Bark & Play

Why?

Because we want everyone with an interest in puppy play (or pet play) to be able to discover it in a fun and safe environment. At Bark & Play you can share your experience and play with other pups, handlers and trainers and let the inside pup get out.

Who?

Pups, Dogs, Owners, Sirs, Handlers, Trainers, Puppysitters and ofcourse everyone else interested in puppy play who is 18 years or over. All genders and sexualities are welcome. Whether you are well trained or completely new to the world of pup play doesn't matter. Please join us!

Where?

You can find VSSM Bark & Play at Dance Bar Marcus Antonius in Nijmegen (St. Anthoniusplaats 15). There are several parkings in the vicinity and it's a 12 minute walk from the Central Train Station of Nijmegen.

What time?

VSSM Bark & Play always starts at 2 pm. The bar and the playground are open all afternoon, so there's plenty of time to bark, slobber, nom and of course to play. At around 6 pm we start to clean the place up.

Fun
That's what it's all about. We want everyone who visits the event to have fun. Come on in and join us for a nice conversation or just to watch and play!

Foam tiles
A pretty large area will be padded with foam floor tiles. This is our puppy playground. Be careful when walking there, because one can easily trip over a pup or step on a paw.

Toys
Yes, we love our toys, especially the squeaky ones! *squeak* We will provide several squeakies, but also tug of war ropes and ofcourse balls, but please bring your own favourites!

Drinks and snacks
Drinks are priced friendly and we have straws for hooded pups. At the bar you can relax, chat, lie down and bark with other pups. There are barstools and some sofas.

Treats
Ofcourse we will provide the necessary treats for the pups.

Relax
Opposite the bar we have some comfy sofas to relax on. For a puppy a pillow is of course the preferred spot to relax, so if you have your own puppy pillow feel free to bring it along with you!

Entrance fee of € 15 per person/pup
It's not that we don't love you, but we do need to pay the rent. Members of VSSM get free entrance to VSSM Bark & Play. We will wag so hard if you us our option to pay upfront. Of course you can also pay in cash at the door, exact change appreciated.

Pictures
Take care when taking pictures. Please make sure there's nobody in the shot, who doesn't want to be. If this happens by accident, please anonymise them when publishing the picture. We want everybody to feel comfortable and completely able to be themselves and let go.

Protect your hands and knees
While we have foam floor tiles, your knees will suffer quite a bit when pupping out on all fours. Please take care of your paws!

Drink sensible
At the bar we also serve alcoholic beverages, even though we think that alcohol and play do not mix. Please know your limits.

No means no
When somebody says or gestures 'no', they usually mean 'no'. Treat each other with respect please.

Be social
Our venue is a gay bar with no darkroom or other sex facilities. We want to stress that VSSM Bark & Play is aiming to be a social gathering. Guard your own limits and be respectful towards the limits of your fellow visitors.
