To ensure a safe and fun experience for everyone, all dogs must meet the following requirements:

Current on Rabies, DHPP/Distemper, + Bordetella vaccines
No history of biting a person or severely injuring another dog
Never been removed from a dog park, daycare, or boarding facility

As well, dogs must be able to demonstrate the following:

Reliable responsiveness to their owner's directions
Ability to be calmly interrupted or recalled from play
No aggressive, bullying, or dangerously disruptive behavior toward dogs or people
As well, all owners are required to complete a Meet My Dog form for each dog attending.
To ensure vaccine compliance, the Dogland team will be contacting each dogβs vet to verify vaccinations
To ensure behavioral compliance, upon arrival, our trained dog behaviorists will randomly select 20% of dogs to complete a simple on-site assessment. Dogs that do not pass will be deemed ineligible, and the guest will be fully refunded.
Once inside, behaviorists are actively monitoring all six off-leash parks and surrounding areas. We enforce a zero-tolerance policy for any behavior that violates our requirements, and depending on the situation, we reserve the right to remove a dog from the venue without a refund.
-
You can find it at this link. Complete one form per dog attending.
-
Please complete a separate form for each dog attending.
-
Simply navigate back to the form, fill it out for your second dog, and submit!
-
If the form hasn't been completed, we'll keep following up with you until it's done, so no news is good news!

Upon arrival, every dog receives a colored tie to display on their leash indicating their comfort level around other dogs.
Green means your pup is social and ready to play. Yellow means they appreciate a slower introduction. Red means they prefer more space and careful handling.
This helps every guest read the room at a glance and interact accordingly.
-
Yes, intact dogs are allowed as long as they meet all of our other dog requirements.

All breeds, as long as they pass the requirements, are welcome.

There's plenty of shade throughout the venue and no requirement to use the off-leash parks. Your dog can enjoy the experience at whatever pace suits them.
If your senior pup needs a stroller, that's perfectly fine.
-
Generally, dogs under 35 lbs are considered small and dogs over 35 lbs are considered large. That said, if your dog falls in the 25β40 lb gray zone, we're happy to let you choose whichever categorization they'd be most comfortable on.
All off-leash attractions feature dedicated small and large dog sides, with a shared human area in the middle so you can keep an eye on your pup on either side.

It's not required, but we strongly recommend it for your dog's comfort and safety.
