Whole Dog Care: Enrichment Day Care, Training, Boarding, & Grooming.

Central Bark Durham has enrichment daycare services, which take doggy daycare to a whole new level! It combines our industry-leading expertise with the latest dog behavior science and positive dog training principles. Your dog can enjoy a fun and healthy day tailored to him or her, with the proper amount of play, mental and physical exercise, socialization, training, rest, and love he/she needs to be healthy, happy, and well-rounded. We also provide dog grooming (salon & spa), dog boarding (sleepovers), and other dog-related services and products right inside our store. We believe in our Whole Dog Care approach to nurture and enrich your dog's well-being - throughout his or her life.

Shorter days and busier schedules can make it harder to fit in all the activity your dog is used to.

Regular opportunities to play, socialize, explore, and use their brain can help keep dogs active and engaged even when routines change. Enrichment Dog Daycare gives them a day built around those needs, with plenty of activity and time to recharge.

Keep their routine going this fall:

We know your dog has a nickname. Maybe even two. Or five. And chances are, at least one of them sounds nothing like their actual name.

Tell us your dog’s name and the nickname you use most!

Does your puppy think every dog they see is their new best friend? 🐶🐾

Learning how to interact with other puppies is part of growing up. Puppy Hour gives young pups a safe, supervised place to play, meet other puppies, and practice those early social skills.

And the best part? Puppy Hour is FREE.
