Our Barnyard Dog Den was created to give local dog owners a safe, secure, indoor space where dogs can play, explore, and build confidence, or enjoy a nice bath and pamper in our self serve dog wash — whatever the weather.  As an extension to Barnyard Pet & Equestrian Supplies, we’re proud to offer a friendly, community‑focused environment that supports dogs of all ages, breeds, and abilities, and owners too!

​

Our Mission:

To provide a welcoming, accessible, and enjoyable space where dogs and owners can bond, train, play, and feel part of a like‑minded dog‑loving community.

​

Why We Built the Dog Den:

• To offer a weather‑proof play space - no mud, no rain, and plenty of shade on those warmer days!

• To give owners a safe, indoor environment

• To create a hub for local dog lovers

• To offer a Self Serve Dog Wash for those extra washes and pamper sessions for your dogs in between grooms or after muddy outdoor fun

• To complement our on‑site pet shop

 

Our Values:

• Safety

• Community

• Accessibility

• Kindness & Respect

• Fun

​

🐶 Who the Dog Den Is For

The Dog Den is perfect for:

• Puppies learning the world

• High‑energy dogs who need a safe outlet

• Older dogs who benefit from gentle movement, on a safe, clean flooring

• Owners who want a controlled environment for training

• Anyone who wants fun, bonding time with their dog

• Visitors who require wheelchair access — the Dog Den is fully wheelchair accessible throughout

• Dogs and owners who want to meet new dog friends and human friends in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere full of like‑minded dog lovers

• Dogs who enjoy the company of other dogs.  The main sessions are for multiple households.

​​

Every dog deserves a space where they can feel safe, confident, and happy —

and that’s exactly what the Dog Den provides.

​

Please note that, due to insurance restrictions on our indoor space, we are unfortunately unable to allow any dogs that fall under the requirements of the Dangerous Dogs Act, including XL Bullies

We’ve created the Dog Den to support local dog owners with a space that’s practical, affordable, and genuinely enjoyable for both dogs and humans.
