Our beloved furry friends occupy a unique corner within our hearts. Recognizing the significance of ensuring their utmost well-being, offering them a fulfilling life is paramount. Nonetheless, fulfilling all their requirements can pose a challenge. This is precisely where Central Bark emerges as a solution.

Our mission is to provide love, care, and holistic growth for your beloved canine. With Central Bark Sussex, your dog enjoys secure, fun-filled days with companions, giving you peace of mind.

Our philosophy, known as “Whole Dog Care”, is centered on fostering and elevating your dog’s complete vitality and welfare throughout its lifetime. At the core of our philosophy resides our Enrichment Dog Day Care initiative.

However, our range of services extends far beyond this – encompassing dog boarding, bathing, grooming, a supply marketplace, training, and beyond. Our objective is to facilitate the shared pursuit of an enriched existence for both you and your canine companion.

We deeply understand that dogs represent cherished family members, not just mere companions. As fellow dog caregivers, we treat your dog like family.

Central Bark’s Enrichment Dog Day Care offers more than playtime — it nurtures your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. With small playgroups based on size, temperament, and playstyle, we create a safe, structured environment where dogs build confidence, learn good manners, and enjoy healthy socialization. Our enrichment activities, routine schedules, and trained enrichment specialists provide positive interaction, exercise, and rest so your dog goes home happy, tired, and fulfilled.

Boarding

Boarding

Central Bark dog boarding provides a safe, cozy home-away-from-home where your pup can rest comfortably while you’re away. Our team offers attentive, individualized care with plenty of enrichment, affection, and routine to help your dog feel secure. Each guest enjoys a clean, comfortable sleeping space, regular potty breaks, and caring supervision from people who know dogs well. Relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and cared for like one of our own.

Training

Training

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.

Training

FREE Puppy Hour

Central Bark’s Free Puppy Hour starts your puppy’s socialization the right way.

It’s a fun, stress-free way to nurture a well-rounded, confident puppy — at no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do groomers sedate dogs?

No. At Central Bark®, we never sedate dogs in our salon. Our expert groomers always aim to help your dog feel as calm and relaxed as possible during their bathing and grooming experience.  

Suppose your dog has shown extreme stress or anxiety toward grooming in the past. In that case, we suggest speaking with a trusted veterinarian and one of our reward-based trainers about how we can best support your dog.

Is boarding stressful for dogs?

Sleeping in a new or unfamiliar environment can be stressful for some dogs. That’s why we offer sleepovers to dogs already enrolled in our Enrichment Day Care. 

Sleepovers at Central Bark® offer your dog a calm, relaxing sleepover in a place they can feel comfortable and loved. Because they’re in a familiar place, they can feel less stressed about being away from home (and so will you). A full day of Doggy Day Care is complimentary with your sleepover, so your dog can play with their friends after a good night’s rest.

How do you train a puppy?

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 puppy. We offer expert training and classes so you and your puppy can learn and bond together.
