The Bark

"My favorite place! When I adopted my dog, he was basically a cat. He was terrified of other dogs, didn’t know how to play, and had terrible anxiety. First couple of visits were a nightmare for him. He was so nervous. After a few months coming here, he’s a totally different dog, even at home! He’s so social now, loves to play, and gets so excited at the end of my work day because he knows we’re about to head to The Bark. As a human, I also greatly enjoy my time here. Great selection of beer, and generally great vibes. This place can completely turn a bad day around. 10/10 recommend"

"First impressions: A much better dog park experience than a public one. It is a business, currently $12/day or $50/month. There were 10+ dogs of all sizes just having a blast even in the June heat. With the bar having great prices I sat under a sun sail and relaxed while watching all the play time unfold in front of me. The park ranger kept a good eye out for any hijinks which was awesome. The pup is more tired out and happy looking though than just after a walk so I may have to do the membership! They have classes as well, more $, that I haven't tried yet. Also doggy daycare and boarding that we've not done."

"Due to me becoming ill, and then my mother unexpectedly passing, I over boarded my 6 year old rescue, Juno, at another facility. This resulted in her losing the ground we had covered the 2 years I had her, before July ‘22. The anxious, timid dog I adopted in 2020 had become a confident, happy & spunky girl with lots of love and attention from me. However, in Nov ‘22, I got a call from the facility that was boarding her that she was biting at staff and the other dogs. I went to pick her up and kept her home with me for a couple of months, giving her some extra TLC. However, I found that I was going to have to get some help with her care. After researching my options, I contacted The Bark to set her up with their Board and Train program, with focus on anxiety and aggression. Well, the team at The Bark completely turned the situation around and got Juno back to the confident, happy & spunky dog that she had been prior to me over boarding her. Allison, the Board and Train Specialist and Auburn, the Certified Trainer on staff, went above and beyond to help Juno feel secure and to train her to better regulate the reactivity that had reached an all time high at the other facility. They also worked with both of us to show us how we could manage better together, considering my physical limitations. Allison, Auburn and the rest of the team treated Juno as if she were their own. Juno adores them and loves going to see them and to play at The Bark! Juno is playing fabulously with her new dog friends there!"

"My dogs love The Bark! I recently boarded my 3 dogs there for a few nights, and it felt like the first real vacation I’ve had in 10 years because I knew they were in good hands and I didn’t have to worry at all. One of my dogs is fearful and dog reactive, and she needs a dog-savvy pet sitter. Not only did the staff follow her instructions to a T, they took extra time to go at her pace and make her feel comfortable. I got report cards at the end of every day, and the staff really made me feel like they cared about my dogs like they were their own. They got to stay in their own little hotel room, and boarding them was less expensive than hiring an in-home sitter. Cannot recommend them enough!"

"Tucker, my wife, and I had an absolute BLAST at The Bark! Very affordable entry fee, wide selection of drinks (Alcoholic and Non Alcoholic), and friendly and attentive staff. I love that vaccinations are required, your dog must be neutered/spayed, and that your dog must pass a behavior test. For "over protective" dog owners like us it's definitely nice to be able to go here without feeling worried about whether or not everyone else's dogs are taken care of and will behave themselves. :D Will definitely be going back and highly recommend!"
