Central Bark® Doggy Day Care in Wauwatosa offers full days of loving, playful and safe doggy fun. Your pooch will love being part of our pack. We are conveniently located right in the heart of Wauwatosa on West State Street and offer a “one stop shop” with full service grooming, self wash and plenty of treats for your furry friend.
During the time you’re away from each other, we do everything we can to make you and your dog as comfortable as possible. For your dog, staying overnight at Central Bark means more time with their friends in an already familiar environment. As your dog’s home away from home, we know your dog and they know us. This reduces the stress and separation anxiety often associated with traditional dog boarding settings.
Doggy day care is included in our sleepovers, which means a full day of play before spending the night in an appropriately sized crate in a safe and comfortable surrounding.
When your dog sleeps over, they’re still running with our pack!
Dogs love to hang out at Central Bark. Our Unkennel™ breaks the mold of a traditional dog kennel to give your dog a better day, every day. Unlike traditional kennels – or cleverly named canine camps, doggy country clubs, dog lodges, or dog spas – we give your dog the stimulation, interaction, play time, nap time and TLC they need to keep them happy and healthy.
Each Central Bark staff is specially trained with our unique Central Bark® Doggy Day Care Certification Program in animal behavior, socialization, obedience training, canine first aid and CPR. A behavioral assessment is performed prior to your dog being placed with any other dogs, to ensure the safety of your pet, other dogs and our staff.
At Central Bark Doggy Day Care, we not only love dogs, we know dogs! And we know that dogs need exercise and stimulation to maintain happy, healthy lives. We also know how hard it is to leave our four-legged companions home alone all day. That’s why we started the Barkley’s Buddy Walk Program, to bring our dog experience and care right to your home.
Let our team of professional dog walkers give you peace of mind, while your dog gets the attention and exercise they need. Barkley’s Buddy Walk Program was developed by a Certified Central Bark Dog Trainer and is backed by years of experience in canine socialization, handling and care. Let Central Bark’s experienced, certified dog walkers help give your dog better days!
Training and socialization at our School of Bark are the cornerstones of a positive dog-parenting experience. In our years of research, we’ve discovered that a combination of obedience training and doggy day care is the key to a positive dog-parenting experience.
Our dog training professionals embrace our reward-based pawlosophy that focuses on fun and positive reinforcement. Classes encourage stronger relationships and build a foundation for good canine citizenship to develop happy, social and well-rounded dogs.
