Review 3: 5⭐. We had such a positive experience with Central Bark through their free Saturday puppy socialization classes! We brought our puppy, Parker, every weekend, and it was an incredible way for him to learn appropriate play and build confidence. The owners and staff were truly amazing! Very welcoming, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior. They carefully supervised the different size and play groups, making sure every puppy was safe, supported, and having fun. It was clear how much they genuinely care about the dogs in their care. Parker absolutely loved it! While we started out coming for puppy socialization, we would happily consider using their daycare or boarding in the future when the need comes up! We highly recommend Central Bark to anyone looking for dog care! Review 4: 5⭐. We had such a positive experience with Central Bark through their free Saturday puppy socialization classes!

Torque looks absolutely incredible, and this is genuinely the first time in a very long time that I’ve been completely happy with his groom. The attention to detail, the quality of the work, and the overall care he received truly stood out. His coat is clean, well-shaped, and so well maintained—you can tell real care and skill went into every detail. Torque was extremely nervous at drop-off, which always makes me nervous as an owner, but Rawley was so patient, calm, and understanding with him. By the time I picked him up, he was a completely different dog—happy, comfortable, and relaxed. He even gave Rawley a kiss goodbye, which says everything about the trust and bond Rawley was able to build with him. He didn’t just look good, he felt good, and that means the world to me. It’s clear that Rawley truly cares about the dogs he works with and treats them with kindness and respect, especially those who may be nervous. We will absolutely be requesting Rawley for all future grooms and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a groomer who goes above and beyond—not just in appearance, but in the overall experience.

Review 11: 5⭐ I have been taking my dog Betty to Central Bark twice a week for over a year. She loves playing with all her friends. When I pull up to the building she can hardly control her excitement to get inside. The staff is very kind and patient with her. I highly recommend Central Bark. Review 12: 5⭐ We love this place and all of it's employees! We have had our puppy groomed here, by Brittany, and he looked amazing! We have attended basic obedience classes, with Heather, and have learned so much. We have also been to free puppy social hour on Saturday mornings. I have learned so much from being there. The owners and all the staff truly love dogs and have thought of everything to make you feel safe and comfortable. I would highly recommend going there for any classes, grooming services and doggy daycare. They also sell treats, food and supplies such as harnesses. I have found that the bully sticks and trachea's that I have purchased from here have been better quality than others I have bought at other pet stores. Review 13: 5⭐ I’ve been getting my dog groomed with Brittney for years! She does the best work Review 14: 5⭐ Brittany took great care of Jake during his spa day. Would highly recommend. Review 15: 5⭐ They are so fantastic! We've done free puppy hour here many times with our Boston Terrier and also obedience classes. Great staff!!
