New dogs must complete a free Meet & Greet, a carefully designed process to ensure compatibility with the group play environment. The facility accepts only a handful of new dogs each day, so scheduling may require a wait of a few weeks or months.
What happens during daycare and boarding at The Barker Lounge?
All daycare and overnight boarding guests participate in all-day group play. Dogs take breaks only to eat and sleep. The program is designed to enrich dogs mentally, physically, and socially through playgroups and exercise.
