We absolutely love Central Bark for our two very energetic puppies! Daycare helps socialize them and you can tell they have had a fun day. The staff is the absolute best and are so sweet and kind!
I love that they send pics of my baby. He is always in good spirits who i pick him up.
Super friendly staff, our pups love it there, recommended!
Central Bark is an amazing place for puppy learning and socialization! I’ve been taking my dog every week since he was 9 weeks old and the progress he has made is incredible. They have such a knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated staff so you can feel confident leaving your pups in their hands. The owner/manager Tayna is so professional and kind and always advocates what’s best for the dogs. One of the staff members, Abby, was so sweet and knowledgeable. She worked hard with my pup on learning how to share and had so much success in just one session. If you are looking for a place that will provide your dog with the same love care and attention as you, I seriously cannot recommend central bark enough!
Friendly, knowledgeable and a 1 stop shop for all your dogs needs
Friend takes her twin puppies. They absolutely love it there
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I be sure that the play space is clean, odor & disease-free, comfortable and safe for the stated capacity of the center?
Central Bark® is licensed and inspected by the Health Department regularly. We also clean and disinfect nightly, regardless of how many dogs have visited.
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.

Can I join my dog in the training sessions?
While the Training Tutor, One-on-One Enrichment, and Rest Period Enrichment services are provided by our staff during your dog’s day care visit, Central Bark Fort Lauderdale also partners with Sue of We Love Dogs! to host group training classes. These classes are designed to help you and your dog refine skills together in a supportive environment. You can call the provided number to learn more about class schedules.
What is positive reward-based dog training?
Positive reward-based techniques help puppies and dogs develop essential life skills and behaviors that will enrich their lives at home and day care. These methods set dogs up to succeed and reward them for performing desired behaviors. Rewards are tailored to the dog’s preferences and can include food treats, time to play with a favorite toy, or verbal praise.
After decades of experience using reward-based training, we know it’s the most humane and effective way of training dogs and addressing unwanted behaviors. It’s the best way to build a loving, trusting bond that enhances your relationship between you and your dog for a lifetime of happiness together.
At Central Bark®, our focus on positive reinforcement has never wavered. We continuously update our skills and policies to stay at the forefront of new advances in behavioral science and positive reinforcement techniques.
