Start your pup on the right paw!
At Central Bark, we’re dedicated to nurturing and enriching dogs’ lives, and what better way than through puppy socialization? Positive interactions with new dogs, humans, and environments are crucial for a puppy’s healthy social development.
These early experiences help your dog build comfort, confidence, and impact their lifelong emotional development, laying the foundation for a healthy, happy, and socially well-adjusted dog.
Puppy Hour is a FREE supervised play and social hour for puppies held on Saturdays from 11 am–noon starting January 16. We invite you and your puppy to attend as many sessions as you would like until your pup reaches the age limit.

- Experience Off-Leash Playtime: Participate in off-leash play sessions with other vaccinated puppies of similar age, fostering social interaction and playfulness.
- Enjoy Experienced Supervision: Receive attentive supervision from experienced caregivers, ensuring safe and suitable playtime.
- Socialize and Explore: Encounter new dogs, people, toys, places, and experiences to promote socialization and adaptability.

All dogs are different, and like humans, your dog deserves grooming customized to their size, breed, and level of attention. For this reason, prices may vary by service and location.
An essential characteristic of a dog groomer is someone who makes you and your dog feel safe and comfortable.
Other things to look for:
- Certifications – Groomers don’t need a license or certification to work. Still, these accreditations are often signs that the groomer has the necessary training and experience to care for your pup.
- Experience with different breeds – Look for a groomer with experience with a variety of breeds and coats and the standard haircut for your dog’s breed.
- Preparedness – A groomer should work with dogs of all ages and levels of experience with grooming. They should aim to help each dog feel as comfortable as possible with the grooming process. Suppose the dog or puppy becomes anxious or uncomfortable. In that case, the groomer should be able to suggest a plan for increasing their comfort over time with the use of a positive reward-based approach.
