Central Bark Eugene

Every night, hundreds of thousands of people in America don’t have a permanent, safe place to stay -- including 2,000 individuals in our own community. 💔 With winter approaching, our wonderful employee, Sophie, is determined to help them by putting together care packages to distribute - but we need YOUR help acquiring donations in order to make this possible. Please view this video to see the "High Need Items" we will be collecting for the next few weeks. Donations can be dropped off at our day care or Training Spot, who without hesitation offered to be a second donation drop-off site. 🥰 If you have any questions, please e-mail [email protected] or DM us!

Happy 2nd Birthday @hazeltherubycav! 🥳💜🍪 We adore you + your little brother and are grateful we are your doggy day care of choice! Even though you’re spending your birthday at home with your family today, your friends at Central Bark Eugene are thinking about you and hope you get all the treats, walkies and belly rubs your heart desires. 🥰 Here is a throwback to her birthday last year! . . . #birthdaydog #happybirthday #cavalierkingcharles #centralbark #centralbarkeugene #wholedogcare #dogsarefamily #eugenedogs #woofgram

Voluntary Attention is an easy to reinforce behavior that is useful for a multitude of other behaviors! Shaping this behavior from turning in our direction all the way up to offering eye contact in the presence of distractions is not only incredibly useful, but it’s impressive, too! Voluntary Attention can promote the following behaviors: 🐕 Walking nicely on leash 🗣️ Ignoring other dogs and people 🐿️ Disengaging from small animals 🎾 Staying closer to you while off leash ❔ Have you taught your dog how to offer voluntary attention? #centralbarkeugene #centralbark #collieandcorso #certifieddogtraining #certifieddogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #dogtraining #dogtrainer #clickertraining #voluntaryattention #doggydaycare #enrichmentdaycare #eugenedogtrainer #oregondogs #corgi #corgistagram #corgisofinstagram

🐾 Do you have a puppy between 8-16 weeks and are looking for ways to safely expose them to novel experiences to build their confidence and resiliency in life? We would love to help out! Puppy Hour is a FREE event we hold every weekend in which puppies have the option to engage with other puppies, novel textures, sounds, scents, people, and more at their preferred speed. 📚 Our on-staff multi-certified (KPA-CTP, CPDT-KA, & FFCP) trainer can help answer questions and provide useful tips throughout this impressionable and crucial period of your dog’s life. 🐶 Your puppy will also have the opportunity to meet one of our Enrichment Specialists who run regular playgroups throughout the week and are well versed on dog body language. ➡️ Reserve your spot through our website today! ✍️ Message us if you have any questions! #centralbark #centralbarkeugene #puppysocialization #puppylove #puppygram #puppylife #doggydaycare #doggydaycarelife #dogdaycare #dogdaycarelife #eugeneoregon #eugenedogtrainer #eugenedogtraining #oregondogs #fearfreecertifiedprofessional #fearfreetraining #fearfreedogtraining

🥇 Zola had an amazing win today during a Training Tutor session with our multi-certified trainer, Lauren! With previously needing the assistance of sedation for a nail trim, today Zola was able to have one nail trimmed without any sedation or restraint! ➡️ For dogs who have sensitivities around body handling, a training plan including cooperative care and desensitization/counter conditioning can truly expedite the process, resulting in overall lower levels of stress for everyone involved. 🙌 Zola and Lauren still have more work to do, but seemingly little wins like this are HUGE to those involved. 📱 Call, DM, or chat with us in person if you have any interest in our Training Tutor package to help you and your dog with your training goals! #centralbark #centralbarkeugene #collieandcorso #dogdaycare #doggydaycare #fearfree #fearfreepets #fearfreecertifiedprofessional #fearfreedogtraining #certifieddogtrainer #dognailtrim #eugenedogtrainer #eugenedogtraining #eugeneoregon

This weekend’s Puppy Hour event included return appearances by the Aussie sisters Penguin & Pelican and Mini American Shepherd Journey, plus a guest appearance by the adorable Scottish Terrier, Gwennie! Thank you all for coming to play! 🐾

Today’s Puppy Hour attendees included Penguin (Aussie), Pelican (Aussie), Journey (Mini Am. Shep.), Yogi (Kai Ken), & Iko (Labrador)! Thank you for coming to play with us! 🐾💦🎾 Puppy Hour is a FREE supervised puppy playtime and social hour that provides a critical opportunity for puppies to get socialization during their “sensitive period” which is between 8 and 16 weeks of age. Socialization is a process of preparing your dog to enjoy interactions and be comfortable with other animals, people, places, and activities. We invite you and your puppy to attend as many sessions as you would like until your pup reaches the age limit. Meet our staff, speak with our trainer and groomer, and check out our facility. At Central Bark, our mission is to nurture and enrich your dog’s life, and a great way to start your pup on the right paw is through puppy socialization! #centralbark #centralbarkeugene #eugeneoregon #dogdaycare #dogdaycarelife #doggydaycare #australianshepherd #kaiken #labradorretriever #miniamericanshepherd #australianshepherdsofinstagram #kaikenofinstagram #labsofinstagram #miniamericanshepherdsofinstagram #puppiesofinstagram #puppysocialization

When I am running low on peanut butter but want to offer Sylas, Jordy and Arlo some mental stimulation while I work from home, I like to add THIS to ensure I have enough for three enrichment toys (and it makes the peanut butter fluffier, therefore easier to spread.) . . . #dogenrichment #dogs #lickimat #sodapup #dogs #happydogs #tongueouttuesday #centralbarkeugene #centralbark #eugenedogs

Dogs are oftentimes referred to as man’s best friend, but sadly, humans aren’t always that friendly to our four-legged companions; dogs being chained outdoors for extended periods of time without adequate food, shelter, and access to clean water oftentimes have detrimental effects on their physical and psychological well-being and lead to anxiety, neurotic and sometimes aggressive behavior. If there is an animal in Lane County that you are concerned about, please do no hesitate to reach out to the Eugene Animal Services hotline: (541) 687-4060.
