About Us

Your pup will receive regular exercise to maintain a healthy weight, relief from boredom, separation anxiety and destructive behavior. Their socialization with people & other dogs will improve and their overall happiness will increase.

The Exploration is to ensure that your pup will fit into our free roam and very social environment, that they don't have any aggressive behaviors that would endanger any other pups, and that they don't have any anxiety that would stress them out or make them uncomfortable. We want all pups visiting Barkatopia to have a relaxing and fun stay with us!

We ask that you request an Exploration appointment with us by giving us a call or shooting us an email. This visit could be up to 5 hours, please be available if your pup needs to be picked-up early. Your deposit will be refunded if Barkatopia is not suited to your pup's needs.

No, we ask that you request an appointment through our website or give us a call. We have a limited capacity and want to ensure that all pups who have reserved an appointment can come and play with us.

The same goes for passport holders; even if you have a passport you must request a DayPlay appointment with us to reserve your pup's spot.

Yes, your pup will need to come to us on a leash and leave us on a leash. Please do not bring anything personal for your pup. They will receive lots of treats and water and will have a full itinerary of things to do while they are in paradise. 

Medium to large pups will be separated from small and older pups to keep all our pups happy and safe!

Puppies will have their own space and, depending on their size, they will be separated into the safest pup size group for them.

Of course! As long as your pup has passed our mandatory first visit Exploration we love and accept all pups here at Barkatopia!

We offer early drop off one hour before we open and late pick-up one hour after we close for a small additional fee. Please make sure to add this when requesting your DayPlay appointment. 

Early drop off is 6am and late pick-up at 7pm.

Please call in emergency situations.

 Failure to notify us of a late non-scheduled pick-up time will result in an additional charge of $5 per 15 minutes.

 A sleepy pup is nothing to be concerned about after they leave paradise. Your pup may be more worn out than usual when they come home because they've had a busy day of running and playing with their friends.  

Please contact us to see what training class times and dates we have available. 

Training classes are once a week for seven weeks. You must stay and participate with your pup during training.

Please call for inquires about private/in-home training.

To receive a full refund we require 24 hour notice for cancellation of a DayPlay or Training appointment. Once you have used one DayPlay stay on a Passport or one Training class on a package, no partial refunds will be issued. Please call in the case of an emergency.

  Please contact us during business hours at the store number 636-432-1131 or outside of business hours at 636-667-8017 and we will do our best to get back with you ASAP. We understand life happens and we will work on a pup by pup basis in emergency situations.
