A Healthy, Balanced Day
Our doggy day care in Broadview Heights provides a holistic blend of play, exercise, socialization, learning, rest, and affection. Each day is tailored to your dog’s unique needs and preferences, nurturing their body, mind, and senses for a serene, well-rounded companion at home.
- Play, Exercise, and Socialization are key components. Exercise maintains their weight and muscle tone while enhancing mood and channelling their mental energy, resulting in a calmer demeanour at home. Positive interactions in varied settings create socially adept and content dogs. Our indoor and outdoor play areas offer both small and large group settings suited to your dog’s age, personality, and comfort level.
- Rest is equally vital. Amidst play and socializing, rest time is crucial for their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Our schedule ensures a balanced mix of rest, play, and learning to prevent overstimulation.
- Learning happens naturally. Dogs learn from humans and each other, and our trained staff utilize positive techniques to encourage safe play and instill healthy social behaviors in your dog during their time at daycare.
- Love is at the core. Your dog becomes a part of our family, receiving ample love and attention while you’re away. This bond fosters their comfort and confidence. Regular attendance allows us to understand your dog’s personality, needs, and preferences, enabling us to notice subtle changes, moods, behaviors, or even health concerns that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Commitment to Safety
Our utmost priority is the safety and well-being of all our guests. As dog parents ourselves, we treat every dog like family and are devoted to providing a healthy, secure environment for everyone in our facility.

Our top priority is the safety of every dog in our care. Our staff members are not only highly trained but also “fluent in dog speak,” which means they can read canine body language and behavior cues. Our rigorous dog day care safety protocols use a science-based positive reinforcement approach to constantly monitor and manage play. We believe in proactive and preventative care, working to de-escalate potential issues before they start, which is a key part of how dog day care handles disagreements and maintains a secure environment for all dogs.
Central Bark® has outdoor facilities complete with swimming pools and cooling systems for the summer.
Rest periods can be paired with fun and interactive food toys (like a frozen peanut butter Kong) to create a rest period enrichment activity for your dog.
Not only are rest period enrichments fun and mentally stimulating for your dog, but they also help build positive associations and crating skills. Hence, dogs are calmer, quieter, and more relaxed. For dogs, being comfortable in a crate is a life skill that is incredibly useful for them and their owners.
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.
