Daycare Designed Around Your Dog
Western North Carolina’s only enrichment-focused daycare experience—where every day combines purposeful play, mental stimulation, individual attention and plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore and discover.
This isn’t a room full of dogs entertaining one another. It’s a thoughtfully planned day created around what makes your dog feel engaged, confident and fulfilled.
Western North Carolina's Only Enrichment-Focused Daycare Experience
Not Traditional Daycare. Something More Thoughtful.
PERSONALIZED
DAYS
We learn what motivates your dog and select experiences that fit their interests, confidence and energy level.
INDIVIDUAL
ATTENTION
Activities are guided by caregivers, allowing dogs to engage without the pressure and unpredictability of a large playgroup.
MONTHLY
ADVENTURES
Every month introduces an imaginative new world, with fresh stories, environments and activities to explore.
PURPOSEFUL
ENRICHMENT
Scent work, puzzles, movement, sensory discovery and social connection engage more than your dog’s body.
DEDICATED
SCENT SPACE
Dogs can use their most powerful sense to investigate changing scents, objects and environments.

Every Month, a New Barksville Adventure
Each month, the dogs of Barksville enter a completely new world. The story makes it fun. Purposeful activities encourage dogs to sniff, search, problem-solve, explore, and build confidence.
NOW IN BARKSVILLE
Monsters
Something spooky has escaped into Barksville… and your dog’s nose may be our last hope.
This October, our Barksvillians join the Canine Monster Hunters for a month of mysterious scent trails, enchanted puzzles, haunted adventures, and heroic discoveries. Every week brings a new destination, a new villain, and a new mission—all leading to one final hunt to save Halloween.
