A Healthy, Balanced Day
Enrichment Dog Day Care offers a holistic blend of playtime, physical activity, socialization, educational experiences, relaxation, and tender loving care. Each day is customized to cater to your dog’s unique requirements and preferences, aiming to nurture their physical and mental well-being. This ensures you have a content, joyful, tranquil, and all-around well-adjusted dog at home.
- Play, Exercise, and Socialization: Physical exercise is vital for your dog’s overall health, maintaining a healthy weight, muscle tone, and improving their mood. It also serves as an essential outlet for their physical and mental energy. Positive interactions with new humans, dogs, and environments foster well-rounded and well-socialized dogs. We offer both small and large playgroups in indoor and outdoor settings, tailored to your dog’s age, personality, and comfort level.
- Rest: After active play and socialization, your dog requires adequate rest to recharge physically, mentally, and emotionally. Our daily schedule is meticulously designed to prevent overstimulation, striking the right balance between rest, play, and learning.
- Learning: Dogs are constantly learning from humans and other dogs, shaping their understanding of appropriate social behavior. Our expertly trained staff employs positive training techniques to encourage your dog to practice healthy social behaviors.
- Love and Attention: Your dog becomes an integral part of our family during their time with us. We foster a close bond with your dog, helping them feel comfortable and confident in our care. Through regular attendance, we gain a deep understanding of your dog’s personality, needs, and preferences. This familiarity enables us to notice subtle changes, such as shifts in mood, behavior, or even potential health issues, which might otherwise go unnoticed.
Commitment to Safety
Ensuring the safety and well-being of our guests is our utmost concern. As fellow dog parents, we cherish every dog as if they were our own, and we’re dedicated to maintaining a secure and healthy environment for everyone who steps into our facility. Your peace of mind is our priority.
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.
I have boarded them here numerous times and my pups always return happy and well-adjusted. The lovely staff at CB sends daily report cards, photos and videos during their stay. It is reassuring to know they are in great hands; they are provided engaging activities and loving care. The staff noticed my pup’s acrobatic talent in ball fetching and one sent me slow motion videos of him in action! So amazing, thanks everyone at Central Bark!
Kudos to CB’s dog groomer Elmer who makes the furry pom poms fresh and spiffy, decked out in cute scarves.
The staff genuinely cares about each dog and it shows in how they greet everyone with real enthusiasm every morning. Their Instagram shows all the really cool breeds with fun personalities of all types that go there, and being able to text them for quick updates throughout the day is so helpful.
Their extra services are great too – super helpful when you need a nail clipping or when Hazel’s feeling some spa time.

There’s no bond like the one between our furry best friends and us. We love our dogs and want to give them the best life possible. But it can be challenging to fulfill all their needs to stay healthy and happy for a lifetime. Doggy day care gives pups a place to play and learn in a safe environment, with the socialization, mental stimulation, and physical exercise their minds and bodies need to stay healthy for a lifetime.
- Dogs get to socialize. Dogs are social creatures. Positive experiences with new humans, new dogs, and new environments are essential to a well-rounded pup.
- Dogs learn social skills. Dogs learn from other dogs – they’re always teaching each other what is (and isn’t) appropriate social behavior. Doggy day care staff can also help support safe play and practice healthy social behaviors.
- Dogs get more exercise. Exercise helps your dog maintain a healthy weight and muscle tone while improving their mood and providing a healthy outlet for their physical and mental energy, meaning they can be more relaxed at home.
- Dogs get human attention. Your dog will get the care and love they need while you’re at work or school.
- Parents get a break. Doggy day care can give you a day off from responsibilities, while your dog gets what they need to be a healthier, more well-adjusted pet.
