Torque was extremely nervous at drop-off, which always makes me nervous as an owner, but Rawley was so patient, calm, and understanding with him. By the time I picked him up, he was a completely different dog—happy, comfortable, and relaxed. He even gave Rawley a kiss goodbye, which says everything about the trust and bond Rawley was able to build with him.
He didn’t just look good, he felt good, and that means the world to me. It’s clear that Rawley truly cares about the dogs he works with and treats them with kindness and respect, especially those who may be nervous.
We will absolutely be requesting Rawley for all future grooms and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a groomer who goes above and beyond—not just in appearance, but in the overall experience. 🐾🎄✨
The owners and staff were truly amazing! Very welcoming, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior. They carefully supervised the different size and play groups, making sure every puppy was safe, supported, and having fun. It was clear how much they genuinely care about the dogs in their care.
Parker absolutely loved it! While we started out coming for puppy socialization, we would happily consider using their daycare or boarding in the future when the need comes up! We highly recommend Central Bark to anyone looking for dog care!
Frequently Asked Questions
Our top priority is the safety of every dog in our care. Our staff members are not only highly trained but also “fluent in dog speak,” which means they can read canine body language and behavior cues. Our rigorous dog day care safety protocols use a science-based positive reinforcement approach to constantly monitor and manage play. We believe in proactive and preventative care, working to de-escalate potential issues before they start, which is a key part of how dog day care handles disagreements and maintains a secure environment for all dogs.
