Celebrate with us on December 20, then join us for regular play starting December 22
Before we open our doors for regular business, we’re kicking things off with a Soft Launch Party on Saturday, December 20th, from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM and you’re invited to help us celebrate!
Soft Launch Party — December 20
Our soft launch is a special sneak peek of The Friendly Bark, designed to give our community a chance to check out the space, meet fellow dog lovers, and enjoy a day full of fun, learning, and festive moments.
During the event, you and your pup can enjoy:
- Festive photos with professional photographer Brittney Nitta-Lee— perfect for holiday cards or just capturing the memories
- AKC CGC, CGCA, CGCU testing and Trick Dog title testing for $20, administered by Alexis Brinkley of Canine Savvy Training and Behavior
- Fun games and enrichment ideas led by Michelle Thomas from Ready, Pup, Go!, with tips you can take home and use anytime
- Interactive games and prizes hosted by The Friendly Bark
- A chance to explore our brand-new indoor play space and get a feel for what makes our community so special
This event is all about celebrating dogs, supporting positive training, and bringing people together in a safe, welcoming environment.
