None of the Barkmore House guests are ever outside of the fenced yard without a leash. They are never outside unsupervised or left alone with other dogs; they eat only their regular diet and no people food (unless requested); all-natural, high-quality treats and premium quality, non-splintering chews are provided under supervision if the parents permit it. Our guests are not allowed to meet people or dogs on walks, nothing small or dangerous is left on floors or counters and our 4.5′ double-fenced yard has a puppy barrier to keep small dogs in the yard. We do not open our front door until the dogs are behind closed doors and gates and we have an additional gate on our front porch, providing an extra barrier. All guests must be up-to-date on their vaccinations and wear a collar. We do not accept dogs that have any history or concerns related to fence-jumping or aggression. When playing outside on hot or cold days, we go into the house for frequent breaks. If there is anything we have not thought of, please message us and we will address your concerns.
