Central Bark’s dog training helps to build confidence, manners, and lifelong skills using force-free, positive reinforcement methods. Our dog trainers offer classes for puppies and adults, from basic obedience to more advanced skills. Training can also be integrated into our dog day care for active learning, socialization, and mental enrichment. With individualized sessions and options during day care, pups learn through play, enrichment, and structure. The result? A calmer, happier dog with better habits at home.
Central Bark’s Free Puppy Hour starts your puppy’s socialization the right way. This safe, supervised play session helps puppies build confidence, social skills, and healthy play habits during their most important developmental stage (8-16 weeks). Guided by trained enrichment specialists, puppies explore new sights, sounds, and friends while burning energy and learning healthy habits. Pet parents also get expert training tips and support. It’s a fun, stress-free way to nurture a well-rounded, confident puppy — at no cost.

Great dog daycare and drop-off service in Rochester, MI. The team at Central Bark is friendly, professional, and clearly loves the dogs. My dog is always excited to go and comes home happy and tired. Highly recommend for anyone in the Rochester area looking for reliable doggy day care.
Central Bark is seriously amazing!! It’s our Shih Tzu Finn’s second home and second family! They truly treat the dogs there as their own. We have utilized grooming, day care, boarded him for a week and are in puppy training! Finn has grown so much since going to Central Bark, they have truly helped to raise our little guy. He’s so excited every time we drop him off.
We love Central Bark! Abby goes to doggy daycare three times a week, recently completed a six-week beginner training course with Connor, and has also been groomed there. We truly couldn’t be happier with the experience.
The staff is incredibly friendly, the facility is always clean, and most importantly, Abby absolutely loves it there. It’s such a peace of mind knowing she’s in loving company during the work week.
We especially loved training with Connor and would highly recommend him to anyone in the area. We left with practical day-to-day training tools that have been so helpful, and it was also a wonderful bonding experience for us and Abby.
The groomer also did a beautiful job with Abby’s longer coat, and we love the convenience of having her groomed during daycare. Central Bark has truly been a one-stop shop for our pup, and we highly recommend them!
So happy with our experience at Central Bark! Our 9yo French Bulldog has only been boarded once before about 5 years ago, and when family was unable to watch her while we were out of town, we had to find a new place for her to stay. Central Bark was everything we were looking for and more. They required a trial run before her actual stay, which we really appreciated so that she would be comfortable there when it came time for us to leave. We received daily reports with photos every day she was there. We also requested that she get a bath on her last day, and they put an adorable bow on her too. Meredith and staff were so kind and easy to communicate with. We will definitely utilize them again in the future!
Our mini schnauzer had his first big boy haircut at Central Bark. The entire staff was happy to see him. Kindness overflowed. He responded by being well behaved. He looked so good in his fancy tie. Excellent first time experience.
Are the management and staff mature, knowledgeable, courteous, professional and patient at all times?
We have a team of very qualified individuals here at Central Bark®, including managers who are certified in Canine First Aid and CPR.
