Jaw-dropping indoor dog park to open in Austin, Texas

Pet owners living in or near Austin, Texas, will soon be able to take their beloved dogs to an expansive, state-of-the art, $16-million indoor dog park, deemed Canine Commons Urban.

While the exact spot for the private park hasn’t been chosen just yet, a Canine Commons spokesperson said their team is “evaluating a number of great spots within Austin.”

Austin isn’t the only lucky city to host a Canine Commons Urban facility. Phoenix, Arizona; Omaha, Nebraska; and Nashville, Tennessee, will also eventually have one of these massive dog complexes in their cities.

50,000-square-foot complex includes coffee shop

The massive complex will feature a 50,000-square-feet indoor area that includes an indoor dog park with a dog walking track, a dog-friendly coffee shop, off-leash areas, and other retail space.

While the coffee shop vendor hasn’t been chosen just yet, the dog park’s rep said it is “finalizing an operational agreement with our partner in the coffee realm.” But, the park says it wants to donate coffee-shop proceeds to help feed dogs in shelters.

The site will also provide Wi-Fi and is monitored at all times.

Monthly membership required

To gain access to the climate-controlled indoor dog park, you’ll need a monthly membership, which costs $49 for one dog and $69 for multiple dogs. Or, you can get a day pass for $18 (for one dog) or $25 (for multi-dog).

Let’s take a virtual stroll through this amazing dog park that will include opportunities for socializing, education, and training.

As you walk through the front door of the complex, you are greeted by the reception desk, as well as a large doggy play area on the first floor.

The play area includes seating for you and a large play area with ramps and obstacles for your dog.

Go upstairs, and you’ll see an expansive second-level mezzanine and walking track.

Next, head outside on the second level to the exterior mezzanine, where you’ll find even more space where your dog can socialize and exercise.

Accessible, affordable training

According to the Canine Commons team, “We believe in accessible, affordable training. Most training courses will be included as part of your membership.” They also emphasized that they plan to host numerous agility and performance events on site.

The new indoor park also will not enforce breed restrictions.

iHeartDogs joins in

iHeartDogs will be working with Canine Commons to build dedicated space inside Canine Commons facilities for shelters, rescues, and for adoption events to be held.

“The creation of this space inside the Canine Commons reflects the shared vision that every dog deserves love, a safe and secure home, and provides entirely new ways to bring a positive impact to the millions of dogs waiting in shelters and rescues,” according to a statement released about the strategic partnership.

They further stated that their mission with this partnership “is to increase adoptions, provide visibility and interactive opportunities with adoptable dogs, facilitate education, and further the mission of reducing the number of dogs in shelters and rescues.”
