Barking Policies

Policies are in place to ensure a pleasant experience for all of our guests

Barking Policy

We cannot have a dog ‘repetitive barking’, which is barking continuously for a period of 10 minutes. Excessive barking is not an ordinary occurrence even for puppies or first-time guests.

Excessive barkers will be handled at the discretion of K9 staff or asked not to return.

An additional charge may apply if a citronella anti-bark collar needs to be used because this method, although effective, is expensive to use.

No Pit Bull Policy

We love and respect all dog breeds. However, we feel that we are not equipped to keep or maintain Pit Bulls in our facility.

A pit bull is defined as any dog that is an American Pit Bull Terrier, an American Stafforshire Terrier, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, or any dog displaying the majority of physical traits of any one or more of these breeds.

There are many local facilities that will gladly look after you.
