PRECAUTIONS TAKEN AT THE FACILITY
According to the owner, the indoor dog park is fully staffed; team members evaluate, monitor, and even do temperament testing.
“Before any of the dogs can even come into our actual park, we’re checking their vaccination records up-front,” said Spencer Mak. “That’s kind of how strict we are because that’s where we’re going to create our dilation from a traditional kind of free city dog park [to] a transition to kind of our membership, curated experience type of [an] indoor dog park.”

YEARS IN THE MAKING
The business is locally owned and operated. For the married couple, Spencer & Lauren Mak, the opening of their second location has a lot of meaning because it’s a new milestone to something they’ve done with a lot of purpose.
According to Spencer Mak, he’s spent the last 15 years in Arizona training therapy and service dogs; he says that his experience and care throughout the years have helped craft this new facility.
The establishment’s daycare offers extended hours and their boarding services are 24/7, which means there’s always someone there to take care of the dogs.
