Enrichment Dog Day Care

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

FREE Puppy Hour

Central Bark’s Free Puppy Hour starts your puppy’s socialization the right way. This safe, supervised play session helps puppies build confidence, social skills, and healthy play habits during their most important developmental stage (8-16 weeks). Guided by trained enrichment specialists, puppies explore new sights, sounds, and friends while burning energy and learning healthy habits. Pet parents also get expert training tips and support. It’s a fun, stress-free way to nurture a well-rounded, confident puppy — at no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it ok to board your dog?

Yes! When your dog spends the night with us, we do everything we can to ensure your dog has a safe place where they can feel well-rested. 

Sleepovers at Central Bark® offer your dog a calm, relaxing sleepover in a place they can feel comfortable and loved. Because they’re in a familiar place, they can feel less stressed about being away from home (and so will you). A full day of Doggy Day Care is included with your sleepover stay.
