Look no further.

It is such a relief to have found Central Park Spring. From my very first interactions, this place was different. Different from the other places where my pup came home traumatized; where my pup nearly clawed his way out of the office when I picked him up after a weekend away; where my pup came home with a nasty hot spot on his hip from sitting nearly all day.

We don’t need our fur babies to speak English for them to communicate to us. We can see in their eyes when they are sad, fearful, or distressed. The same for when they are happy.

My boy came home happy (he was still very ready to go home, but that is to be expected!)

The pets get a lot of interaction and are kept busy during the day. That makes all the difference. I can tell the people who work here go above and beyond to care for their clients while in their care.

I was impressed with the professionalism, the care, kindness, and communication from CBS. I would recommend them to anyone and I will absolutely return when needed.

If you have to leave your babies for travel (which I sometimes do unfortunately), I can’t recommend this place enough. They will be in good hands.

Central Bark and Armando are a godsend!
My fur baby is waiting at the door in the mornings and runs to Armando with excitement. Im so grateful he has a home away from home to play where he is safe and can get his exercise. I’m not the best at keeping up with him.

Polite staff. Pups come back happy and tired. Very clean. Beautiful grooming. Easy to get in and out if. Pups get excited as we’re driving there.

Just picked up my dog from her 7 night stay and play. She is happy and exhausted from having such a great time. I received daily report cards and pictures which were amazing! It was her first time staying at Central Bark so it was nice to know she was doing well. The gentleman who checked us in and out was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

We have been bringing our dog Zoe for daycare and boarding here for several months and have been so happy with Central Bark! Zoe is greeted by name every morning and we love that there’s always a familiar face there. Armando and his team do a great job keeping her entertained! The facility is so nice and clean and she never smells bad when gets home. I love that they have indoor and outdoor play yards – even when it’s 100 degrees outside I know she’s able to play safely. We love Central Bark! 🐾

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

What should I bring to Doggy Day Care?

Once you have enrolled, we will need a copy of your dog’s vaccination records, which you can upload to your online account or bring with you on your scheduled first day. We also ask that your dog comes in on a regular 6-foot flat leash (no retractable or flexi-leads in the lobby) and a quick-release collar. Not sure what a quick-release collar is? No problem! We’ll be happy to show you on your first day. If your dog usually wears a harness while walking, you’re welcome to bring that as well.

If your dog typically eats a midday meal, you can bring it in an airtight container clearly labeled with your dog’s first and last names.

How Does the Staff Manage Dogs With Different Energy Levels or Personalities in the Playgroups?

Our dog socialization day care is built on a unique system of “flexible playgroups” to ensure a safe and positive social environment for every dog. We carefully match your dog with friends based on their age, personality, size, and play style, creating a balanced and stress-free environment. This is especially beneficial for day care for dogs with anxiety or shy puppies, as it provides a low-pressure way for them to build confidence and have a great time.

What Happens if My Dog Gets Into a Disagreement With Another Dog?

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.
