Frequently asked questions
What is the first step to use The Barker Lounge?
All new dogs must complete a free Meet & Greet, a carefully designed process to ensure compatibility with the group play environment. The facility encourages planning in advance, as they accept only a handful of new dogs each day and there may be a wait of a few weeks or months.
What happens during daycare and boarding at The Barker Lounge?
Dogs participate in all-day group play throughout their stay, with breaks only for meals and sleep. The program is designed to enrich dogs mentally, physically, and socially rather than simply occupy them.
What amenities does the facility offer?
The Barker Lounge has over 9,000 square feet of cage-less indoor and outdoor play areas, 24-hour monitored security cameras throughout the facility, climate control, a state-of-the-art air purification system, and standard and luxury private boarding suites to accommodate individual dogs or multiple dogs from the same family.
