doggy day care Brookfield benefits: love, play, learn, rest

A Healthy, Balanced Day

Enrichment Dog Day Care creates a well-rounded mix of play, exercise, socialization, learning, rest, and tender loving care (TLC). Each day is customized to meet your dog’s unique needs, aiming to foster their physical, mental, and sensory well-being, resulting in a healthy, happy, calm, and well-rounded dog at home.

  • Play, Exercise, and Socialization – Physical activity helps your dog maintain a healthy weight and muscle tone, elevating their mood and providing a healthy outlet for both physical and mental energy. We offer diverse playgroups ensuring your dog enjoys a social environment tailored to their age, personality, and comfort level.
  • Rest – Amidst play and socializing, the chance for your dog to rest, relax, and recharge is crucial for their physical, mental, and emotional health. Our daily schedule is designed to prevent excessive stimulation and achieve a harmonious balance between rest, play, and learning.
  • Learning – Dogs learn from humans and fellow dogs, and with our guidance, they continuously teach each other appropriate social behavior. Our highly trained staff employs positive training techniques to encourage safe play and help your dog develop healthy social behaviors during their day at care.
  • Love – Your dog becomes a cherished member of our family, receiving all the love and attention they need in your absence. We form a strong bond with your dog to ensure their comfort and confidence. We will notice subtle changes like shifts in mood, behavior, or even potential health issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Commitment to Safety

Our foremost concern is the safety and welfare of our visitors. Being dog parents ourselves, we take immense pride in caring for each dog as if they were our own. Our dedication lies in ensuring a secure and healthy setting for everyone who steps into our facility.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Central Bark mentally stimulate a dog?

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!

Can I see the complete facilities where my dog will be staying?

Absolutely! We strongly encourage all prospective clients to see our facilities firsthand. We believe a tour is the best way to understand what to look for in a dog day care. You can schedule a visit to tour our complete indoor and outdoor play areas and private rest spaces. We want you to feel completely confident and comfortable with our secure environment. You can also explore our facility and get a feel for what a day at Central Bark looks like by viewing the photos and virtual tours on our website.

How Does the Staff Manage Dogs With Different Energy Levels or Personalities in the Playgroups?

Our dog socialization day care is built on a unique system of “flexible playgroups” to ensure a safe and positive social environment for every dog. We carefully match your dog with friends based on their age, personality, size, and play style, creating a balanced and stress-free environment. This is especially beneficial for day care for dogs with anxiety or shy puppies, as it provides a low-pressure way for them to build confidence and have a great time.
