Central Bark Milwaukee Downtown

I cannot recommend a doggie daycare more highly than Central Bark Downtown. We sent our puppy Paul to CBDT practically every week from when we first adopted him at six months, till just last week, when he passed away at the age of 12. The staff has always been caring, and thoughtful. Paul loved his time there, and barked enthusiastically with joy each time we arrived. We had complete peace of mind when he was there, as they took care of his as well as if he was their own. Thanks to all the staff for taking such good care of our Pauly. You all were a very important part of his life!

My fiancé and I came up to Milwaukee for a weekend getaway from Chicago and it was much easier to get my dog Wrigley in for a grooming appointment here than it was in Chicago. The folks here are very friendly, ask thorough questions about what you’re looking for, and had her to me in just three hours. She looks fantastic. We’ll be back in the future when we’re up here again!

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.)

I appreciate the care they give by making sure your pet has all vaccinations and is healthy, but we had to explain how to read our vet’s invoice. They were unable to look at the 2nd page and I had to call to explain. The bed we took with Healy was returned with a broken zipper, that needs to be replaced, with no explanation or discount, plus we had to ask for it to be returned. When we arrived to pick her up we had to wait in line for quite some time to retrieve her. We assume Healy had lots of fun, because she slept all day and night after picking her up and seemed very happy. But the little knit-picky things annoyed me. I would probably book again though if we are back in Milwaukee.

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.

We have been coming here for the last 3 weeks for training classes. Our instructor is very helpful and personable. She is more than qualified to teach us and I genuinely appreciate all of her guidance. She has also recommended great products that our girl loves.
