Is your friendly dog excited to join Bark-A-Bout’s group playgroup and make new fur’ends? Bark-A-Bout requires each new dog to pass our Meet~N~Greet Enrollment Evaluation to ensure they are friendly in our social play environment. Our “Meet-N-Greet” program is intended to evaluate your dog’s personality and temperament after they become comfortable in their new surrounding, so that your dog can eventually earn “Full PlayGroup Certified Status”.
Dogs that have not participated in Bark-A-Bout’s group play while attending dog daycare or pet hotel within the past 12 months must go through another Meet~N~Greet evaluation in order to book an upcoming hotel reservation or doggy daycare stay. Male dogs 6 months and older must be neutered in order to enjoy doggy daycare.

“Absolutely love this place! The moment I entered the door I knew this is where my puppy needs to be! Everyone was kind and made our 1st day so pleasant! Very clean and so much space for plenty of exercise! The added extras are a plus as well!”
“We took our puppy Reggie for a Meet~N~Greet last week and he had a blast. At first he was a little scared, but by the afternoon he was running with the pack. We took our last dog to Bark-A-Bout many times and it has always been a safe and well-run business. Highly recommended!”
