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.
