Central Bark’s Enrichment Dog Day Care offers more than playtime — it nurtures your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. With small playgroups based on size, temperament, and playstyle, we create a safe, structured environment where dogs build confidence, learn good manners, and enjoy healthy socialization. Our enrichment activities, routine schedules, and trained enrichment specialists provide positive interaction, exercise, and rest so your dog goes home happy, tired, and fulfilled.

Boarding

Boarding

Central Bark dog boarding provides a safe, cozy home-away-from-home where your pup can rest comfortably while you’re away. Our team offers attentive, individualized care with plenty of enrichment, affection, and routine to help your dog feel secure. Each guest enjoys a clean, comfortable sleeping space, regular potty breaks, and caring supervision from people who know dogs well. Relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and cared for like one of our own.

Training

Training

Central Bark’s dog training helps to build confidence, manners, and lifelong skills using force-free, positive reinforcement methods. Our dog trainers offer classes for puppies and adults, from basic obedience to more advanced skills. Training can also be integrated into our dog day care for active learning, socialization, and mental enrichment. With individualized sessions and options during day care, pups learn through play, enrichment, and structure. The result? A calmer, happier dog with better habits at home.

Training

FREE Puppy Hour

Central Bark’s Free Puppy Hour starts your puppy’s socialization the right way.

It’s a fun, stress-free way to nurture a well-rounded, confident puppy — at no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I help my dog prepare for their first boarding stay?

A little preparation can make a first boarding stay easier. Make sure required records and enrollment steps are complete, share important information about your dog’s routine, feeding, medications, behavior, and comfort needs, and follow your local Central Bark’s packing guidance. If your dog is new to the location, ask whether a day care visit, assessment, or other introductory experience is recommended before an overnight stay.

Can you give my dog their medication?

Yes. Medication administration is an add-on service. Please let our team know at the time

of booking if you require this service.

Do groomers sedate dogs?

No. Central Bark groomers do not sedate dogs or make decisions about sedative or anti-anxiety medications. If your dog experiences significant stress or anxiety during grooming, talk with your veterinarian about the best approach for your dog and let your Central Bark grooming team know about any medications or special needs before scheduling or arriving for an appointment.

How do I know if dog day care is right for my dog?

Dog day care can be a great fit for dogs who benefit from a structured routine that includes supervised play, enrichment, learning, rest, and social experiences. Every dog is different, so factors such as age, personality, energy level, play style, comfort around other dogs and people, and individual needs can help determine whether day care is the right fit. At Central Bark, we get to know each dog individually and use our enrollment and assessment process to help create an experience that supports their comfort, safety, and well-being.
