Peter, the manager, is awesome to work with. He’s super accommodating and always finds a way to get my dogs scheduled. We’ve got them on a routine now which makes everything really easy.
Alyssa does a phenomenal job with both of my dogs, a Labradoodle and an Australian Shepherd. My Aussie can be pretty anxious,, so I was a little worried at first, but they’ve handled him incredibly well. They’re patient, know what they’re doing, and you can tell they actually care about the dogs.
I’ve never had a bad experience here. The whole team is great and always quick to respond if I have any questions.
Really appreciate Peter, Alyssa, and the entire staff.

For pet parents, training can start as soon as your puppy comes home with simple, age-appropriate skills and routines. Early training can focus on communication, positive reinforcement, household routines, social skills, and foundational cues. Central Bark also offers Puppy Hour, a free opportunity to help your puppy learn, socialize, and build positive early experiences while you connect with Central Bark professionals about your puppy’s needs.
