Call NowDog Tricks Taught at Central Bark Oak Creek
Central Bark Oak Creek provides tailored dog training programs to address the specific needs of every dog. Our dog training services cover a wide range of skills and behaviors, such as:
- Name recall – This crucial skill is taught through positive reinforcement to ensure that dogs come when called, even in distracting environments.
- Basic commands – Dogs should know basic commands such as sit, stay, down, wait, and leave it. Our trainers use positive reinforcement techniques to teach these essential skills, which can help improve your dog’s behavior and make them easier to manage.
- Door and gate control – Teaching dogs to wait patiently at doors and gates can prevent them from running out into unsafe areas. Our trainers can teach dogs to enter and exit on cue while waiting peacefully at gates and doors.
- Loose-leash walking – Dogs that pull on the leash can be frustrating and even dangerous. Our trainers can help teach dogs to walk calmly on a loose leash, making walks more enjoyable for both the owner and the dog.
- Other behaviors – Our trainers can work with the owner and dog on other behaviors or issues such as separation anxiety, barking, or destructive chewing. Our personalized approach can address the specific needs of each dog and owner, ensuring that both are happy and satisfied with the training results.
Oak Creek Dog Training & Enrichment Options:
Training Tutor
Personalized one-on-one training sessions during daycare visits that focus on developing skills and behaviors like name recall, sit, stay, down, wait, leave-it, door and gate control, and loose-leash walking. This option is convenient for pet owners and helps dogs become well-behaved members of their families. Your dog will come home tired and well-socialized, with the training and skills they need.
One-on-One Enrichment
Personalized one-on-one enrichment sessions give your dog the extra attention they crave and the freedom to explore their instincts through interactive toys, puzzles, and games. These sessions are fun, rewarding, and help exercise your dog’s body and mind while engaging their senses. You can even add complexity to the sessions with fitness and agility equipment.
Rest Period Enrichment
Your dog can relax and recharge in their own private space with calming interactive toys and healthy food pairings tailored to their preferences and diet. This option promotes physical and mental relaxation, helps achieve a healthy balance of play, learning, and rest, and can even help your dog become more comfortable in crates by building positive associations.

Frequently Asked Questions
With a variety of training solutions available, training costs depend upon what kind of training you and your dog need.
Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you train your new puppy or older dog. Including group classes and Training Tutor sessions that can take place during day care. Our expert training and classes help you, and your dog learn and bond together.
For dogs, being comfortable in a crate is a life skill that is incredibly useful for them and their owners. If you have ever traveled with your dog or had the unfortunate experience of an overnight stay at the vet, knowing your dog is comfortable in a crate is immeasurably comforting.
Crate training can take just days or a few months, based on your dog’s age, temperament, and past experiences with crates. The two keys to successful crate training are to keep the experience positive and go slowly.
When your puppy is not in their crate, keep the door open and reward them every time they choose to enter, even if you didn’t ask them to enter it. When crating your puppy, give them a safe enrichment item (like a stuffed Kong) that will keep them busy and allow them to self-soothe while confined. Remember that crate training should take place in a series of small, slow steps that will help your puppy become more comfortable.
Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you care for your new puppy. Our Enrichment Day Care gives puppies all the socialization, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest they need for a lifetime of happiness with you and your family. We also offer expert training and classes so you and your puppy can learn and bond together.
