded, confident puppy — at no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does dog training take?

The timeline for learning new behaviors and skills is as unique as every dog! Because each dog is an individual, with different learning histories, breed genetics, and preferences in reinforcers like treats and toys, there is no way to say for sure how long training will take. It’s also important to consider how much time each family has for daily training practice.

Whether you’re crate training, leash walking, or potty training your pup, consistency is key. It’s crucial to establish a routine, practice positive reinforcement, supervise your puppy (especially when potty training), and avoid punishing your puppy when mistakes happen. 

Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you train your dog, with expert training and classes so you and your pup can learn and bond together.

Do I need to bring bedding, toys, or treats for my dog?

Nope! We got you covered! Most dogs will not need any bedding for a single day of day care. If your dog is boarding with us, see our Sleepover Guidelines. As far as treats and toys, we have plenty! Please ask about which toy and treat products are available.

Does the center maintain the same policy for sleepovers?

Central Bark® reserves sleepover services exclusively for dogs accepted into the daycare programs, so the same policies do apply.

How do you train a dog?

No matter how long you’ve had your dog, it’s possible to teach them new skills and tricks. 

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.
