A Well-Balanced, Healthy Day

Our goal is to cultivate their physical, mental, and sensory well-being, ensuring you have a content, joyful, serene, and all-around dog companion at home.

  • Play, Exercise, and Socialization – Physical activity aids in keeping your dog’s weight in check and muscles robust. It additionally elevates their spirits and offers an avenue for expending energy, leading to a calmer disposition at home. Our offerings encompass secure indoor and outdoor play areas, with both small and large playgroups tailored to your dog’s age, temperament, and comfort.
  • Rest – Rest is a vital component of your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional health. Following play and social interaction, they require moments of relaxation and rejuvenation. Our daily routine emphasizes a harmonious blend of rest, play, and learning, ensuring optimal well-being by averting overstimulation and fostering holistic health.
  • Learning – Dogs acquire skills from people and other canines; our knowledgeable staff helps them through constructive training methods. They instruct your dog in safe play and promote beneficial relationships. Dogs at our daycare facility in Sussex continuously learn new habits and social skills from their fellow dogs.
  • Love – Your dog will become part of our family and get all the love and attention they need while you’re away. We develop a bond with your dog to help them feel comfortable and confident. With regular attendance, we get to know your dog’s personality, needs, and preferences. We are better able to recognize things that might otherwise go unnoticed, like moods, behavioral changes, or even health issues.

Commitment to Safety

The safety and well-being of your dog are our top prioritiesAs fellow dog parents, we recognize the significance of treating each dog as a cherished member. Our commitment lies in establishing a safe and nurturing atmosphere for all who come to our facility.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there outdoor play areas?

Central Bark® has outdoor facilities complete with swimming pools and cooling systems for the summer.

How Does Central Bark Handle Feeding for My Dog During the Day?

We are happy to accommodate your dog’s feeding schedule as part of their “Rest Period Enrichments.” Simply bring their food in pre-portioned containers with clear instructions. Our trained staff will ensure your dog receives their meal in a private, quiet space. We are also experienced in handling a variety of specific needs, including day care for dogs with allergies and medication administration, though additional fees may apply.

What Happens if My Dog Gets Into a Disagreement With Another Dog?

Our top priority is the safety of every dog in our care. Our staff members are not only highly trained but also “fluent in dog speak,” which means they can read canine body language and behavior cues. Our rigorous dog day care safety protocols use a science-based positive reinforcement approach to constantly monitor and manage play. We believe in proactive and preventative care, working to de-escalate potential issues before they start, which is a key part of how dog day care handles disagreements and maintains a secure environment for all dogs.

What should I bring to Doggy Day Care?

Once you have enrolled, we will need a copy of your dog’s vaccination records, which you can upload to your online account or bring with you on your scheduled first day. We also ask that your dog comes in on a regular 6-foot flat leash (no retractable or flexi-leads in the lobby) and a quick-release collar. Not sure what a quick-release collar is? No problem! We’ll be happy to show you on your first day. If your dog usually wears a harness while walking, you’re welcome to bring that as well.

If your dog typically eats a midday meal, you can bring it in an airtight container clearly labeled with your dog’s first and last names.
