How the play spaces work

Dogs are not all turned out together. Bark Place has agility ramps and play equipment for the ones who need to burn energy, while Tiny Town is set aside for dogs 30 pounds and under. There is also a 1,600 square foot indoor K9 turf play yard.

Quieter guests have options too. A senior lounge is furnished with leather seating and infra-red beds, and two movie lounges with couches and televisions give dogs a calm place to settle during the day. The potty lawns use anti-microbial K9 Grass.

Practical details

The resort is at 5055 S. Emmer Drive, Suite 100, in New Berlin. Weekday hours run 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM. Saturday hours are shorter, 7:30 AM to noon, and Sunday runs 9 AM to 5 PM. Boarding is listed at $50 per night on the resort's website.

Reservations are made by phone at (262) 784-7297, and vaccinations must be current before a dog or cat stays. Grooming is available on site as well, alongside the boarding and daycare programs.
