About Central Bark West Columbia
Anthony and Courtney chose Central Bark because the process and structure of the company makes perfect sense. They believe that their animals (which include two Great Danes- Penny (6) and Luna (1); Trixie (4) a 3-legged shepherd mix; and five cats- Ruby, Sassy, Pebbles, Rusty, and Bengal) and everyone else’s fur babies deserve the best care they can get. Central Bark’s values are in line with what they believe a true whole dog care system should be.
Prior to joining the Central Bark franchise system, Anthony was a supermarket department manager and is currently a sales consultant and Courtney is a high school principal and math teacher. Anthony will be the main person running their location while Courtney continues her educational career.
Anthony enjoys spending time with the pups, working on his car, bowling, and trying to expand their puppy family. Courtney enjoys reading, solving Rubik’s cubes, and stopping Anthony from expanding their puppy family. The couple’s two human children are Maddie (16) and Ryan (15).
“We welcome you to join our Central Bark family.”

Flexible playgroups allow us to match your dog with the social atmosphere and play schedule they can enjoy and benefit from most. This helps give them a healthy balance of play, rest, and learning and creates a safer social environment with a better quality of play. And our lower dog-to-staff ratios offer more individual attention, education, and love.
After decades of experience, we know that reward-based training is the most humane and effective way to train dogs and address unwanted behaviors. With reward-based training, you can build a loving, trusting bond that enhances your relationship with your dog for a lifetime of happiness.
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 include food treats, time to play with a favorite toy, or verbal praise.
