Come and let loose with your four legger!!  The Houndstooth Bark Park is an off leash dog park that is open behind the Houndstooth Bakery and Boutique. 

This 2 acre park is entirely fenced for the safety of our furfriends.  The Bark Park is a work in progress with many things planned for the future.

 We will continue to accept donations for this wonderful area.  Our next goal is to erect a pavilion that will be used for training, seminars, etc.

 The Bark Park can be rented for special occasions too!  Please contact us if you are interested in having a private event at the Bark Park.

The Houndstooth Bark Park is open to everyone 7 days a week from morning til dark.  There will not be a charge to use the park unless the rules are not being followed.  Please be considerate and help to keep our Bark Park functioning for many y”ears” to come.

Bark Park Rules

This is a private park so in order to keep The Houndstooth Bark Park functioning for

many years to come we ask you to follow these simple rules!!! 

1. Unleash your dog within the double gated area.  Leashed dogs within the park may feel threatened and growl or bark when an off-leash dogs greet them. 

2. Scoop your Poop!!!  This is just common sense and will keep our park clean.  If you forgot to bring your own bags feel free to use the Pooper Scoopers, or biodegradable bags that we have supplied.  Garbage buckets are located throughout the park.  If this rule is not followed we will start charging a fee for use of this Park!!!

3. Please supervise your dog at all times to make sure they are playing “nice”. Be aware that dogs have different play styles  Educate yourself on dog behavior and don’t be afraid to ask questions. A behavior that concerns you may simply be a rambunctious play style.  And most importantly, if you suspect your dog is not having fun, please respect their wishes and take them home. 

4. Please do not bring more than 2 dogs at a time!!  (more than 3 are difficult to supervise and sometimes act in a “pack” toward others).

5.  You must be 18 (two leggers!!) or older to use the park!  If you are a parent, please do not bring children younger than 13 with you (remember, your attention needs to be on your dog!!)

6.  Do not bring female dogs in season.  We will allow intact (unspayed or unaltered) dogs HOWEVER keep in mind that intact males and females often bring a higher level of anxiety to a dog park so please use careful consideration prior to bringing unaltered dogs to this park.  Please do not be the dog owner who makes us change the rule.

7. If a dog fight happens STAY CALM and act immediately!!  Call you dog back to you even if your dog is not involved in the altercation.  If your dog was involved in the argument, please take your dog home.  Please review the Article on Dog Fights to help you take the right action.

8. The entire Houndstooth Property is Non - Smoking. 

9. Make certain your pooch is up to date on Rabies Vaccination.

10.  The Houndstooth reserves the right to exclude any dog or human from the Bark Park!!

11.  This is a Play at your own risk park!! 

12. YOU MUST HAVE A PAW PASS TO USE THE PARK.  Please stop at the shoppe to get one!!!!
