Love Central Bark! My 7 month old Pomeranian has been going for about six weeks now, and his confidence has grown so much. He has become comfortable playing with the other dogs, always comes home happy and tired, and gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot in the mornings.

Everyone at Central Bark has been amazing. They’re so kind, supportive, flexible, and easy to communicate with, and I always know he’s in great hands.

We love Central Bark!! I have a 1 year old lab and she is full of energy. Central bark has been such an amazing thing to add into her weekly routine. We take her once a week and it is her favorite place. Every time we get in the car she is so excited and knows we are heading to daycare. We have also put her in the basic obedience training which is a 6 week course. It has been a huge help in her training and has helped with her sitting, staying and leash walking. We are even going to put her in the advanced training so she can continue to advance her commands she’s learned. Central bark has it all, Mable has even received a blueberry facial during her spa bath. I have been recommending Central Bark to everyone of my dog parent friends and I hope whoever reads this gets the pleasure of enjoying them to. Dan is super friendly and easy to communicate with making the experience not only the best for my dog, but me as well. 100/100 stars to Central Bark!!

I love that Central Bark is local. I see the owner every time I go in and I know the dogs who are in daycare with mine. My favorite thing is getting a midday “report card” on my dog. They send pictures, give updates on your dog’s activities and tell you who they are playing with. I can also add on a nail trim or groom while he’s at daycare. I’m currently doing their 6 week obedience training. Not only are we learning new commands but we are strengthening the ones already established.
He comes home happy and exhausted every time.

Two very important things for doggy daycare, friendly staff and clean smell. Central Bark excels at both of those! We love brining our dog here. 10/10 would recommend!

We’ve been coming to Central Bark PV for almost 6 months now – we’ve done everything from grooming to day care and boarding. Our pup LOVES his day care days at CB. It’s clear they love what they do and the daily photo reports are a highlight. Dan and his staff are welcoming, knowledgeable, and patient!

Absolutely love this doggy daycare! The facility always smells so clean and fresh, which really says a lot about how well they take care of the place. The staff is absolutely amazing—so friendly, caring, and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely love the dogs and treat them like family. I feel completely comfortable leaving My Jasper in their care, especially cause he’s a senior pup. Bravo and cheers to you all🥰🐶

FAQs About Dog Training & Enrichment in Paradise Valley & Scottsdale, AZ

What is positive reward-based dog training?

Positive reward-based techniques help puppies and dogs develop essential life skills and behaviors that will enrich their lives at home and day care. These methods set dogs up to succeed and reward them for performing desired behaviors. Rewards are tailored to the dog’s preferences and can include food treats, time to play with a favorite toy, or verbal praise.

After decades of experience using reward-based training, we know it’s the most humane and effective way of training dogs and addressing unwanted behaviors. It’s the best way to build a loving, trusting bond that enhances your relationship between you and your dog for a lifetime of happiness together.

At Central Bark®, our focus on positive reinforcement has never wavered. We continuously update our skills and policies to stay at the forefront of new advances in behavioral science and positive reinforcement techniques.

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.

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.

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.
