A Healthy Balanced Day
Our Enrichment Dog Day Care offers an exceptional combination of activities to ensure your dog’s holistic well-being. Recognizing each dog’s uniqueness, we customize their day to meet their 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 vital for your dog’s physical health, weight management, and muscle tone. It also enhances their mood and provides an outlet for mental and physical energy, resulting in a more relaxed demeanor at home. Positive experiences with humans, other dogs, and various environments contribute to developing well-rounded and socially adept dogs. Our safe and engaging indoor and outdoor areas offer small and large playgroups.
- Rest: Just like humans, dogs require ample rest and relaxation to maintain their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Our carefully designed daily schedule prevents overstimulation and ensures a harmonious day for your dog by achieving the perfect balance of rest, play, and learning.
- Learning: Dogs learn not only from humans but also from their interactions with other dogs. Under our guidance, dogs teach each other appropriate social behaviors, fostering healthy play and interaction. Our highly trained staff utilizes positive training techniques to ensure a safe space and helps your dog practice positive social behaviors during day care.
- Love: When your dog becomes part of our Enrichment Dog Day Care, they become a cherished family member. 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.
Central Bark York 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.
Even if your dog isn’t high energy, it is great socialization.
You get the vibe the staff likes it too – the people who work here are amazing and always happy to have your pups for the day. There are many long-time employees, it’s feels good to really know who is watching my dogs.
Additionally, I have boarded and groomed my dogs here. They’ll groom while your dog is in daycare for the day. The grooming staff is excellent as well.
Boarding is flexible to meet the specific needs of your dog(s).
I could go on, 5/5 forever 😊 thanks for loving my dogs Central Bark!
FAQs about Enrichment Dog Day Care in York
Our One-on-One Enrichment sessions give your dog the freedom to safely explore their senses with an Enrichment Specialist. They’ll get the personal attention they love, supplemented with interactive toys, puzzles, and games that exercise their bodies and minds. They can also level up their skills with fitness training and agility exercises if they’re ready for more.
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.
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.
NOTE: Please bring all required signed forms, vaccination proof, and a collar and leash for your behavior assessment.
