Our Enrichment Daycare Program Targets Your Dog’s Social, Emotional, and Physical Wellness
Enrichment toys and activities engage your dog’s five senses, natural instincts, skills, and physical abilities during purposeful play. Brain games are designed to challenge your dog to think, problem-solve and stay active mentally, physically and emotionally. In our Dog Daycare setting, enrichment activities offer personal attention, reinforcement of social manners and effective training that help your dog minimize destructive behaviors and reach their full potential..

Sample Full-Day Enrichment Daycare Schedule:
.
Bark-A-Bout Enrichment Coach will offer endless fun by crafting a custom, comprehensive learning curriculum that fully embraces your dog’s unique learning style. To reduce over-exhaustion and reinvigorate your pup for each round of fun, Bark-A-Bout is applying interval training techniques and incorporating carefully-timed rest breaks into our play sessions. Your dog will enjoy more exhilarating shorter-timed play sessions that will surely send home a tired and content pup.
