Dog Training & Enrichment Options:
Training Tutor
Personalized one-on-one training sessions during day care visits help your dog develop important skills and behaviors like name recall, sit, stay, down, wait, leave-it, door and gate control, and loose-leash walking. Excellent for your dog and easy for you! Your dog will come home tired and well-socialized, with the training and skills they need to be a well-behaved member of your family.
One-on-One Enrichment
Personalized One-on-One Enrichment sessions give your dog the extra attention they love and the freedom to use their senses and safely explore their instincts through interactive toys, puzzles, and games. It’s fun and rewarding and exercise their bodies and minds and engage their senses. Add complexity with fitness and agility equipment.
Rest Period Enrichment
Your dog gets to relax and recharge in their own private space with calming interactive toys and healthy food pairings tailored to their preferences and diet. It promotes physical and mental relaxation which can help them achieve a healthy balance of play, learning, and rest. It can also help them become more comfortable in crates by building positive associations.
Our Trainers
Kyle Dean
I have the honor of training and working with the plethora of pups we have here at Central Bark in West Columbia. I am new in the “official” dog training world, but I have had experience working with dogs since I was a child. With the years I’ve spent alongside Walker Hounds for treeing raccoons, German Shepherds for household protection, and Labrador Retrievers for fetching the remote, I am confident we can work together to transform your dog into the ultimate companion.
