The Barking Lot

The Barking Lot is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 5890 Lamar St. in Arvada, Colorado. Owners looking for dog boarding in Arvada can get overnight stays, daytime play groups, grooming, and training all in one place.

What is an overnight stay like?

Dogs that board sleep on Kuranda orthopedic cots with bedding. The building is climate controlled, and a staff member lives on site to watch the dogs overnight. Staff members are certified in canine CPR and First Aid.

During the day, dogs play in groups sorted by size and energy level. Small breeds have their own area, so little dogs are not mixed in with much larger ones.

What sets this facility apart?

The facility has three large indoor play yards and three large outdoor play yards. The outdoor yards cover more than 2,600 square feet and have play equipment made for dogs. Staff clean with biodegradable products that are safe for dogs. The business is also veteran owned.

• Overnight boarding with orthopedic cots and bedding
• Daycare play groups sorted by size and energy

How do new dogs get started?
