Day Care Activities
Our tailored approach incorporates a diverse range of physical and mental stimulation activities to provide an enriching environment for every dog. ​
​
Find the Treat
Uses a dog's natural foraging instincts and encourages healthy sniffing behaviours. This game is great for improving a dog's problem-solving skills.


Group Playtime
Dog's socialise with each other and engage in physical play activities. This helps them to learn how to behave around other dogs, increase their confidence, and gain plentiful amounts of exercise.
1 to 1 Playtime
Most dogs need at least 30 minutes of mental stimulation each day, but some breeds like Border Collies need more.
We provide one-to-one solo play sessions to ensure every dog gets just the right amount of stimulation they need.


Group Swimming
Dogs have a natural instinct for swimming.
THE BARK PARK is fortunate to have its own access to the River Calder, where dogs in small groups can swim and play together.
It's all about stimulation. And fun.
At THE BARK PARK, we believe in enriching each dog’s day care experience with mental and physical stimulation sessions that not only enhance their overall mood and mental well-being but also cater to their unique needs and abilities.
