FIRST TIME?

Step 1 - You must love dogs

This is a non-negotiable. You don't need to have a dog, you just need to love them.

Bring your dog, hang out with other peoples dogs. Have a drink and meet some dog loving friends. What more do you need?

Step 2 - Register your dog

If you do have a dog, register your dog before you come to Bark Social. All we need is your dog's vaccination records, and proof of spaying/neutering if over the age of one.
