Bark Avenue Montreal arose from what we saw as a need for a safe and fun place to leave your dogs in Montreal.  We were always disappointed with any of the doggie daycares we had seen and in fact had heard some horror stories about what goes on there.  We also believe dog parks are often just a bad idea.  You don’t know many of the dogs there, don’t know whether they are up to date with vaccines and more importantly how friendly the dogs are.  Dog parks are supposed to be a place where you can take your dog for some off leash fun but far too often we hear about incidents and dog fights.

There had to be a better way to accomplish the same fun of a dog park while keeping it safe so we came up with the new concept.  First of all, dogs who attend our daycare are sterilized, all up to date on their vaccinations and all must undergo an evaluation to be eligible to participate.  Aggression towards any dog is not tolerated here.  If we discover any behavioral issues we can suggest a course of action with training. 

What sets us apart is the fact that our daycare setting is always supervised by a human.  Other facilities use cameras for supervision but that just wasn’t good enough for us.  Dogs in a social environment often need a little guidance to get along well at first and our trainers and staff here are all well versed and trained to recognize any potential problems before they happen. We put dogs into the daycare based on temperament and not breed or size.   

In the real world dogs have to be able to exist with dogs of all ages and sizes so this is a great place to learn how to do that.  Shy and nervous dogs benefit tremendously when they see all their doggies having so much fun and want to join in.  Dogs who are unable to socialize with other dogs will spend time with one of our loving staff who truly care about the well-being of your dog. We treat all our guests as if they were a member of our own family.
