Can I bring my dog’s siblings?

Yes! Siblings are welcome to join your private play appointment for an extra charge.

Can I bring dogs from another household?

Buddy passes are available for an extra charge. Buddy passes are only for dogs who play together regularly. Bosly’s Backyard is not a place to test or train your dog’s interactions and socialization with other dogs.

If you sign up with a buddy pass or sign up for our Small Group Social Play your dog has to be spayed / neutered and up-to-date on their Rabies, Distemper / Parvo, and Bordetella vaccinations, and free of any contagious conditions. We want everyone to have a safe and fun experience!

What vaccinations do you require?

We require your dog to be up-to-date on their Rabies and Distemper / Parvo vaccinations, and free of any contagious disease. If you sign up with a buddy pass, Small Group Social Play or come for a Private Party with other dogs, your dog has to be spayed / neutered and up-to-date on their Rabies, Distemper / Parvo, and Bordetella vaccinations, and free of any contagious conditions.

What is your cancellation policy?

Refund & reschedule requests must be received 48 hours prior to your play session start time. Play Pack refund and reschedule requests must be received 24 hours prior to play session start time. All of our cancellation policy information is in your initial confirmation email as well as in the email and text message appointment reminders that are sent prior to your appointment. We cannot reschedule, issue credit or refund for appointments that do not provide 24 hours notice of a cancellation. We cannot make any exceptions for weather, sickness, etc. You are welcome to sell or gift your appointment to a friend if you cannot make your appointment.

For training classes, private party rentals and special events, we must receive your cancellation 1 week prior to first class / start time or you will be charged in full. If you cancel prior to 1 week before your event start time, you will be refunded in full minus processing fees.

My dog does not get along with other dogs, will there be other dogs around?

Our experience is designed to accommodate dogs who don’t get along with other dogs and no other dogs will be in the space during your play time. We have 15 minute breaks in between each play session to also help avoid any run-ins.

My dog has reactivity to humans, can I still bring them?

Please email us at [email protected] so we can discuss and assess if we can make our play space work for your dog.

I want to bring more than 3 dogs for a play session, is that allowed?

Given the square footage of the space and our turnaround time to clean in between appointments, we keep private play sessions to 3 dogs at a time. If you have more than 3 dogs, please email us at [email protected] so we can assess if our play space can accommodate.

Do you allow party rentals?

Yes! We’d love to host your pup’s birthday party, gotcha day or other special event. Parties start at $285 for 2 hours, and includes 15 minute setup and breakdown time. Read more on our Party Rentals page here.

Do you offer membership?

Yes! If you want to frequent Bosly’s Backyard with your pups multiple times a week membership will provide you with the most savings. We have a limited number of memberships available. Please email [email protected] for more information.

Can I stop by and see the facility?

Unfortunately no, we do not have a viewing area and stopping in is disruptive to a client’s appointment. There are plenty of photos and videos on our website as well as on our social media pages where you can view our facility. If you have questions please call us at 773-698-6513 or email [email protected] for more information.
