The Day
Some places you visit. Some you return to, even the first time.
Dogland is built for dogs, designed for humans, and nostalgic in a way you'll feel before you can explain it.
A nod to simpler times, when if you weren't there, it didn't happen. When everyone was just a little more free. Free from their phones, from the pressure of being seen, free to be completely, joyfully silly.
Remember when a great day was just a great day? No agenda. No phone. Just good people, cold drinks, and your dog completely losing their mind with joy.
That's Dogland.
Come back to it.
Safety
Joy works best when everyone feels safe. Here's how we make sure of it.
Before you arrive
Every dog is screened before the gates open. Vaccines are verified directly with your vet, and owners complete a Meet My Dog form to confirm all requirements are met. By the time you walk in, you'll know the crowd inside is one you can trust.
When you arrive
Upon entry, 20% of dogs are randomly selected for a brief on-site behavior assessment, our way of making sure our community is upholding their word. Every dog then receives a color-coded scarf indicating their comfort level around other dogs. Green means ready to play. Yellow means slow your roll. Red means give them space.
Your first stop is a quick orientation called the Dogland Doctrine, which sets the tone and covers everything you need to know.
Inside off-leash parks
All six off-leash parks are double-fenced and capacity-controlled. Each park has three sections, one for small dogs, one for large dogs, and a middle section for people to witness their dog's gloriousness.
A dedicated attendant manages entry and exit at each park, monitoring overall capacity, while two trained dog behaviorists oversee the dog areas, ready to intervene at the first sign of tension.
owner oversight
Each ticketed adult is limited to one dog to ensure their full attention stays where it belongs. Dog owners are required to stay with their dogs for the entirety of the experience, even inside the off-leash parks, owners must remain in the designated human area.
Outside the parks, all dogs stay leashed.
All day, everywhere
Roaming attendants cover the full grounds throughout the day. A licensed vet is on-site from open to close.
What makes Dogland special?
It's what's not here.
No sponsors thrusting samples of the latest greatest dog food at you and your dog.
No attractions brought to you by the dog conglomerates quietly buying every brand you loved, hollowing them out, and methodically filling every big-box shelf with lesser versions until real quality is impossible to find.
No phones filming you having a good time, making you feel like a moment you were living in is already content.
Instead, what you'll find instead is something magical and rare: a place with no hidden agenda.
No outside stakeholders, no data to harvest, no outcomes to engineer. The only thing we're building toward is a joyful day for you and your dog.
Dogland is simple, it’s a great day, the kind you used to have. The kind where you laughed too hard, stayed too long, and let your dog be gloriously, completely unhinged.
That's the whole thing.
That's Dogland.
Why I built Dogland
Inspired by Ricky Cha-Cha.
There's a specific kind of happiness that only comes from watching someone you love experience pure delight. Parents know it. It's why they save up for the first trip to Disneyland, not to ride the rides, but to watch their child's face.
I felt that watching Rick. Over and over again.
And I couldn't stop asking: why isn't there a place built entirely around that feeling, for people and their dogs?
It didn't exist. So I built it.
Dogland is for everyone who knows their dog is family. A place to celebrate that, together, out loud, fully present.
