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.

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.

FAQs about Enrichment Dog Day Care in Eugene

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.

Do I need to bring bedding, toys, or treats for my dog?

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.
