Stress-Free Doggy Daycare in Wake Forest, NC
Our doggy daycare is our most popular service! Dogs visiting Audrey’s Barkyard for a play day get roughly 6 hours of play. We typically separate the dogs into 3 groups; smaller/older dogs and 2 rowdy, playful groups that consist of our bigger guests. We have tons of dogs that are our ‘regulars’ and form their own little cliques; because of that we try to always put the dogs that are best friends in the same group! Be sure to ask about our daycare packages to save yourself some money and don’t forget to peek in on the cameras to watch your pet having fun!!

My mom takes me to Audrey’s Barkyard while she goes to work. I know I am going to have a great day when she tells me to get in the car to go see my friends. I LOVE to play with my dog friends and I really LOVE all of the incredibly sweet, fun and loving humans that take care of me like family. My mom is so happy to see me when she picks me up and I’m so tired from playing all day that I take great naps. My family is so thankful to have such a wonderful place for me to play!
Absolutely fabulous place. Audrey’s Barkyard loves loves loves what they do and it shows. They pamper and treat their pups and owners with so much love. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!
We were so lucky to find Mark Herrmann to train our dog. We are first time dog owners. Mark was approachable, thoughtful, a great communicator, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping us. He also loves dogs. I called about a dozen places and when I spoke with Mark, I knew he was a good fit. He was very interested in hearing what we needed and what our dogs unique needs were. He had a set of lesson plans which he provided to us and these were helpful. He also made adjustments based on us and our dog. He spent time getting to know our dog and observing his personality, behavior, and temperament. He was good at giving us feedback on our practice. One of the best things about Mark is he really addressed the issues that all of us were facing with this new dog. For example, I have a history of being afraid of dogs, and my daughter loves dogs and always wants to play with them. I felt like Mark got to know us in just four sessions and he did become our friend. Later an issue came up with the dog and I contacted him just as he had said we could. He came to the house, free of charge, and helped with the issue which was a big relief! He contacted me later to follow up. He even checked in to see how our dog was doing after neutering surgery!
'We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and we are so grateful for Audrey’s and Mark!
