A typical Bark Lane day

A calm, structured routine
from drop-off to pick-up.

Update times/details to match how she runs the day in real life.

Morning arrivals

Dogs arrive and are welcomed into their groups. We let everyone settle, check how they’re feeling and ease them into the day.

Structured play & sniffing

Small-group play, sniffy walks and confidence-building games – tailored to age, personality and energy levels.

Rest & recharge

Proper rest time in cosy spaces. Dogs aren’t kept “on” all day – they’re encouraged to nap and decompress between activities.

Afternoon enrichment

Puzzle feeders, snuffle mats, training add-ons and calm one-to-one time so they go home mentally satisfied, not just physically tired.

Home time

We settle everyone before pickup and (if you’d like) share a quick update on how your dog got on that day.

School bus option

Selected routes benefit from the Bark Lane School Bus – collection in the morning and drop-off in the afternoon.

Not sure if daycare is right for your dog? A trial day and honest feedback from us will help you decide without pressure.
