I want to give a HUGE shout out to Woofs, in the Village of Webster! This facility is a dream for dogs of all sizes, though I happened to have my 75lb Golden Retriever there recently. This indoor dog park has lots of room for dogs to just RUN, and has some agility equipment for those on the more athletic side. Kris, the owner, made sure this place was clean and pristine for our playtime there, and she remained on site and engaged with our dog Lucy the entire time. Woofs has a separate play area for smaller dogs as well, so when size matters to your furbaby, they can be assured that they’ll feel safe and sound playing without the worry of being overwhelmed by larger dogs. Recently, with the canine flu going around, Woofs took some time to evaluate how to keep the doggos safe and healthy.

However, at this place the owner becomes overly controlling, and she creates a negative experience for everyone involved. Dogs need freedom to explore, play, and establish their own dominance between each other. When the owner intervenes excessively or restricts certain behaviors, it hampers the ability of dogs to interact naturally. While I understand responsible ownership is crucial in any public space like an indoor dog park, but excessive control can hinder natural canine interactions and limit the benefits these spaces offer. The owner really needs to strike a balance between ensuring safety while allowing the dogs the freedom to explore and interact freely. People are paying a nominal fee to play in your park and expect the freedom for their dogs to...
Read moreCannot recommend this place enough. We visited Woof for the first time today and had the best experience! The space is incredibly clean, and such a fun and safe to bring your dog to play. Chris could not have been more kind to us and our dog, Ernie, who was celebrating his birthday today. Chris made us feel so welcome. She showed our dog so much love and took the time to run around and play with him. She even insisted on us all singing happy birthday to him before we left. Thank you so much, Chris for your kindness and hospitality! You truly went above and beyond to make our boy’s birthday special. We will...
