Welcome to Barkwood Forest by Boogity Dog Walking!

We are very excited to have you join our small group of dog owners who care about providing the best socialization and exercise for their dog. We know you’ll enjoy our property and all the friendly faces, both dog and human, you will see regularly at Barkwood.

These are the rules that we have at Barkwood that members must abide by:

  • The park is open during daylight hours only. No access is permitted before light or after dark. 
  • All signage in the forest must be abided by. 
  • All dog waste must be bagged and can be disposed of in the garbage cans provided.
  • The gates must be closed securely at all times. When leaving please make sure to get out of your vehicle to close the gates behind you for the safety of all our dogs.
  • Throwing of balls and toys is not allowed at Barkwood Forest. 
  • Walking on-leash is not permitted at Barkwood. Leashes can and should be carried to control your dog or move away from situations as needed, but walking on-leash for extended periods is not permitted. 
  • The use of muzzles is not allowed at Barkwood Forest. 
  • Dogs in heat may not enter Barkwood Forest. (A pause to membership is possible during this time. Just email to inform us if your dog is in heat.)
  • We recommend wearing proper clothing for the season. This includes:
    • Long pants, walking or hiking shoes and socks at all times of year, even in the summer. This will protect you from ticks and any stray poison ivy or wild parsnip you may brush against.
    • Ice grippers when conditions are icy. Please don’t brave the trails without these in the winter months. We use YakTrax if you’re looking for an excellent and affordable brand.
    • These are recommendations only. We take no responsibility for any injury or illness you may contract while using our facility.
  • All vehicles parked at Barkwood must have a Barkwood parking cling or mirror hanger visible in the back window. Unmarked vehicles may be towed at the owner’s expense.
  • All dogs at Barkwood must have completed the assessment and have a numbered Barkwood tag on and visible at all times on the property. Should you want to bring an additional dog to the park, please contact us to have them assessed at our next open house.
  • If asked by a Barkwood member or Boogity staff member to provide your Barwood tag number and colour this must be freely given. This happens sometimes when the tag is not clearly visible to the person asking. 
  • It is important to note that 24 hour monitoring of the entire property is not provided. While these rules are provided for the benefit of all registered members intending to use the property and while we hope that everyone will abide by our rules, we cannot guarantee that no unregistered users will access the property. You are therefore using the property at your own risk, and at the risk of your pet.

Since you will be using Barkwood Forest without supervision, we require you to sign the following liability waiver. We ask that you review this waiver carefully and abide by all of rules herein.

Note that all users of the property must sign this waiver prior to using the property. If you are bringing someone new to the property, they must first sign this waiver which can be found at www.boogity.ca/waiver. This URL is posted at the park entrance as well.

Thanks for joining!

Dog Behaviour at Barkwood

All registered dogs at Barkwood have passed our socialization screening but even good dogs have bad days sometimes. We also cannot guarantee that all users of the property will be properly registered.

At Barkwood all registered dogs wear a large metal tag which has a colour and a number that is unique to that dog.

If you are at Barkwood and have an issue with another member’s dog please note the colour and number of the tag (or as much information as you can remember) and report the incident to us at barkwood@boogity.ca.

If you notice a dog at Barkwood that is not wearing a tag, please report it to us as soon as possible, with as much detail as you can provide.

If the aggressor in this situation is your dog, please also report the situation to us.

You are responsible for the dogs in your care at Barkwood. If your dog injures another member’s dog, you may be asked to pay vet bills associated with that injury.

We also reserve the right to cancel any memberships of members whose dogs have had an incident at Barkwood. In this case a prorated amount for unused portion of the month will be refunded to the member.

We all want to ensure a safe and friendly environment and we can do this by working together.

Thanks for your cooperation.

The Accident Waiver and Release of Liability Form shall be construed broadly to provide a release and waiver to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law.
