Park Rules & Guidelines
- Supervise your dog at all times. Stay within sight and intervene if play becomes rowdy.
- Keep dogs leashed outside the off-leash yards and when entering/exiting the double-gate vestibule.
- Two-dog limit per person to ensure safe supervision.
- No children (under 21) allowed anywhere on the premises.
- No outside food, drinks, toys, balls, or glass containers. These create guarding and safety risks.
- No smoking inside the park or patio. Please step 50 ft away from turf and entrances.
- Scoop the poop. Waste bags, pooper scoopers, & covered bins are provided—keep the turf clean for everyone.
- Follow Rufferee guidance. Staff may issue time-outs, on-leash breaks, or ask guests to leave for disruptive behaviour.
- Broken Leash reserves the right to refuse service or remove any dog or person for rule violations or safety concerns.
- By entering, you consent to photos/video that may be used for security or promotional purposes.
These rules keep the park safe, clean, and fun for everyone—two-legged and four-legged alike.

Possessiveness

How We Handle Behaviour Before a Strike
We always attempt redirection and time-outs first. Strikes are issued only when safety is at risk or repeated interventions fail.
- Quick Time-Out in the Yard – A Rufferee slips the lead on and asks the owner to hold their dog nearby until calm.
- Longer Break Indoors – If yard time-outs don’t work, the dog takes a supervised break inside before re-entering play.
- Strike Issued (if needed) – Persistent or serious incidents are documented as a strike after staff discuss the situation with the owner.
Management may skip directly to a strike when behaviour poses an immediate safety risk.
Consequences of Strikes
- First Strike – Verbal warning and documentation in our system.
- Second Strike – Dog may be restricted to on-leash areas or asked to leave for the day.
- Third Strike – Dog may be permanently removed from the park.
Strikes are tracked on a rolling six-month window. If a dog goes six months without additional strikes, prior strikes expire. Management may issue a strike immediately—without prior time-outs—if behaviour poses an immediate safety risk.
