Cheers to Happy Dogs!

What should I know as a 1st time visitor?

We are so excited to have you visit!
All humans are free and we are a 21 plus environment.
All dogs visiting must have an account with vaccines.
Dogs using the off-leash park have a fee.
Dogs staying on-leash inside or on the patio are free.

What is required for my dog to visit IPA?

Your dog should have up to date vaccines; Distemper, Bordetella, Rabies
Be 3 months or older and be spayed or neutered by 12 months if playing in the park.
Dogs must be friendly to people and other dogs.
All dogs should be with their current owner for 30 days prior to visiting IPA

Can I leave my dog in the park while I work inside?

IPA was created for you and your dog to enjoy together. So we do require you to stay on-site with your dog.

Can my pet sitter or walker bring my dog with my membership?

Yes, the membership is for your dog. Although you are responsible for your dogs behavior, friends and family can bring your dog to play.

Can I bring my dogs favorite toys to play with?

We have toy time with plenty of toys, so need to bring your own.

Why is IPA a 21 and over facility?

As a dog park bar, we can only have visitors over 21.

How many dogs can I bring?

You can get a membership for 1 or more dogs, but you are only allowed 2 dogs per person on site. If you have more than 2 dogs a partner or friend must accompany you.

Are you open rain or shine?

Yes, unlike traditional dog parks we have turf that stays clean, safe and fun
despite the weather. So there's no mud. We also have heaters to keep you warm while your dogs
are playing and towels to dry them if they get wet.

How is undesired behavior handled?

Undesired behavior can be described as the following; jumping, mounting and excessive barking and overly rough play and bullying. To keep the park enjoyable for everyone we use several methods to redirect the unwanted behavior. Verbal commands, separation from play mates, time outs and/or removal from the park.

These are not punishments but ways of correcting behavior to keep it safe and fun for everyone.

If the unwanted behaviors continue we may require you and your dog to complete a dog training course.

What if my dog likes to observe but not engage with other dogs?

Our on-leash area is perfect for that. We will have cots that indicate “In Training or I like my space”

What if an injury happens?

Our park supervisors are there to assist in any situation and will have minor first-aid items on hand.

Ultimately we want to redirect behavior before an injury can happen.
