In all cases, TTY reserves the right to close the facility or amend its hours of operation at any time without notice; however, TTY will endeavor to notify its members via our website, social media, and/or email.
Participation at TTY is voluntary and at your own risk. We reserve the right to temporarily remove or permanently restrict any person or dog(s) from the premises for behavior that is potentially harmful to our customers, staff, or other dogs.

By entering TTY, you permit TTY staff to physically handle your dog if necessary to break up any fights that may occur. TTY will utilize trained staff to help mitigate safety risks; however, each member is solely responsible for their and their dog’s actions and assumes all liability for damages suffered by any person or dog injured by the member or the member’s dog(s) while at TTY.
All dogs must be well behaved, friendly, socialized and comfortable around all types of other dogs in an off-leash environment. Aggressive or bullying behavior will not be tolerated. If these behaviors are observed, immediate action will be taken. TTY staff will do whatever is necessary to prevent the behavior from reoccurring. If aggressive behavior persists, TTY staff reserve the right to ask the member to take the dog for a time-out, or the member may be asked to remove the dog(s) from the premises. Memberships will not be refunded.
Rough play among dogs is acceptable as long as it is consensual. Rough play is not accepted if the dogs involved aren’t comfortable with the situation. If the behavior continues, the dog may need to be removed from TTY.
Constant dog barking can be disruptive. Please keep your dog’s barking under control as much as possible.
