I can’t say enough good things about this daycare! As a protective dog mom, I was really nervous about leaving my rescue pup, Zoe, but after a lot of research, this was the perfect place. I love that they focus on small group play and carefully match dogs based on size and energy levels. It’s not just throwing them in a room and saying, “Good luck, pups!”—they truly understand dog play, making sure it’s safe, structured, and balanced with breaks in between.
They also keep things exciting with add-on activities like agility and sniff rooms, keeping Zoe mentally and physically engaged. What also really sets them apart is how well they get to know each dog as an individual. The staff is always so kind, and it’s clear they truly love what they do.
I’ve also done training with them, which was a huge help—not just for Zoe but really for me. It had been a long time since I had a puppy, and their guidance made all the difference.
I feel completely safe leaving Zoe here, and she absolutely loves it. If you’re looking for a daycare where your dog will be loved, understood, and well cared for, this is the place.

Harley's been with TBY for about 7 months now and he absolutely loves it! His butt goes into overdrive when we arrive, he can hardly contain his joy!! Staff members are always helpful to pawrents and shower our pups with so much love & attention! Harley gets a variety of stimulation, not just hanging out with other dogs. From sniffaris to loose leash walks, bark boards to pupcicles, and ball pits to agility training Harley gets to try everything!!

Our Edie has been to the Bark Yard for daycare and boarding. They are amazing! Everyone there is so friendly and takes such great care of our pup. They take the time to get to know your dog and provide them with the care and love they need. They go above and beyond to offer things that set them apart from all others. When I asked Britt how she remembered the names of all of the dogs her reply was, “They’re my friends!” Highly recommend them!

I adore this place and all the lovely humans within! My boy Indy has gone to many daycares the past 5yrs due to traveling. He has also been rejected from some daycares due to him not fitting in the “happy-go-lucky loves everything and everyone” standard. A lot of places we have checked out have groups of 20-30+ dogs with limited counselors. We cannot expect all different dogs to be able to coexist the same way in an overstimulating group of that size. The Bark Yard works harder and smarter! They have smaller groups where Britt and her team are able to cater to each individual dogs needs/personalities. They are very inviting, communicative and adaptable to both clients and their pets. They make me and Indy feel safe! It’s important to trust in those you are leaving your furbabies with. Highly recommend!!

I love The Bark Yard and so does my girl Miss Moxi Mae-hem. They take great care of her during the day. She has made lots of friends human and Doggie. She gets so excited when we arrive. I would recommend The Bark Yard to everyone who wants to feel like their dog is just as safe and loved as here as they are at home♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
