🐾 Trick Tip: Teach your pup “Two Paws Up” — and turn your Mission Creek walk into a training adventure!

Next time you’re out, find a low, sturdy surface like a park bench and try this:

Hold a treat near your dog’s nose.

Slowly guide it up and toward the bench.

The moment their front paws land on the bench—mark it (“yes!”) and treat!

Keep it short, fun, and always safe (no jumping required!).

“Two Paws Up” is more than a cute photo op—it helps build confidence, coordination, and connection 💛

✨Pro tip: Want your dog doing cool stuff like this every day? At Bark Ave, we include training games and enrichment in our daily schedule—no boring warehouse vibes here.

“The best doggie daycare in San Francisco, hands down!” 🐾💛

Leo’s parent said it best:

“Everyone on staff has been professional, caring, meticulous, amazing. In both facilities, you can tell right away that our pets come first... Leo is always excited to go to 'school' every day, always eager to go through the door.”

We’re not your typical warehouse-style daycare. At Bark Ave, we believe every dog deserves individual attention, structured enrichment, and a space where they feel like they’re visiting their favorite Auntie’s house.

✨Daily updates
✨Happy dogs
✨High staff-to-dog ratios
✨And a whole lot of love

🐕+🚣‍♀️ = 😎
Cool down by the docks at Mission Creek! Watch the rowers glide by, do a little people-watching, and let your dog take in the breeze by the water.

❄️Bring a cooling vest or bandana for your pup and a portable water bowl—this low-key adventure is great when you want to do something without overheating.

At Bark Ave, we structure our whole day around safe fun, even in San Francisco’s hottest weeks. No warehouse vibes—just enrichment, walks, and a whole lot of tail wags.

☀️Hot weather hack: Skip the scorching sidewalks and hit the shaded trails instead.
🌿 Early mornings and early evenings are perfect for a peaceful stroll along Mission Creek Park’s shaded path. Bring water (for you and your dog), and take your time sniffing your way around the native plants and breezy waterfront views.

📍Pro tip: The grassy areas near the footbridge stay cooler and are perfect for a quick game of “Find It” with treats!

🐾 Want your dog to have more safe fun while you're at work? Bark Ave is just around the corner—with structured walks and AC-chilled playrooms all day long.

🔥 Too hot to head outside? Try this indoor enrichment game to keep your dog cool and calm.

Game 1: Chill & Lick
Set your dog up on a cozy mat in a quiet spot with a frozen Toppl or Lickimat. As they lick through the frozen layers, they’ll naturally decompress and settle—perfect for those sweltering San Francisco afternoons.

✨ Great for mental stimulation and beating the heat without leaving the house.

Looking for more than your average dog daycare? At Bark Ave, we go beyond playtime with enrichment games, stimulating walks, and structured activities throughout the day—because your dog deserves more than just a place to burn energy.

Let’s bust a myth real quick: Loose leash walking doesn’t have to mean your dog glued to your side. 🐕‍🦺🚶‍♀️

It’s not about perfection—it’s about connection.

Loose leash walking means:
✔️ A relaxed leash
✔️ A dog who checks in
✔️ A walk that works for both of you

Whether your pup prefers to trot ahead, walk a few feet to the side, or pause to sniff every bush, that’s okay—as long as you’re both enjoying the walk without tension (on the leash or in your relationship!).

Happy 4th of July! 🎆 Wishing you a safe and enjoyable holiday filled with fun and fireworks. 🇺🇸✨

As we celebrate, let’s not forget about our furry friends who may not enjoy the noise and chaos of the day. Here are a few tips to help keep your dog feeling safe and comfortable:

🐾 Take your walk or exercise earlier in the day to avoid peak fireworks time.

🚫 Avoid feeding your dog human food—it can upset their tummy and cause stress.

🏠 Create a safe space where your dog can retreat to when the booms begin. A cozy, quiet corner can work wonders.

🍔 Celebrate early at the BBQ during the day but choose to stay home with your dog when the fireworks start—your presence will help keep them calm. Plus they will enjoy your company!

Let’s keep our pups feeling comfortable so they can enjoy the holiday too!

Sunset Strolls Along Mission Creek: Take advantage of the long summer evenings with a peaceful walk by the water. The breeze, the golden hour glow, and your happy pup = perfection.

Splash Time at Mission Bay Dog Park: Head to the dog park for off-leash play—and don’t forget a portable water bowl and a cooling vest for your pup!

DIY Frozen Treats at Home: Beat the heat with homemade frozen peanut butter and banana treats. Put on your favorite summer playlist and turn it into a doggy staycation day.

Kayaking with Your Canine: If your pup is the adventurous type, rent a kayak and explore the calm waters of Mission Creek together. Many rentals are dog-friendly—life jackets recommended!

Summer Photo Shoot: Capture sunny memories with a warm-weather photo shoot along the Mission Creek trails. Bonus points for matching sunglasses.
