Visiting BarkHaven

What should I do if my dog has an accident?

Accidents happen! Please clean up after your dog using the provided poop bags, trash cans, and hoses to maintain a sanitary environment.

Behavior & Safety

How should I manage my dog's barking?

Ensure your dog's barking is controlled to maintain a harmonious environment. The BarkHaven Pack Leaders may assist in managing excessive barking.

What happens if my dog shows signs of aggression?

It's crucial to closely monitor your dog for early signs of behavioral issues, such as aggression, excessive barking, dominance, mounting, or signs of over-stimulation and fear. Being proactive in addressing your dog’s behavior is key to maintaining a safe environment for everyone. Our Pack Leaders are also vigilant for these signs and may request that you leash your dog or relocate them to a quiet area for a cooldown.

Is there a policy for aggressive dogs?

Dogs that are aggressive or not well-socialized should not be brought to BarkHaven. Should your dog inflict bodily harm on another, your membership is subject to termination without a refund. However, we deeply care for all dogs, including the less sociable ones, and offer assistance in their socialization; please inquire with a team member for more information.

Visiting BarkHaven

What types of leashes and collars are allowed?

Please refrain from using retractable leashes or choke, prong, electric, or pinch collars. Collars with tags are encouraged.

Can I bring my own toys or treats?

No outside toys or treats are allowed in the off-leash play area; these may be distracting to dogs and can cause resource guarding.

Are food and drinks available?

Indeed, we offer an on-site food truck featuring a delectable menu, along with coffee, craft cocktails, and additional selections at our bar. We kindly request that guests do not bring in outside food or beverages.

How do I book a birthday party for my dog?
