Did you know we offer 4 different daycare options? 🐾

Not every dog thrives in the same environment, and that’s exactly why we built options that fit your dog.

🐶 Puppy Preschool (12 weeks–6 months)
A mix of play, socialization, enrichment, and light training to set your puppy up for success. 2 days/week recommended

🐾 Group
For our most social dogs! Small group play balanced with rest time in their own private cabin space.

🎾 Solo
Perfect for dogs who prefer people over pups, or enjoy more structured, 1:1 interactions. Includes enrichment, training, and dedicated time with staff.

🧠 Hybrid
Half group play, half 1:1 enrichment with staff. Great for adolescent dogs, working breeds, or pups who need a balance of social time and human connection.

🐾 Meet Happy! 🐾

His name suits him perfectly.

This brave little guy quickly made friends with Annie and Francis and showed us just how sweet and easygoing he is. When he wasn't socializing, Happy could be found soaking up the sunshine and taking relaxation very seriously.

Whether he's hanging out with friends or finding the perfect sunbathing spot, Happy seems to know exactly how to enjoy the good things in life and be...happy 🤣.

We're so excited to have this adorable boy at The Bark Yard! 💙

This sweet girl is full of personality! Poppy loves to zoom, play, and keep everyone smiling with her silly antics. She's friendly, fun-loving, and had a fantastic first day with us.

We're so excited to get to know this playful pup and can't wait to watch her confidence and friendships grow.

Welcome to The Bark Yard, Poppy! 💙🐾

Rufus takes fatherhood very seriously. 🐮❤️

Transportation methods? Questionable.

Commitment? Unmatched.

Meet Gary! 🐾❤️

Gary may be little, but he's got plenty of s***k! This sweet pup loves affection and wasted no time making a great first impression.

For day one, Gary showed lots of confidence with his puppy friends and was ready to jump right into the fun. We're excited to get to know this handsome guy as he learns, grows, and takes on the puppy program.

We can't wait to watch your journey, Gary. Welcome to The Bark Yard! ❤️🐾

Some dogs love wrestling. Some prefer chase games. Others enjoy gentle social interactions or would rather spend their day sniffing and exploring.

When groups stay small, we can thoughtfully match dogs based on play style, energy level, age, size, and social preferences. That means more appropriate play, more positive social experiences, and a daycare day that's actually enjoyable for each individual dog.

The goal isn't simply to put dogs together. It's to help them build confidence, have fun, and spend their day with companions that suit their unique personalities. 💚

That's one of the many reasons small groups are at the heart of everything we do at The Bark Yard.

Help us welcome Ellis to The Bark Yard! 🐾❤️

Ellis is a sweet girl who's a little shy at first, but she's quick to make friends when hot dogs are involved! 🌭😉

While she was a bit unsure in group on her first day, she showed interest in the other dogs and has already started taking steps toward building confidence. We love seeing pups explore new experiences at their own pace, and Ellis is off to a great start.

We're excited to watch this lovely lady continue to grow, learn, and come out of her shell. Welcome, Ellis! ❤️🐾
