The Local Bark also has areas exclusively for smaller dogs as well as those who prefer calmer play. Playtime is always supervised by our staff to ensure each and every dog has a happy, safe, and enjoyable experience.

Splash Zone

Does your dog love water? Is he constantly diving into your pool? Wading in the river? Or splashing around in water buckets? In the summer months let your pup cool off from the California heat with a 45 minute Pooch Plunge in our Splash Zone. Your dog and 5-10 other pups will love splashing around in our 3-foot deep, beach-entry, in ground pool. All Pooch Plunge sessions are supervised by a CPR trained staff member for maximum fun and safety. Prefer for your dog to enjoy a relaxing swim session by himself? He or she will love our Skinny Dip option, a 30 minute swim session where your dog will play one-on-one with one of our CPR trained staff members. Call us today to add a Pooch Plunge or Skinny Dip to your dogs next daycare or boarding stay.
