At Central Bark, we’re devoted to enriching your dog’s life through our comprehensive services. Here are the primary areas we focus on:
- Recall Training: Ensuring your dog responds when called is crucial for their safety. Our trainers employ positive reinforcement techniques to teach this vital skill.
- Basic Commands: We instruct dogs in fundamental commands such as sit, stay, down, wait, and leave-it using positive reinforcement methods. Mastering these commands enhances their behavior and makes them easier to manage.
- Door and Gate Manners: Learning to wait patiently at doors and gates is essential for dogs. Our trainers can instruct your dog how to enter and exit calmly upon command, while also waiting politely at doors and gates.

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

Is 5 months too old to train a puppy?
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.

How long does it take to potty train a puppy?
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.
