Bosly’s Backyard is a private indoor dog park at 4011 North Ravenswood Avenue, Suite 108, in Chicago. Visits are booked for one household at a time, so owners stay with their dogs and use the space without unfamiliar dogs sharing or rotating through the facility.

How private play works
A reservation gives your household private use of the indoor play space. Dogs from the same household can be added as siblings. Familiar dogs from another household require a Buddy Pass and must already play together successfully; Bosly’s says the facility is not a place to test a new dog-to-dog introduction.
The controlled setup can suit reactive, anxious or selective dogs that struggle in a shared public dog park. It also provides an indoor exercise option during extreme weather. Owners remain responsible for supervising and handling their dogs throughout the appointment.
What dog owners say
Dog owners commonly praise the chance to let reactive or anxious dogs run off leash without unfamiliar dogs nearby. Customer accounts mention agility equipment, enrichment activities, a clean controlled environment and dogs becoming more confident as they explore at their own pace.
Other visitors emphasize that this is active one-on-one time with your dog rather than daycare. The private format and appointment price will not fit every routine, but owners of dog-selective pets often value the predictability. These are customer experiences, not a guarantee that the facility will suit every dog.
Vaccines and visit rules
Bosly’s requires current rabies and distemper/parvo vaccinations and says dogs must be free of contagious disease. Buddy Pass, small-group and multi-dog party visits have added Bordetella and spay/neuter requirements. Review the current rules for the exact service you book.
Contact Bosly’s before booking if your dog is reactive toward people or if you need help choosing a service. Bring any supplies listed in the confirmation and follow the operator’s cleanup, equipment and cancellation rules.
