An Urban Escape for City Pups: Launching Soon

City life is exhausting for small dogs. The constant roar of traffic, crowded sidewalks, aggressive big dogs, and dangerous foxtails make daily walks a stressful gauntlet for your pup's sensitive paws and nervous system.

Barks and Rec is proud to introduce our private, tucked-away backyard sanctuary designed entirely to give small breeds a peaceful break from the urban bustle. Traditional dog daycares can easily overwhelm young puppies, small fur babies, and shy dogs. Our Structured Enrichment Play provides a dedicated, gentle, and patient space designed specifically for small pups to build confidence, make friends, and burn off energy safely. We mix active exercise with basic manners and recall games to reduce boredom in a completely fear-free environment.

How it works: OUr Elite Coastal sanctuary experience

  • 🚗 Door-to-Door Chauffeur: Your pup is personally chauffeured by us from your city home straight to the oasis—completely eliminating the stress of city traffic and transit for your family.

  • 🌲 Private Coastal Woodland Sanctuary: A secure, sprawling acre nestled in the coastal trees less than 20 minutes from SF. It is an outdoor paradise completely hidden from the noise, crowd, and stress of the city.

  • 🌿 Structured Enrichment Play & Manners: We mix active outdoor exercise with basic manners, choice-based confidence building, and low-stress recall games designed specifically to reduce boredom for puppies and shy dogs.

  • 🐾 100% Foxtail-Free & Woodchipped: Ultimate peace of mind for fragile paws, noses, and ears. Our escape-proof, fully fenced acre is woodchipped to be incredibly gentle on tiny joints and sensitive paws.

  • ☀️ Natural Shade Features: Cool, breezy coastal tree canopies provide plenty of natural shade to protect sensitive toy breeds from over-exhaustion and the direct sun.

  • 🏖️ Safe Beach Adventures: Low-stress, fear-free beach outings focused entirely on small-pup group dynamics, gentle handling, and reliable recall practice.
