Central Bark is here to help you improve your dog’s life with our services. Here are the important things we focus on:
- Name Recall: It’s crucial for your dog to come when you call their name. Our trainers use positive reinforcement to teach this skill, ensuring your dog’s safety.
- Basic Commands: We teach dogs essential commands like sit, stay, down, wait, and leave-it. Through positive reinforcement, we help dogs master these commands, improving their behavior and making them easier to handle.
- Door and Gate Control: Dogs need to learn to wait patiently at doors and gates. Our trainers can teach your dog how to enter and exit calmly on command, while also waiting politely at doors and gates.
- Loose-Leash Walking: We believe walks should be enjoyable for both you and your dog. Our trainers can help teach your dog to walk calmly on a loose leash, eliminating pulling and making walks more pleasant.
- Additional Behaviors: We can also help with other issues like separation anxiety, excessive barking, or destructive chewing. Our dedicated trainers are committed to helping your dog reach their full potential and be the best they can be.

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

When 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.
Potty training a puppy to eliminate outside can take just a few weeks or several months. But it will go more quickly if your training routine is consistent, and you’re consistent about taking your puppy outside every few hours.

As part of joining the Central Bark® family, our expert staff conducts a thorough behavior assessment at your local Central Bark store. These assessments help ensure that your dog is placed with a playgroup they’re comfortable with so they can play safely every day they’re with us.
This four-day evaluation, while your dog participates in our Enrichment Day Care, assesses your dog’s:
- Comfort and social skills with people
- Social skills and playstyle with other dogs to help determine the playgroup and play schedule they can benefit from the most
- Comfort in both indoor and outdoor play spaces
- Comfort in rest areas and a crate
- Ability to share resources like water and toys in social settings
- Level of comfort taking treats in social settings
This process gives us a chance to get to know you and your dog while your dog gets acquainted with their new favorite place away from home. Through the entire four days, your dog’s comfort and safety is our top priority.
Once your pup passes all the behavior assessment elements, you are welcome to sign up for any of our daycare services or a sleepover!
To schedule a Behavior Assessment for your dog, please contact your local store.
NOTE: Please bring all required signed forms, vaccination proof, and a collar and leash for your behavior assessment.
Not at all! It’s never too early or too late to begin building positive associations and using reward-based methods to teach your puppy new skills and behaviors.
Establish a training schedule now to help your puppy learn desired behaviors like walking nicely on a leash and basic cues like sit, stay, and loose-leash walking. Practicing these skills at home is critical, but it’s always a good idea to enlist the help of a professional to get a jump start teaching your puppy all the things you want them to know and set them up for success! Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you train your dog, including expert training and classes, so you and your puppy can learn and bond together.
