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.

Our dog socialization day care is built on a unique system of “flexible playgroups” to ensure a safe and positive social environment for every dog. We carefully match your dog with friends based on their age, personality, size, and play style, creating a balanced and stress-free environment. This is especially beneficial for day care for dogs with anxiety or shy puppies, as it provides a low-pressure way for them to build confidence and have a great time.
Central Bark® has outdoor facilities complete with swimming pools and cooling systems for the summer.
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.
