Bar K is a unique business combining a thoughtfully designed, fully-staffed dog park with a modern bar, restaurant and event space. Bar K brings engaged, community-minded people and their dogs together to share connections with their pups and each other in a joyful and creative space.

- Carefully supervise the play in the off-leash area to ensure the safety of all dogs and humans. This includes:
- Closely observing the dogs’ play to identify potential conflicts and taking action to prevent them from happening
- Quickly intervening in the event of any conflict to safely separate the dogs
- Immediately alerting management if the Dogtender believes that any dog in the off-leash area is not properly socialized for off-leash play
- Keep the off-leash area clean at all times by removing dog waste as quickly as possible and cleaning the affected area with cleaning supplies provided throughout the park
- Make sure water bowls in the off-leash area are filled with water at all times when there are dogs in the park
- Always represent Bar K positively by interacting with guests in a friendly, helpful and enthusiastic manner. Answer guests’ questions regarding dog behavior or Bar K’s business practices to the best of their ability, or refer the guest to a Bar K manager.
