Enrichment for Dogs
The key to a happy and healthy dog is regular enrichment and allowing them to engage in their innate behaviors, such as playing, chasing, smelling, chewing and scavenging. By allowing your dog to engage in these behaviors, you allow them to be physically, emotionally and mentally satisfied. Dogs who don’t receive stimulation tend to find ways to enrich themselves, resulting in unwanted behaviours. At emBARK Daycare, we offer various enrichment puzzles and games to engage and stimulate our dogs throughout the day.
A Day at emBARK
6:00 AM: Opening Time
We open early every weekday morning to greet old friends and meet new ones. A friendly staff member will welcome each dog into the daycare.
9:30 AM: Play Time
It’s group work out time with ball games and upbeat music to release some energy. Our staff carefully monitor play groups to ensure the safety of all dogs.
12:00 PM: Lunch Time
Our staff cater to your dog’s every need, including all medication administration and dietary requirements. Each dog can enjoy their meal time in a private area with the food provided by you.
2:00 PM: Nap Time
We provide comfy dog beds and private space for the pups that need a quick nap after an intense work out. Each dog is routinely taken to our fenced outdoor area for potty time. This routine ensures dogs who have been potty trained don’t lose their good habit.
4:30 PM: Home Time
As pickups begin, some dogs may get anxious to see their friends leaving. Dogs who are getting picked up are quickly removed from the play area to minimize disruptions for the group.
6:00 PM: Cleaning Time
Once the last pet guest has gone home, our staff thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the entire premise with dog-safe cleaning agents to ensure the space is spotless for the next day.
