A Healthy Balanced Day
At our enrichment doggy day care, we offer a well-rounded experience for your furry friend. Each day is customized to meet your dog’s specific needs and preferences and includes:
- Play, Exercise, and Socialization: Regular exercise helps dogs maintain a healthy weight and uplifts their mood, providing an outlet for their energy. Positive interactions with humans, dogs, and environments foster well-adjusted and sociable pets. We offer small and large playgroups in both indoor and outdoor areas, catering to your dog’s age, personality, and comfort level.
- Rest: Adequate rest is essential for your dog’s overall health. Our daily schedule ensures they have time to relax and recharge, maintaining a healthy balance between activity and rest.
- Learning: Dogs learn from each other and our experienced staff, who use positive training techniques to encourage safe and healthy interactions. Through guided play, dogs practice good social behavior and learn from their peers.
- Love: Your dog becomes part of our family while they’re with us, receiving all the affection and attention they need. With regular attendance, we build a strong bond with your dog, allowing us to understand their personality, preferences, and any potential issues that may arise.
Commitment to Safety
The safety and well-being of our guests are our utmost priority. As fellow dog parents, we treat each and every dog with the same care and attention we would give our own furry companions. We are dedicated to creating a healthy and secure environment for all who come through our doors.
Central Bark® Enrichment Dog Day Care Features:
Flexible Group Play
Flexible playgroups allow us to match your dog with the social atmosphere and play schedule they can enjoy and benefit from most. This helps give them a healthy balance of play, rest, and learning and creates a safer social environment with a better quality of play. And our lower dog-to-staff ratios offer more individual attention, education, and love.
Group Play Skills
Interactive group activities and positive reinforcement help dogs practice important skills like name recall, and behaviors like group sit and calmly going in and out of doors and gates. These activities are fun and rewarding for your dog and help improve behavior and impulse control, prevent overstimulation, and create a safer social environment.
Rest Period Enrichment
Your dog gets to relax and recharge in their own private space with calming interactive toys and healthy food pairings tailored to their preferences and diet. It promotes physical and mental relaxation which can help them achieve a healthy balance of play, learning, and rest. It can also help them become more comfortable in crates by building positive associations.
One-on-One Enrichment
Personalized One-on-One Enrichment sessions give your dog the extra attention they love and the freedom to use their senses and safely explore their instincts through interactive toys, puzzles, and games. It’s fun and rewarding and exercise their bodies and minds and engage their senses. Add complexity with fitness and agility equipment.
Canine Cab Shuttle Service
Our Canine Cab shuttle service offers safe and convenient pick-up and drop-off services to help you get your dog to and from their day at day care. Also, we can make deliveries for market purchases. This service can be scheduled as part of your package or arranged on an as-needed basis.
Please schedule in person or over the phone, at least 24 hours in advance.
FAQs about Enrichment Dog Day Care in Amarillo
At Central Bark®, our goal is to provide a balanced day of play, learning, rest, and love. Learning and mental exercise can happen in various ways, including training activities, brain games, scent work, and more. Our playgroups offer several hours of active playtime paired with learning opportunities during Group Play Skills. This way, dogs have plenty of time to socialize and get their energy out, while also exercising their minds through learning.
During one of your dog’s rest periods throughout the day, they are offered a rest period enrichment activity to stimulate their mind while encouraging healthy rest. These licking and chewing activities involve food rewards, such as frozen peanut butter KONG®. These activities engage their minds while helping foster quality rest.
Did you know? Scientific studies have shown that licking and chewing behaviors (especially those that involve food rewards!) are self-soothing, decrease heart and respiratory rates, and even release dopamine in a dog’s brain.
Training Tutor sessions stimulate the dog’s minds and bodies and help them learn important skills, behaviors, and tricks.
One-on-One Enrichment sessions give the extra attention dogs love and the freedom to use their senses and safely explore their instincts through interactive toys, puzzles, and games.
Did you know? 15 minutes of mental activity is equal to 30 minutes of physical exercise!
Once you have enrolled, we will need a copy of your dog’s vaccination records, which you can upload to your online account or bring with you on your scheduled first day. We also ask that your dog comes in on a regular 6-foot flat leash (no retractable or flexi-leads in the lobby) and a quick-release collar. Not sure what a quick-release collar is? No problem! We’ll be happy to show you on your first day. If your dog usually wears a harness while walking, you’re welcome to bring that as well.
If your dog typically eats a midday meal, you can bring it in an airtight container clearly labeled with your dog’s first and last names.
