What if my dog has an accident?
Our event will have access to outdoor space and Pooch Patches throughout the venue. If an accident happens, owners are responsible for cleaning up their dog(s)' waste. There are doggy waste bags and cleaning stations for your use. Bark Rangers (our staff) can assist.
How do you ensure the safety of the dogs at the dog bar?
a) All dogs entering the facility are vetted according to our policies (they must meet the requirements for vaccinations, and behaviour).
b) Bark Rangers monitor the facility to ensure that it is clean, safe and dogs are playing happily. Bark Rangers will be trained on canine body language and are prepared and equipped to deal with a variety of situations. This may include using a sound horn to separate dogs and asking dogs with an aggressive play style to take a break or come back another time. For dogs which have repeated aggressive behaviour/ warning signs, we will ask owner to visit us again once their dog has completed a behavioural workshop.
Are there any restrictions on dogs who can enter?
Yes, all dogs must be over four months old and have their vaccines. Dogs must also be spayed/neutered (if over 1-years old). Dogs, should be comfortable and familiar with dog parks.
Do I have to watch my dog when I'm at Mutts in the 6ix or is that the Bark Rangers job?
Just like a regular dog park, you should always have your dog in sight and be paying attention to their body language. Check out this video on how to set your dog up for success at a dog bar.
How do you handle aggressive or misbehaving dogs?
It is the owners responsibility to remove their dog from aggressive situations. For the safety of our Bark Rangers, the responsibility lies on the owner. That said, our staff are trained to look for body language where a dog may pose a risk. In these situations, a Bark Ranger may use their equipment to separate dogs (dog correction horn or squeaker) and ask you to put your dog in a separate section of the facility to cool off or to try coming back another time.
Are there any limitations on the number of dogs allowed per person?
Yes, two per person.
Is the dog bar suitable for puppies and elder dogs?
We welcome dogs of all ages, but please be attentive, as we want to avoid any play injuries. For senior dogs, it may be best to come at a less busy time.
Can I bring my dogs favourite toy?
We will have more than enough amenities so you won't need to. We ask that you do not bring in any outside toys into the facility to reduce resource guarding.
Can I rent out a section for a party?
Absolutely!
