My 8 week old mini Aussie had hi first Free Puppy Socialization Hour at Central Bark Paradise Valley. Even though the dogs were only a couple weeks older, they were twice as big. So, they put us in area barred off from the other dogs playing so ne could watch and sniff. Ellie, a dog trainer, came in there with us and shared so much information about raising him to be social.
When we went there, I was very nervous. Now, I can’t wait to go back next week. They were so accommodating, informative, and kind.
I cannot wait to try their other services.
Kudos!!!

We’re thrilled to have found Central Bark for our dog Pluto. It’s been great having him socialize with the other dogs during daycare visits and we love having a safe place we can trust with boarding.
Very well thought out facility and Dan and his team are excellent. Thanks Central Bark PV!

We love bringing our pup to Central Bark! He is so excited every time we drop him off! Gets all that puppy energy out!! Great staff and facility!
My 2 dogs love coming to Central Bark! They have so much fun playing with their friends! I especially like that the dogs have both play and rest times scheduled during their day. Everyone is friendly and accommodating at Central Bark!
Central Bark has been a life saver for our new puppy. Lucy loves seeing her puppy pals at daycare. The staff is professional, the facility is so clean and the prices are very manageable.
Phenomenal experience. Dan and his team are awesome, everyone’s super friendly. I would recommend them to anyone. Keep it up!
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a schedule of activities and safety rules?
Yes. Our day is broken up into areas of play, rest, feeding and more. And we always keep a watchful eye on canine good manners.
How long does dog training take?
The timeline for learning new behaviors and skills is as unique as every dog! Because each dog is an individual, with different learning histories, breed genetics, and preferences in reinforcers like treats and toys, there is no way to say for sure how long training will take. It’s also important to consider how much time each family has for daily training practice.
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 dog, with expert training and classes so you and your pup can learn and bond together.

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. Practicing these skills at home is critical, but it’s always a good idea to enlist the help of a professional to get a jump start teaching your puppy all the things you want them to know and set them up for success! Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you train your dog, including expert training and classes, so you and your puppy can learn and bond together.

What kinds of behaviors and commands can my dog learn with a Training Tutor?
Our trainers can help your dog learn a variety of essential life skills and behaviors during their one-on-one sessions. These include fundamental commands like sit, stay, down, wait, and leave-it, as well as more specific skills such as calm door and gate etiquette and relaxed loose-leash walking. The training is tailored to help your dog become a well-behaved and confident member of the family.
