Keep a close eye on your dog at all times.
If your dog is not playing nicely, you must physically intervene.
Maintain control over your dog.
Clean up after your dog.
Please refrain from bringing toys, treats, or feeding the dogs in the park.
Be kind, respectful, and be a good human.

Q. how do you ensure the safety of the dogs?
A. At Wagbar, the safety of our canine guests is our top priority. We have several measures in place to contribute to their well-being:
Our off-leash dog park is fully fenced and supervised by trained staff at all times.
Dogs are required to be up-to-date with vaccinations, and should be at least 6 months old and spayed or neutered.
We enforce a strict code of conduct for all guests to maintain a safe, peaceful environment.
Our staff is trained to intervene if a dog is not playing nicely or if any issues arise.
However, while we strive to maintain a safe environment, we cannot ensure the safety of each individual dog. Dog owners are ultimately responsible for their pet's behavior and safety. Owners should monitor their dogs at all times and intervene if their dog is not playing nicely. These actions from our guests greatly contribute to a safe, enjoyable environment for everyone.
Q. Are there any restrictions on the type or size of dogs allowed in the park?
A. No, at Wagbar, we welcome all breeds and sizes of dogs. We believe every dog deserves to enjoy our off-leash park and social bar atmosphere. However, it's important to note that all dogs should be well-behaved, under their owner's control, and up-to-date with vaccinations.
Q. Does my dog need a membership to attend?
A. No, your dog does not need a membership to enjoy Wagbar. While we offer several membership options for convenience and savings, including daily, monthly, annual, and 10-visit punch pass, you can also opt for a quick day pass for your dog. However, please note that proof of vaccinations is required on each visit with a quick day pass.
Membership to Wagbar is for dogs only, and humans will not be charged for bar or dog park entry. By choosing a membership, you will not have to show vaccines each time after the first visit, and you will also save money in the long run.

If you witness or experience aggressive behavior at any point during your visit, please report it immediately to our staff. We take all reports seriously and will address the situation promptly.
It's important to note that we only accept dogs as members that have no history of aggressive behavior as reported by their owners. If a dog exhibits extreme or repeated aggressive behavior, they will be asked to leave and their membership may be revoked. This policy is crucial in maintaining a safe, peaceful environment for all our guests.
Q. why does it cost for my dog to enter?
A. Wagbar charges an entry fee for dogs in order to maintain the high-quality services and amenities we offer.
