Central Bark Milwaukee Downtown

"We love taking our dog to daycare here! She always comes home happy and exhausted"

"Edit My initial review below was honest; my final review is what reflects the 1 star. We are officially saying goodbye to central bark for numerous reasons. From Mikayla reporting DAILY that our dog had constant blood in stool; we asked for photos as proof and nothing as it only magically happened under her care vs when home with us. She stopped working there and this issue disappeared. To Zak almost attacking his dad when he pulled out his leash to go on a walk. To growling at his mom when she has jeans on. To being scared at plastic bags and being startled to every noise when home. Last, to “accidentally” forgetting to feed Zak; we are sure this isn’t the first time as sometimes after daycare he eats like he’s never eaten in his life. How do you feed all dogs but forget to feed ours? We do not trust anyone with Zak, central bark is the only humans Zak knows outside of his parents care. So there is no excuse for the mounting behavioral changes in him. We cannot pinpoint elsewhere as all he knows outside of daycare is us. My husband and I work full time sales jobs and do not like the idea of leaving Zak home alone or hiring a dog walker hence why we have him at daycare Monday through Friday. Whenever we get a chance to work from home or take time off we cancel daycare to spend time with him. This is enough intel for you to puzzle everything together on his behavior. Please pay attention to your pups, they cannot speak up for themselves but they can give you hints. ————————————————————————- Highly recommend this location. Our pup Zak loves the staff and his furry friends. Staff are so attentive to Zaks needs, so accommodating, and kind! Julia the trainer there does a wonderful job training Zak, he always comes home well behaved and listens more and more. We practice at home with help of his daily report cards they post on our portal with videos and descriptions of what was taught to Zak for the day and photos of him during playtime and training "

"Took the basic elementary training course here and it was great. Julia did a fantastic job walking us through all the lessons to help correct our dogs behavior and helped explain what a dog is thinking to stop unknown bad habits we were doing. Definitely worth it."

"We LOVED Basic Elementary class with Julia! Our little Dolly Barkton isn’t always the model student, but Julia had great suggestions and demonstrations for us. We will be working hard on these skills so we feel ready in the future to come back for the second level of training. I highly recommend going here for classes, we felt so well taken care of. (Photo of Dolly doing the skill she’s not very good at but always looks good doing.)"

"Our mini Goldendoodle went to Central Bark downtown during the summer and we absolutely loved the experience. He always run right into the place when we take him there and was bubbly and happy when we picked him up. He also did a couple of one-night boarding and when we picked him up he was the same happy puppy as always and had eaten well. We’ll be coming back. We also used grooming. They cut his nails quite well and did his first face haircut when he was about 4 months old. I’m attaching the picture of how he looked after. Cutting the hair of such young puppy and specially a Doodle mix I know is hard so we were very happy with the results."
