My baby Arthur loves bark yard! The facility is always super nice and the staff is just amazing. I have never pulled into the daycare and staff be on their phones , they are always playing and hanging out with the dogs! My only wish is that they offered early drop off for those of us that work those early morning starts!

Coming through town with my doggo. Stopped by and had a play day! The space outside is huge (for a dog park). He really enjoyed the whole time we spent there! Definitely recommend. If I lived here I would definitely have a membership there! Happy pups everywhere!!

This was our first visit to Bark Yard and we enjoyed it. Unfortunately the front lobby was chaotic while we tried to fill out our application and get oriented. I wish we'd been given a little info about what was available and where on the property. The large dog area is large and beautiful! Plenty of seating, water bowls, shade, obstacles to play on, and a variety of terrain for the pups. Trains going along the property are a little loud but fun to watch. We were surprised to see quite a few little dogs in what we thought was a big dog area. We didn't get a chance to eat there but will try in the future.Update 5/2023: we bring our 3 here at least a couple of times a month. The place is welcoming to both humans and dogs. Tasty snacks! Consistently good service at the patio. They've recently updated the landscape materials nicely. Worth the 20 minute drive.Restrooms: Restrooms are clean and safe.

Our daughter's dog loves it here. They are a great crew and always excited to see him. The play yard is huge and very clean, with both space for a full-on run and plenty of equipment to play on. He loves it here and is always bushed by the time he comes home.Playground: Lots of well-built equipmentRestrooms: Clean and well maintainedDog-friendliness: The crew loves these dogs, and they are always excited to see them.

I've been coming here since it's nearly opened!Great off the leash park, the dogs love going to daycare here, and they also feel comfortable boarding here.The staff gets to know your dogs really quickly and treats them as if they are their own!The bar is also great. It's open nearly 8 months of the year. Also they put on a few events throughout thr year including a Easter Egg Hunt and a Halloween Costume party.

This was our first time using Bark Yard for our pups. We could not be happier with the service and care provided to us and our dogs. The facility is clean, well organized and exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you Bark Yard for a great experience!

Neat place to take our pooch. Lots of other friendly dog owners and dog. 3 acres of well maintained space to roam. Plus the have a snack/food bar with choices from $3-$10 and you can get beer on tap or in a can for $4-$6. Relaxing way to spend 2-4 hours letting your pup run free!

What a wonderful place to bring your pup. Wonderful atmosphere, the trees, the grass area. So nice. And the people that you meet are so friendly. There is something to be said about dog owners, they're really nice people. I would highly recommend making a visit to the backyard! You won't regret it. Even if you don't have a pet. Which I don't currently, but I plan on it.

Loved it! Took my 7 month old German Shepard for the first time! She was a bit nervous at first but everyone was so nice and within 5 minutes she was running around playing with the other dogs! Staff was super friendly and helpful, great amenities, water dishes all over the place, and paw washing stations for after pooches get in the mud!

Great place. Some owners unaware or unwilling to manage their dogs which can negatively affect experience. But like place and space.

Fantastic place for dogs, but fun for everyone. The dogs get worn out! The seasonal bar has a good selection of food and drinks. The staff are all incredibly nice, friendly, and helpful. They have wash stations to hose off good boys and girls after play time. The patio situation is great. The special events are always a blast.It's a country club... for your dog.

With a membership (day passes also), there is a big area in the back for off leash dogs to explore and places to relax for owners.The daycare service seems to be well run ( our dog gets excited to go ).They have boarding, which our dog seems to be pretty happy when he goes.The staff here are very welcoming and sincerely care for the dogs coming in and dogs playing the fenced areas.The staff is very knowledgeable and loving about the dogs and handle situations quickly and appropriately. I appreciate them .

I took my dog here and after 20 min of playing one dog bit my dogs neck and while I was getting the dog off another bit my face and cause me to bleed. You think after you sign the paper telling people they have to have full control of their dogs and no biting allowed that they would be banned but they only gave the dog owners a warning. Because the dogs had been going there for so long never done this.Be careful everyone it only takes one time to take the life of your dog or even yourself and these people just don’t care about the safety of either here.

Love this dog park. Jolene always has an amazing time. Lots of room and shade with fun little things for your pup to do. Most times there are other dogs there to run and play. Always clean and everyone is helpful and friendly. Wish I was closer because what a great thing to have daycare where your dog can run and play with other dogs. Have not used the boarding but I have a coworker who drives from Rolla to board their dog here. I had another place we used however the last time we used them they did not give meds or food we provided so we will be trying Bark Yard next time.

My dog has gotten kennel cough from there twice. Once was at day care and I was not informed of the kennel cough outbreak until after my dog spent 9 hours there. The second time was from the dirty water bowls in the big park area. His kennel cough was so severe his eyes swelled and turned red. Today I called and asked if there was room at day care (bc my dog loves it so much there) and they said yes. It wasnt until I drove 30 minutes to get there on my lunch break that they very nonchalantly told me there was another outbreak. I told them they should’ve said that when I called because I was on a strict time schedule. Their response was quite literally “oh that sucks”. Will never be returning there. Its ridiculous that they make telling people about their kennel cough outbreak such a low priority. Even more shocked at their response to me after they could tell I was upset. Very unprofessional.

At first we really enjoyed the dog park and thought it was a fun stay for our dog for when we are out of town. However, within the week after she boarded she has kennel cough so bad!! My poor baby is miserable. Our dog friend who stayed there the same weekend is also sick as well. This is the only place they could have gotten sick and were only there one night. Just very disappointed in this and that there was no honesty about dogs having been sick and they didn't seem to care at all when we called to let them know. Hopefully they will be upfront and let others know dogs have gotten sick

If you’re considering bringing your pup here, DO IT! This place has been such a blessing. I bring my overly-energetic chiweenie here for daycare and after the day is over, he sleeps all night…and the next day. He jumps up and down excited to come back. It has been so good for him. Not to mention, you can try it out on the first day for FREE!! The off-leash park is also a fantastic option (especially for non-fixed pups, like my Springer). Playing with other dogs with mom and dad close-by has been the biggest confidence boost for him that we could ever ask for! Couldn’t recommend this place more!

We were in town for an event and brought our dogs with us thinking they’d just hang out in the hotel room during the day but that didn’t go as planned. Bark Yard was able to offer daycare for both of our dogs all weekend long without question! Now we have happy pups and happy humans!! The facility is beautiful and everyone was so nice! If you’re in the area let your dogs play at Bark Yard, you won’t be sorry!!

Beautiful facility, well taken care of, great friendly staff. We loved our time and definitely will be back again. Also appreciate the facility and Shaun Monday for supporting local pet charities.

Great atmosphere. So friendly! One big no-no…They haven’t put ANY signs up for Kennel Cough in the month + that they’ve had it.. Happy Tails (2miles away) does this every time to help stop the spread. Its costly at the vet for antibiotics & cough suppressants ($185) and its NOT fun on the dogs.

Not enough warning that this is not a public dog park on google maps. Membership required. Wasted drive for a tourist to springfield.

I've been taking my girl, Izzy, to Bark Yard since they opened and I really don't think I could take her anywhere else! They have the most competent staff, the best dog park in town, and they don't mind when I call and ask how my girl is doing while she is being boarded. If you haven't checked them out yet, why not?!

It was our first time visiting and just wow! We enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed seeing our rottweiler play with other dogs and not be judged because of his breed. My only complaint, in which I won't take a star off, I did see someone having food in the off leash large dog area and seemed to be a member who pays annually. Definitely shouldn't be allowed you can see dogs gather around and I know it's a rule to not bring food in but it definitely should be enforced.
