Doggie Free Play 2011

Doggie Free Play is back for 2011!  Beginning on January 13 we’re going to have free play every Thursday night from 6pm to 7pm.  Depending on turnout on the first couple sessions we may split into two time slots and we’re currently limiting the group size to 8 dogs.

Cost is $10 for one session or $40 if you buy 5 in advance.

We ask that only friendly dogs attend.  A room monitor will supervise the group, but he or she will not necessarily be a trainer.  The room monitor will ask you to either temporarily restrain your dog, sit out for the session, or leave (depending on severity/frequency of negative behaviors) if your dog displays actions of dominance or aggression that may endanger or provoke other dogs or people in the room.  Sorry, no refunds for dogs that display this kind of behavior.

Please be sure to let your dog sniff around and go potty in the grass outside the store before coming in to play.  This is a good idea even if he went before getting in the car because there are lots of new smells and sights here.  We also recommend going outside for periodic potty breaks during free play.  If your dog goes potty in the play room it’s your job to clean up.  We’ll provide the cleaning supplies; however, if your dog has more than 3 accidents in the room you’ll be asked to sit out for the remainder of that day’s session.  We think that’s pretty reasonable for a 1 hour long session.

Dogs of all size are allowed, but they must be over 4 months old.

Group size is limited and attendance is allowed on first come first serve basis.  If you’d like to attend we recommend giving a call or an email.

UPDATE: Doggie Free Play is now being held on Saturdays from 4-5pm in addition to the Thursday time.
