Central Bark offers customized dog training programs tailored to meet the unique needs of each dog. Our comprehensive training services encompass a wide range of skills and behaviors, including:
- Name Recall: This fundamental skill is essential for every dog owner. Using positive reinforcement techniques, we teach dogs to come when called, even in distracting environments.
- Basic Commands: Dogs should be familiar with basic commands such as sit, stay, down, wait, and leave-it. Through positive reinforcement, we instill these essential skills, leading to improved behavior and easier management of your dog.
- Door and Gate Control: Teaching dogs to wait patiently at doors and gates helps prevent them from rushing into unsafe areas. Our trainers can guide dogs to enter and exit on command while maintaining a peaceful wait at gates and doors.
- Loose-Leash Walking: Dogs that constantly pull on the leash can be both frustrating and potentially dangerous. Our trainers can help teach dogs to walk calmly on a loose leash, creating a more enjoyable walking experience for both the owner and the dog.
- Other Behaviors: Our skilled trainers are equipped to address various behaviors or issues such as separation anxiety, excessive barking, or destructive chewing. Working alongside you and your dog, we provide guidance and strategies to address these specific concerns.
With Central Bark’s customized training programs, you can expect positive and effective results, fostering a well-behaved and harmonious relationship between you and your furry companion.

Beth K. Frequently Asked Questions
Dog day care gives dogs a fun place to play with their friends while their owners are busy at home and work.
At Central Bark®, doggy daycare is our specialty, and nobody does it quite like us. We don’t just give dogs a place to play. We create a personalized program of activities that optimize your dog’s whole health – their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Central Bark goes beyond a traditional doggy day care with our unique Whole Dog Care philosophy. Our personalized approach helps enrich your dog’s whole health and well-being throughout their entire life so you can enjoy a healthy, happy, and loving life together.
The heart of our whole dog care approach is our Enrichment Doggy Day Care program. We combine Central Bark’s industry-leading doggy day care expertise with the latest dog behavior science. Our mission is to give dogs a balanced blend of exercise, social group play, learning, rest, and TLC. To help your dog be a healthy, happy, calm, and well-rounded member of your family.
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.
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 puppy. We offer expert training and classes so you and your puppy can learn and bond together.

We use positive reward-based techniques to help puppies and dogs of all ages develop essential life skills and behaviors that will enrich their lives at home and day care.
