Doggie Playcare
Our Doggie Playcare gives your dog an opportunity to play with other dogs in a well supervised indoor environment. Our staff loves dogs and loves caring for them. They are knowledgeable about dog's behavior and want all dogs to have the most fun possible without compromising on the safety or the health and well being of each and every dog.

We get to know each dog and will share our observations with you daily. Dogs are taken on daily walks. And although they can play all day long, we will schedule quiet time and a nap for those dogs who could use a little rest in between play periods.

Each dog that is in Doggie PlayCare must be up-to-date on all vaccinations as required by law, including rabies and distemper. Bordatella (kennel cough) must be current annually. All dogs over the age of 8 months must be spayed or neutered. Dogs must be healthy to participate on any given day.

Dogs must first be evaluated by one of our Trained PlayCare Staff prior to his or her first day of Doggie PlayCare. We recommend allowing your dog to spend up to 2 hours with us (at no charge), to give your dog an opportunity to get to know the Studio and interact with other dogs. Our main concern is that your dog will enjoy playing well with others safely.

A Bark Place PlayCare Application* must be filled out prior to each dog participating in Doggie PlayCare.

Open Play at The PlayCare Studio
Open Play sessions are Saturdays 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at Bark Place's PlayCare Studios for an introductory rate of $5.00 per session. Dogs play off leash under their owner's supervision. Our playground equipment facilitates fun and safe play for all dogs. Its best to keep play periods short and fun for your dog. It may take 3 play sessions before your dog is confident and comfortable with an open play format, but most dogs will love it. The Open Playground Waiver Form* must be filled out prior to each dog participating in Bark Place's PlayCare Studio.

Open Play Rules

	Bark Place Assumption of Risk Form must be filled out first. Our top priority is for dogs to have fun in a SAFE environment.
	Your dog must play well with others.
	All Dogs must be OFF Leash - and wear a flat collar - in the Play Area. (In all other areas of Bark Place, dogs must be ON Leash)
	All Dogs must be under constant control and supervision of their Owners.
	Children must be under supervision of their parent and not be in the middle of the Play area.
	No Food or Fetch Toys in Play Area
	No female dogs in season
	We will accept all breeds of dogs for open play or daycare. If a dog can't play well with others that day, they may be asked to leave.
	No Running (Humans)
	Be calm around the Play Area and try not to over react if there is an eruption between dogs. It is normal for a new dog to growl to set limits. Often a Big NO will be enough to redirect the dogs. Absolutely never put yourself or your hands in the middle to try and separate 2 dogs.
	If your dog has an accident please clean it up promptly so that the environment is safe and sanitary for all.
