About Central Bark Sheboygan
Our names are Gareth and Kristine and we are the proud owners of Central Bark Sheboygan. We wanted to take a quick moment and let you know that both you and your pups will receive nothing but the best care, service, and dedication here at Central Bark Sheboygan.
Before joining the Central Bark family we worked in the luxury charter yacht industry. For more than fifteen years Gareth worked as a professional charter boat captain, while Kristine spent the last nine years as a yacht chef and first mate. In fact, nine years ago is when the two of us met. Together we have sailed around the world delivering nothing but the best service to our guests and their friends and families. As well as our dedication to great service we have always prided ourselves in the cleanliness and safety of our yachts and we continue this level of service at Central Bark Sheboygan. In 2018, we decided to settle down and start a family. Now we’re the proud parents of two beautiful children and our dog. We’ve always been dog lovers and as our family grew, we began looking for business opportunities that aligned with our sense of family and our love for dogs.
“We welcome you to join our Central Bark family.”

Our Family Photo Album
The facility is spotless, safe, and full of space for the dogs to play and relax. Our girl came home happy, clean, and clearly well cared for — it honestly felt like she was on vacation too. You can tell they go above and beyond to make every dog feel comfortable and love
Jordynn groomed, our Ellie, and turned her from a ragga muffin pop to a little Instagram model.
Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience.
Central Bark Dog Training classes have been amazing for my dog, Hugo. Kristine does an excellent job of providing ‘Parents’ with what is needed to succeed not only to pass the class and get them certified but also provides tips and tricks on how to continue training with your baby each and every day.
I started bringing Hugo for classes at 4 months old for the AKC S.T.A.R Puppy Class. He learned socialization skills and met some friends that he is in classes with 10 months later.
He moved on and completed a CGC (Canine Good Citizen) class, a Nose Works holiday session and then to Intermediate Obedience. During one of our classes, we were able to take the dogs out into the community and see their training in local stores and in a Nursing Home setting. We met trainer Patty during some of our testing sessions and while on the Nursing Home visit. I’m looking forward to signing up for one of Patty’s Therapy classes in the next 6 months or so. He will be starting the Elite Training Club in a few weeks.
Kristine does an excellent job of providing ‘Parents’ with what is needed to succeed not only to pass the class and get them certified but also provides tips and tricks on how to continue training with your baby each and every day. Each week when I say “Time to go to School” Hugo runs to the garage door and can’t wait to get in the car, see his ‘friends’ and go to work. I’m beyond grateful for Kristine and Central Bark. I highly recommend working with Kristine and Patty for dog training classes and for that I’m giving Central Bark Sheboygan Training 5 stars!
all! Kristine is a fantastic trainer – we have learned so much from her and our dog adores her. We also love the staff at daycare and grooming – they always have something positive to share with us about our dog and help us reach the training goals we have for him. Couldn’t recommend Central Bark more!
