As a dog park bar, we can only have visitors over 21.

How many dogs can I bring?

You can get a membership for 1, 2 or 3 dogs, but you are only allowed 2 dogs per person on site. If you have more than 2 dogs a partner or friend must accompany you.

Are you open rain or shine?

Yes, unlike most traditional dog parks our turf stays clean, safe and fun
despite the weather. We also have heaters to keep you warm while your dogs
are playing.

How is undesired behavior handled?

Undesired behavior can be described as the following; jumping, mounting and excessive barking and overly rough play and bullying. To keep the park enjoyable for everyone we use several methods to redirect the unwanted behavior. Verbal commands, separation from play mates, time outs and/or removal from the park.

These are not punishments but ways of correcting behavior to keep it safe and fun for everyone.

If the unwanted behaviors continue we may require you and your dog to complete a dog training course.

What if my dog likes to observe but not engage with other dogs?

Our on-leash area is perfect for that. We will have cots that indicate “In Training or I like my space”

What if an injury happens?

Our park supervisors are there to assist in any situation and will have minor first-aid items on hand.

Ultimately we want to redirect behavior before an injury can happen.
