A Healthy Balanced Day
Enrichment Dog Day Care is committed to providing a well-rounded experience for your furry friend. We recognize the individuality of each dog, tailoring their day to cater to their specific needs and preferences. Our ultimate objective is to nurture their bodies, minds, and senses, resulting in a healthy, happy, and well-balanced dog.
- Our program offers a diverse range of activities, including playtime, exercise, socialization, learning, rest, and tender loving care. Exercise plays a vital role in maintaining your dog’s healthy weight, muscle tone, and overall mood, providing a healthy outlet for their physical and mental energy. Positive social experiences with humans, dogs, and different environments promote a well-rounded and socially adept dog. We provide both small and large playgroups in indoor and outdoor areas, designed to accommodate your dog’s age, personality, and comfort level.
- Rest is crucial for your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Our daily schedule ensures a proper balance of rest, play, and learning, helping them avoid overstimulation and achieve optimal health.
- Our highly trained staff utilizes positive training techniques to encourage safe play and foster healthy social behaviors. Dogs learn from humans and other dogs, and our guidance ensures they acquire appropriate social skills during their time at day care.
- Lastly, we understand the significance of love and affection. Your dog becomes a part of our family, and we strive to develop a strong bond with each dog to help them feel comfortable and confident. Regular attendance allows us to understand your dog’s unique personality, needs, and preferences. This enables us to promptly recognize any changes, such as mood or behavior, that may indicate potential health issues.
Commitment to Safety
At Central Bark Dog Day Care, safety is our utmost priority. As fellow dog parents, we deeply comprehend the significance of creating a secure and healthy environment for all our furry guests. Treating every dog as if they were our own, we take immense pride in ensuring their well-being throughout their stay with us.
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.
Beth K. Frequently Asked Questions
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!
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.
