Local News
My dog loves the daycare. He has the best time ever!
Central Bark is my dogs favorite day of the week. They are always pumped to go here and play all day, and when I pick them up they are exhausted.
Even if your dog isn’t high energy, it is great socialization.
You get the vibe the staff likes it too – the people who work here are amazing and always happy to have your pups for the day. There are many long-time employees, it’s feels good to really know who is watching my dogs.
Additionally, I have boarded and groomed my dogs here. They’ll groom while your dog is in daycare for the day. The grooming staff is excellent as well.
Boarding is flexible to meet the specific needs of your dog(s).
I could go on, 5/5 forever 😊 thanks for loving my dogs Central Bark!

The staff is always friendly and you can tell they love their animals that come in!
We’ve boarded our dog at Central Bark for years — they’re fantastic and our dog is always excited to go back!
Excellent care and experience. My Tony loved going to play. We were only in the area for a month and Tony had been going to another Central Bark in Illinois before we moved. This location reviewed his records and agreed to let him come and play while we were in York. The staff and facility were wonderful. 5 stars!
Excellent business! We have been taking our Bassett Hound to Central Bark for 5 years. They take great care of her while we are out of town. It is obvious they love dogs!
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Rest Period Enrichments?
Rest periods can be paired with fun and interactive food toys (like a frozen peanut butter Kong) to create a rest period enrichment activity for your dog.
Not only are rest period enrichments fun and mentally stimulating for your dog, but they also help build positive associations and crating skills. Hence, dogs are calmer, quieter, and more relaxed. For dogs, being comfortable in a crate is a life skill that is incredibly useful for them and their owners.
Did you know? Scientific studies have shown that licking and chewing behaviors (especially those that involve food rewards!) are self-soothing, decrease heart and respiratory rates, and even release dopamine in a dog’s brain.
Is 5 months too old to train a puppy?
Not at all! It’s never too early or too late to begin building positive associations and using reward-based methods to teach your puppy new skills and behaviors.
Establish a training schedule now to help your puppy learn desired behaviors like walking nicely on a leash and basic cues like sit, stay, and loose-leash walking. Practicing these skills at home is critical, but it’s always a good idea to enlist the help of a professional to get a jump start teaching your puppy all the things you want them to know and set them up for success! Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you train your dog, including expert training and classes, so you and your puppy can learn and bond together.

How do you crate train a dog?
For dogs, being comfortable in a crate is a life skill that is incredibly useful for them and their owners. If you have ever traveled with your dog or had the unfortunate experience of an overnight stay at the vet, knowing your dog is comfortable in a crate is immeasurably comforting.
Crate training can take just days or a few months, based on your dog’s age, temperament, and past experiences with crates. The two keys to successful crate training are to keep the experience positive and go slowly.
When your puppy is not in their crate, keep the door open and reward them every time they choose to enter, even if you didn’t ask them to enter it. When crating your puppy, give them a safe enrichment item (like a stuffed Kong) that will keep them busy and allow them to self-soothe while confined. Remember that crate training should take place in a series of small, slow steps that will help your puppy become more comfortable.
Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you care for your new puppy. Our Enrichment Day Care gives puppies all the socialization, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest they need for a lifetime of happiness with you and your family. We also offer expert training and classes so you and your puppy can learn and bond together.
