Cadence, one of our Enrichment Specialists, joined the Central Bark team in December of 2025. Born and raised in Matthews, North Carolina, Cadence has been homeschooled and is currently in her junior year of high school. From an early age, she has had a deep love for animals, a passion that continues to shape her daily life and future goals. In addition to working with the amazing pups at Central Bark, Cadence enjoys riding horses and caring for her ever-growing family of more than 20 pets. Her hands-on experience with animals has inspired her long-term dream of opening her own equine sanctuary, where she hopes to rescue, rehabilitate, and provide a safe haven for abused and neglected horses.

Gemma, a 4-year-old Bernedoodle, has been a member of the Central Bark family since May of 2022. When she’s not soaking up the sun like a little ray of happiness, she’s zooming around the yards with pure joy. Gemma adores her daycare friends, especially her bestie Charlie, a 5-year-old Mini Goldendoodle. You can’t find one without the other! She shows her love with gentle nibbles for her handlers and of course, she never leaves without making sure everyone gets plenty of kisses. We’re so lucky to have this affectionate, happy pup brighten our days! Congratulations on being named Dog of the Month!

🐾 3 Often Overlooked Health Issues That Can Affect a Dog’s Social Behavior

Chronic, mild discomfort doesn’t always look dramatic—but it can absolutely change how a dog feels about and interacts with the world around them.

1️⃣ Unresolved Allergies
Persistent itchiness, ear irritation, or skin inflammation can leave dogs feeling uncomfortable and short on social tolerance, making interactions with other dogs, people, and the environment around them more tense.

2️⃣ Gastrointestinal (GI) Issues
Ongoing stomach upset, food sensitivities, or irregular digestion can cause stress and low-level discomfort that impacts mood, focus, and stress tolerance.

3️⃣ Joint Pain or Stiffness
Even mild joint discomfort can make play, movement, or physical handling uncomfortable, causing some dogs to withdraw socially or react negatively to social interactions.

💡 When dogs don’t feel their best physically, it can show up behaviorally. Supporting comfort is an important part of supporting success.

🧠 Behavior Myth Buster: “A Tired Dog Is a Calm Dog”

❌ Myth:
A tired dog is always a calm dog.

✅ Truth:
An overtired dog can actually become more intense, impulsive, and overstimulated—just like an overtired toddler.

When dogs don’t get enough rest and recovery, their nervous system can tip into overdrive. Instead of relaxing, you may observe:
❗️ Your dog seems restless when they should be ready for a nap
❗️ Your dog is reacting faster and more intensely toward distractions
❗️ An increase in zoomies, mouthing, or barking

A dog doesn’t become calm with increased exercise alone, but instead by having the right mix of:
✔️ Physical activity
✔️ Mental enrichment
✔️ Social time
✔️ Rest and downtime
