Teach your dog:

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.

Why choose doggy day care for your dog?

There’s no bond like the one between our furry best friends and us. We love our dogs and want to give them the best life possible. But it can be challenging to fulfill all their needs to stay healthy and happy for a lifetime. Doggy day care gives pups a place to play and learn in a safe environment, with the socialization, mental stimulation, and physical exercise their minds and bodies need to stay healthy for a lifetime. 

  • Dogs get to socialize. Dogs are social creatures. Positive experiences with new humans, new dogs, and new environments are essential to a well-rounded pup.
  • Dogs learn social skills. Dogs learn from other dogs – they’re always teaching each other what is (and isn’t) appropriate social behavior. Doggy day care staff can also help support safe play and practice healthy social behaviors.
  • Dogs get more exercise. Exercise helps your dog maintain a healthy weight and muscle tone while improving their mood and providing a healthy outlet for their physical and mental energy, meaning they can be more relaxed at home.  
  • Dogs get human attention. Your dog will get the care and love they need while you’re at work or school.  
  • Parents get a break. Doggy day care can give you a day off from responsibilities, while your dog gets what they need to be a healthier, more well-adjusted pet.

What is the best way to train a dog?

After decades of experience, we know that reward-based training is the most humane and effective way to train dogs and address unwanted behaviors. With reward-based training, you can build a loving, trusting bond that enhances your relationship with your dog for a lifetime of happiness.

Positive reward-based techniques help puppies and dogs develop essential life skills and behaviors that will enrich their lives at home and day care. These methods set dogs up to succeed and reward them for performing desired behaviors. Rewards are tailored to the dog’s preferences and include food treats, time to play with a favorite toy, or verbal praise.
