We're a new breed of dog park, so naturally, there will be questions.

can i drop off my dog?

DOG PPL is for dogs and their humans to enjoy together, meaning you must be inside the park with your dog at all times. Our trained Rufferees can help you relax, but leaving your dog on the premises may lead to a revocation of membership.

Can I Work from the park?

This is a big one! as we realize this is important for most members.

Catch up on emails? get ahead of the morning start? wrap the work day here? sure! - Although with that said: this space is as a community for dog lovers, a social space is the priority here. Most importantly a safe environment for dogs. To ensure this, we ask our human guests to always be aware and attentive when needed to your dog(s)

As a courtesy to all members please limit the work time here to no more than 60 minutes. We are not a substitute for a Co-Work or your home office, but we are indeed all about your own productivity while your dog plays.

Less Zoom, more Zoomies!

How many dogs can I bring?

The memberships at DOG PPL are for the dogs. You can get a membership for one, two, or three dogs. If you have more than three dogs per household, please contact us! This can be approved on a case-by-case basis.

Can my partner use my membership?

Sure can! your partner would need to also have an account made on the website and the waiver signed when creating an account. They just need to say the account holder email when checking in!

Are you open rain or shine? 

Mostly! Unlike most traditional dog parks, our turf facility stays clean, safe, and fun despite weather conditions.​ Special circumstances are on a case-by-case basis and you should be notified by email and socials if any closure takes place.

do you have breed restrictions?

Absolutely not! All well-socialized and vaccinated dogs over 4 months of age are welcome at DOG PPL.

Are Children Allowed?

Currently, children under 16 yrs are not permitted in the park, this is due to safety, regulations and protecting the energy of the dogs in the park.

do dogs have to be spayed or neutered to visit the park?

Yes - for the safety of our members, all dog 8 months and older must be spayed or neutered. Dogs who are not "fixed" will probably not do well in a setting where most dogs are. Simply, because they smell very different than those dogs who are neutered or spayed and will become the center of attention in a pack setting. Those dogs may feel picked on or receive far too much attention for their comfort level. This can result in a dog fight.

My dog is not fixed, but is really well behaved, can they still come?

Sorry, no. Intact males and unspayed females smell different. Other dogs will often single them out and treat them poorly by picking on them or not allowing them to interact with the group. Also, accidents can and do happen and we can't make any exceptions to our policy. Remember, puppies can attend puppy events up until they're seven months / ready for spaying or neutering.

Do Neutering Alternatives count?

Sorry, no. Intact males and unspayed females smell different. - Particularly in males, Neutering alternatives such as sterilizations (Zeuterin) and vasectomy's don't stop the production of testosterone which is the main driver behind issues with in-tact males in the park. 

Whats the wifi?

Can My Dog Walker Bring my dogs to the park

How do I join?

This is a perfect opportunity for our trained park attendants to assess your dog(s) temperament.

What’s the difference between DOG PPL AND Public dog parks?

Everything! First and foremost, DOG PPL is a private park, which allows us to prioritize safety and comfort. Upon applying for a membership, we ensure all the applicants are up to date on their health records and pass a temperament test. Additionally, we keep facilities clean, sanitized, and we cater to our human friends too via the bar, cafe, lounge areas, and events. 

Is there a small dog section?

Some DOG PPL Parks will offer areas for more 'mellow' personality types, this space is available when not being used for Park activations.

 

Since we believe all dogs are created equal, we have learned that when managed properly, dividing the park is not necessary. Our Rufferees are trained to ensure harmony among friends of all shapes and sizes. 

Is there an age restriction?

DOG PPL is a 16+ venue to ensure the safety of the dogs and their guests. 

can i go without a membership?

guests without dogs may enter with active membership holders provided they have an account made on the website with the waiver signed upon creating the account.

Do you have grooming?

Grooming is available in the park, Friday & Saturday from 9am - 5pm

Can I bring my own food, drinks, or dog treats?

Outside food, drinks, glass containers, and dog treats are not permitted to ensure the dogs' safety. However, we have a full kitchen, food truck, bar & cafe!

is smoking allowed inside the park?

Smoking and vaping is not permitted inside or around the premesis, as it is proven to be a health risk for our members (our dogs).
