Our main goal is to improve your dog’s life in every way. We do this through fun activities that help dogs learn and feel confident. You can relax knowing your dog is having a great time with its friends. Enrichment Dog Day Care is what we’re best at, and nobody does it better than us.

A Healthy Balanced Day

Enrichment Dog Day Care offers a mix of play, exercise, making friends, learning, relaxing, and love. We customize each day to fit your dog’s likes and needs. This helps keep their body, mind, and senses healthy, so you can have a happy, calm, and well-behaved dog at home.

  • Play, Exercise, and Making Friends – Playing and exercising helps your dog stay fit and happy. It also helps them release energy and feel more relaxed later. Meeting new people, dogs, and exploring new places helps them become social and friendly. We have different play areas for dogs of different sizes and personalities.
  • Rest — After all the fun, dogs need to rest and recharge. Our schedule ensures that dogs get enough rest, play, and learn without getting too tired.
  • Learning – Dogs learn from us and from other dogs. Our trained staff use positive methods to teach good behavior and help dogs learn to play safely.
  • Love – When your dog is with us, it becomes part of our family. We give it all the attention and care it needs. By spending time with it regularly, we get to know its personality and can spot any changes or problems early on.

Commitment to Safety

The safety and happiness of our guests are our top concerns. We’re dog parents too, so we treat every dog like they’re part of our family. We promise to keep our place safe and healthy for everyone who comes here.

Central Bark® Enrichment Dog Day Care Features:

Dogs at doggy day care charlotte

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.
