Dog Day Care benefits

A Healthy Balanced Day

Experience the perfect blend of play, exercise, socialization, learning, rest, and tender loving care at our Enrichment Dog Day Care. We understand that each dog is unique, and we tailor each day to meet their individual needs and preferences. Our goal is to nurture their bodies, minds, and senses, allowing you to enjoy a healthy, happy, calm, and well-rounded dog at home.

  • Play, Exercise, and Socialization: Regular exercise is crucial for your dog’s physical health and maintaining a healthy weight and muscle tone. It also improves their mood and provides an outlet for their mental and physical energy, resulting in a more relaxed demeanor at home. Positive experiences with humans, other dogs, and different environments contribute to the development of well-rounded and well-socialized dogs. We offer both small and large playgroups in safe and engaging indoor and outdoor areas.
  • Rest: Just like humans, dogs need ample rest and relaxation to maintain their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Our daily schedule is designed to prevent overstimulation and achieve the perfect balance of rest, play, and learning, promoting a harmonious and healthy day for your dog.
  • Learning: Dogs learn not only from humans but also from their interactions with other dogs. With our guidance, dogs teach each other appropriate social behaviors, fostering healthy play and interaction. Our highly trained staff utilizes positive training techniques to ensure safe play and help your dog practice positive social behaviors during their time at day care.
  • Love: When your dog joins our Enrichment Dog Day Care, they become a part of our family. We provide all the love and attention they need while you’re away, creating a bond that helps them feel comfortable and confident.

Commitment to Safety

Our #1 priority is the safety and well-being of our guests. As dog parents ourselves, we take great pride in treating every dog as our own. And we are committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for everyone that enters our facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s a Behavior Assessment and why is it important?

As part of joining the Central Bark® family, our expert staff conducts a thorough behavior assessment at your local Central Bark store. These assessments help ensure that your dog is placed with a playgroup they’re comfortable with so they can play safely every day they’re with us.

This four-day evaluation, while your dog participates in our Enrichment Day Care, assesses your dog’s:

  • Comfort and social skills with people 
  • Social skills and playstyle with other dogs to help determine the playgroup and play schedule they can benefit from the most
  • Comfort in both indoor and outdoor play spaces
  • Comfort in rest areas and a crate 
  • Ability to share resources like water and toys in social settings
  • Level of comfort taking treats in social settings

This process gives us a chance to get to know you and your dog while your dog gets acquainted with their new favorite place away from home. Through the entire four days, your dog’s comfort and safety is our top priority.

Once your pup passes all the behavior assessment elements, you are welcome to sign up for any of our daycare services or a sleepover!

To schedule a Behavior Assessment for your dog, please contact your local store.

NOTEPlease bring all required signed forms, vaccination proof, and a collar and leash for your behavior assessment.

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

Why choose doggy day care for your dog?

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.
