A Healthy, Balanced Day
Recognizing the uniqueness of each dog, we tailor each day to cater to their individual needs and preferences, aiming to nurture their bodies, minds, and senses for a healthy, happy, and well-balanced dog.
Our program covers play, exercise, socialization, learning, rest, and care:
- Exercise maintains a healthy weight, boosts mood, and uses up energy. Tailored playgroups help dogs socialize based on age and personality.
- Rest is crucial too, balancing play and learning to avoid overstimulation. Our trained staff uses positive techniques for safe play and good behavior. Dogs learn from both humans and other dogs in our positive environment.
- Love matters. Dogs join our family, and we build bonds for comfort and confidence. Regular attendance helps us understand each dog’s needs and spot any health changes early.
Commitment to Safety
At Central Bark Dog Day Care, prioritizing safety is paramount. As fellow dog parents, we recognize the crucial need for a secure and healthy environment for all our furry guests. Treating each dog with the same care as if they were our own, we are unwaveringly dedicated to ensuring their well-being throughout their time in our care.
Central Bark Atlanta 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.
Enrichment Circuit Training
In addition to our daily Enrichment Dog Day Care activities, your dog will participate in a circuit of three, 30-minute sessions with our Enrichment Specialist and a group of just five dogs. Sessions include Small Group Play, Canine Fitness and Agility, and Semi-Private Training Tutor. Ask an associate to learn more.
I highly recommend Central Bark Atlanta. My quirky girl, Willow has come out of her shell and gained so much confidence through day care and circuit training. The staff are exceptionally kind and supportive of all dogs, including skittish dogs like Willow who requires time to trust strangers. They were so patient with her. Many thanks to Emily who helped Willow become more comfortable through circuit training. There is truly a remarkable difference in her behavior. Emily has been so good to her and I love their special connection. Sadly we have moved out of state. I was worried about the road trip and moving to a new home and neighbor hood but Willow has surprised me. She’s doing so well and I attribute her easier transition to the time she spent at Central Bark Atlanta. Forever grateful, Pam and Willow

To speed up the registration process, please have available: veterinarian contact information, an emergency contact (other than yourself or your partner), pet information & medical history, and credit card information (optional). We will ask you a series of questions about your dog’s training and social history. These questions help us get to know them and provide the best care possible.
Nope! We got you covered! Most dogs will not need any bedding for a single day of day care. If your dog is boarding with us, see our Sleepover Guidelines. As far as treats and toys, we have plenty! Please ask about which toy and treat products are available.
As part of joining the Central Bark® family, our expert staff conducts a thorough behavior assessment at your local Central Bark store. These assessments help ensure that your dog is placed with a playgroup they’re comfortable with so they can play safely every day they’re with us.
This four-day evaluation, while your dog participates in our Enrichment Day Care, assesses your dog’s:
- Comfort and social skills with people
- Social skills and playstyle with other dogs to help determine the playgroup and play schedule they can benefit from the most
- Comfort in both indoor and outdoor play spaces
- Comfort in rest areas and a crate
- Ability to share resources like water and toys in social settings
- Level of comfort taking treats in social settings
This process gives us a chance to get to know you and your dog while your dog gets acquainted with their new favorite place away from home. Through the entire four days, your dog’s comfort and safety is our top priority.
Once your pup passes all the behavior assessment elements, you are welcome to sign up for any of our daycare services or a sleepover!
To schedule a Behavior Assessment for your dog, please contact your local store.
NOTE: Please bring all required signed forms, vaccination proof, and a collar and leash for your behavior assessment.
