Social Area Rules
1) Owners are fully responsible for their dog(s) and their actions while visiting the Premises.
2) Owners must clean up after their dog(s).
3) Any person under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult over 18.
4) All dogs must be at least four (4) months old.
5) Dogs must be on-leash until inside the holding area where they can then be turned free to enter the Social Area. While in the Social Area, all dogs must be off-leash which will allow them to move freely and at their natural pace.
6) Dogs must not be left alone in the Social Area. If the Owner needs to leave the Social Area for any reason, the dog(s) must either go with them (on leash) or remain in the Social Area with a responsible adult that is monitoring them.
7) Dogs who are sick, in heat, or have fleas or ticks are not permitted to enter.
8) Outside toys, dog food, treats, or water bowls are not permitted.
9) Aggressive Behavior
- Aggressive behavior will not be tolerated by either you or your dog(s). Aggressive dog behavior includes, but is not limited to, excessive barking as well as biting, mounting, humping, and bullying. If you or your dog demonstrates aggressive behavior, you may be asked to either relocate or leave the Premises by the Company. Offenses will be documented. Repeat violations will result in permanent ban from the facility to protect our employees and guests.
- The Company reserves the right to reposition a dog within the Premises or escort the Owner and dog off the Premises if a dog is seen showing aggressive behavior. If conditions warrant, it is possible that the dog will not be allowed back to the Premises.
- If dog fights occur, each Owner should grab their respective dog by the nape and pull them away from the other dog(s) involved and reposition them until they calm down. Please note, no method is perfect, and the risks are still present. The Company reserves the right to reposition a dog within the facility or escort the Owner and dog off the Premises if a dog fight occurs. If conditions warrant, it is possible that the dog(s) will not be allowed back to Premises.
- Dogs inherently play “rough.” However, rough play is not accepted if one or more of the dogs aren't comfortable with the situation. If a dog is deemed to “bully” another dog, the owner may be asked to place their dog in “time-out.” The Company reserves the right to reposition a dog within the facility or escort the Owner and dog off the Premises. Mounting or humping behaviors are included in this and are not tolerated.
10) Owners are responsible for ensuring their dog(s) do not cause damage to the Company’s property.
11) The Company’s staff has the right to refuse service to any guest for any reason.
12) When entering and exiting the Social Area, please open only one gate at a time, and be careful not to allow other dogs to enter or exit with you.
13) If a human guest is visibly intoxicated and unable to walk (with a dog) in a straight line, they will be sent home in a taxi or ride-sharing service such as Uber or Lyft.
14) The Company is not responsible for any injury, illness, or damage caused on our Premises, and all Owners must be responsible for their dog(s). If your dog(s) causes any damage to a person, a dog, or property, you are responsible.
15) An individual can only enter the Social Area with up to two dogs at one time. Additional dogs require an additional person that is assuming liability for the additional dogs.
16) Owners give permission for photos/videos to be taken of themselves and/or their dog(s). We may use photos/videos of you and your dog(s) for client files, advertising/marketing purposes including, but not limited to, print, signage, website, and social media.
I understand that I am solely responsible for my wellbeing and safety, and the wellbeing and safety of my dog(s). Neither Green Dog Barkery LLC or employees, owners or staff are responsible for my dog(s). I attest that I have read the Rules, and my signature below indicates that I understand and will abide by all Rules in their entirety.
I am fully aware of the risks and hazards connected with the Social Area and hereby elect voluntarily to participate in same knowing that said participation may be hazardous to me and/or my property. I VOLUNTARILY ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR PERSONAL INJURY INCLUDING SICKNESS AND/OR DEATH, that may be sustained by me, and which arises from my participation in the Social Area.
It is my intent that this release and hold harmless agreement shall bind my heirs, assigns and personal representative, if I am deceased, and shall be deemed as a RELEASE, WAIVER, DISCHARGE, and COVENANT NOT TO SUE any of the RELEASES.
