Eligibility & Participation
Our goal is to ensure a positive and safe experience for all dogs. Whoa Doggie reserves the right to reassess your dog’s suitability at any time and may suspend or refuse participation if behaviors indicate that the environment is not appropriate for your dog.
Handling & Management Tools
To promote safe and regulated play, Whoa Doggie may use leashes, visual barriers, rotation schedules, or crate/rest breaks to support dogs who become overstimulated or require decompression.
All dogs must arrive wearing a quick-release collar or harness. Dogs may not display aggressive behavior toward other dogs or staff.

In the event of illness or injury, Whoa Doggie may seek veterinary care at the owner’s expense. We will make reasonable attempts to contact the owner before treatment. By signing this waiver, I authorize Whoa Doggie to obtain veterinary treatment for my dog if deemed necessary. I understand that I am financially responsible for any associated costs.
