Calgary's Indoor Dog Parks: A Haven for Shy Canines

A Winter Challenge for Pet Owners

Calgary's harsh winters pose a challenge for dog owners, especially those with shy or reactive pets. The need for indoor spaces offering solo playtime is increasingly evident as traditional dog parks become less feasible for these sensitive companions.

Innovative Solutions Emerging

Fortunately, facilities like Petfinity and Barrett Dog Sports are addressing this need. Petfinity, located on Buffalo Run Blvd., provides a large indoor park with areas for private play, catering specifically to reactive dogs. Similarly, Barrett Dog Sports offers a rentable 4000 square foot indoor space, ensuring minimal encounters with other dogs.

These facilities, along with training programs like Canine Development & Testing's board and train services, are part of a growing trend to meet the unique needs of Calgary's diverse canine population. As the community continues to innovate, dog owners can rest assured that their pets can remain active and healthy, even during the city's coldest months.
