ONLY IN AUSTIN, FOR NOW
What if going out didn't mean leaving your dog behind?
Dogland throws three-hour celebrations for you and your dog.
Holidays, birthdays, milestones, events, and nights out you’d normally do without them.
Our first celebration is October 29th.
Real Housewives Outdoor Showing
Thursday, October 29th
7:00-10:00 PM
Stop choosing between your dog and your social life.
You know the look. Keys in hand, dog at the door.
Suddenly you’re stuck with the worst choice: leave your dog behind, or stay home.
Sure, you could bring them somewhere “dog-friendly.” But dog-friendly usually just means dog-tolerated.
Or you could skip your plans for a dog event. Then it’s you, a leash, and two hours of standing around.
Or there’s a third option: Dogland.
Built for both of you.
Your new social calendar.
Things you already do. Just better, and with your dog.
Dogsgiving. A Thanksgiving celebration complete a pumpkin pie eating contest and a “gravy” pit to roll in.
Instead of leaving them with a sitter while you spend Thanksgiving with the rest of your family.
November Birthday Club. One big birthday party for the dogs born in November.
Instead of a photo taken on the kitchen floor, an Instagram post, and the feeling they deserved more.
Dogland Food + Wine Festival. A dog food festival where your dog taste-tests 50+ foods to find their favorites, while you sip wine and get a crash course in what they actually need.
Instead of choosing their food from a random recommendation, a social media post, or by the prettiest bag at the pet store.
The Destroy-the-House Party. A real house where dogs can do everything they’re banned from at home.
Instead of another enrichment toy and another deep dive on Reddit trying to understand if your dog is actually happy.
The Dogland promise.
Your dog has the best time ever. So do you. On purpose.
Their best day.
Everything dogs love. Running, sniffing, digging, exploring, surprises, and treats.
Off-leash, safely. Fenced play yards run by expert behaviorists, with small and large dogs kept apart.
Chaos, with a plan. One staffer for every six dogs, so they can be dogs and you can relax.
Your best day.
Your kind of party. Cocktails, music, and good company, all in a setting you’ll want to linger in.
Bougie, handmade. Every celebration is designed and built from scratch, down to the last detail. No sponsors, no ads, nothing tacky.
Someone else on photos. Our photographers capture it all, so you can just be there.
The details.
Secret venues.
Beautiful spaces around Austin, revealed with your ticket.
Small on purpose.
Every celebration is capped, so it feels like a party, not a festival. No lines, no crowds, plenty of room for both of you.
Three hours.
Long enough to do everything, short enough that nobody melts down.
$28-42 a person. Dogs are free.
Prices vary by celebration. Your ticket covers entry + a cocktail.
EACH TICKET INCLUDES A FREE COCKTAIL

Back-to-back Real Housewives on a big outdoor screen: Orange County, New York City, and Salt Lake City. We’ll bring the setup and lounge chairs, and popcorn and your first cocktail are on us. Additional cocktails and candy available for purchase.
Your pup’s night is your call: keep them snuggled up beside you, or send them to our supervised off-leash play yards to sniff their way through scent stations inspired by each housewive’s city.
Then, together, find out which Housewife your dog would be, and write and record their Housewife tagline for the opening credits.
DATE: Thursday, October 29th
TIME: 7:00- 10:00 PM
PRICE: $28 per person (dogs are free)
-
Hocus Pocus on a big outdoor screen. We’ll bring the setup and lounge chairs, and popcorn is on us (cocktails and candy are available for purchase). Your pup’s night is your call: keep them snuggled up beside you, or send them to our supervised off-leash play yards, home to a witches’ brew mud pit.
Then, together, mix your dog’s custom potion at the potion bar and pour it into the mud pit for them to splash through, and pose for a shadow portrait of the two of you.
DATE: Friday, October 30th
TIME: 6:00- 9:00 PM
PRICE: $28 per person (dogs are free)

Dog Remembrance Day is a time to honor the dogs who came before and celebrate the ones by our side today. Light a candle for the pups you’ve loved and lost, wander our Hall of Memories and add a photo of your own, and place your dog’s favorite toy on the memory table. Create a keepsake to take home, from a packet of wildflower seeds labeled with your dog’s name to plant in their memory, to a gratitude tag sharing what your dog has taught you, hung on our thankful tree.
You can also meet some of Austin’s most unique makers, each offering a custom way to remember your dog, from a tattoo of their teeth to jewelry made with their fur or ashes or engraved with their paw or nose print.
And if you’d like a moment to reflect, our quiet corner is a place to sit with others who understand, because they’ve been there too.
DATE: Sunday, November 1st
TIME: 1:00- 4:00 PM
PRICE: $32 per person (dogs are free)
Tickets coming soon.
-
A Thanksgiving feast where the dogs finally get invited to the table—and encouraged to behave badly. Roll through the gravy pit, sit down at a very fancy Thanksgiving table, then eat straight off it because, for once, everyone is allowed on the table because everything is glued down. Compete in a dog-safe pumpkin pie-eating contest, paw-print what you’re thankful for, and gather for a very Dogland Thanksgiving.
-
A ridiculously good birthday party for every dog celebrating another year of being here. Smash a cake made just for them, dig through a mountain of gift boxes, make a birthday wish, and celebrate alongside a room full of November babies. Guess their age in dog years, add your wish to the birthday wall, and gather every hour for one very big Happy Birthday.
-
A candlelit night of tarot, paw readings, questionable attempts to contact the beyond—and your dog by your side. Sit down with a tarot reader, astrologer, or psychic for a reading for you, your dog, or both of you; compare your auras, pull a card for your relationship, and discover who your dog may have been in a past life. Then grab a cocktail, let the dogs hunt creepy-crawly creatures through the off-leash yards, and end the night beneath the full moon with one collective Dogland howl.
-
A runway show for dogs and the humans who look suspiciously like them. Walk the catwalk together or watch from the audience, make your grand entrance through a fake paparazzi line, then hit the wig bar to make your resemblance even more questionable. Take home a side-by-side lookalike portrait, try your luck at the Separated at Birth wall, and shop a market of local makers with dog gear chic enough to justify.
-
It’s 1992. Nobody has a smartphone, everyone has a slap bracelet, and your dog is about to disappear into a giant pile of foam. Throw on the throwback playlist, grab a cocktail, and let the dogs dig and dive through fenced play yards filled with dog-safe foam. Take painfully awkward yearbook photos in ’90s wigs and accessories, relax in an inflatable chair, make matching slap bracelets, pick the next song, and leave with a Lisa Frank inspired temporary tattoo, a yearbook superlative,
-
Elementary school field day, but the dogs are the athletes. Time your dog’s 50-yard dash, go head-to-head in tug-of-war, crawl through tunnels, and cheer from the sidelines like the proud parent you are. There’s a giant rainbow parachute, plenty of opportunities to embarrass yourself as a coach, and absolutely no getting picked last. Everyone gets a ribbon, because around here, everyone is an athlete.
-
A house party you don’t have to clean up after. You get cocktails and a living room DJ. They get an entire house where they can do everything they’re banned from doing at home: claim the couch, dig through the laundry pile, shred the boxes, destroy the pillows, and raid the dog-safe fridge and trash can. Unroll the toilet paper room together, answer the doorbell that never stops ringing, clear a dinner table where the plates are glued down, and pile into the big bed for a family portrait. a bathtub full of tennis balls, a mail slot that drops in mail to shred, and a “caught in the act” photo station with a fake angry parent.
-
A food and wine festival where the dogs are the critics. Work your way through 50+ bites from station to station while a very serious sommelier announces each course, then use your scorecard to rate every dish based entirely on your dog’s reaction. There’s a chef’s table with dramatic cloche reveals, cocktails for the humans, and a doggie bag of the winning dish to take home. Because apparently your dog has opinions about food now.
-
Austin finally gets a snow day, and the dogs get to spend it exactly how they always wanted. Tear through fenced yards covered in dog-safe snow, chase soft snowballs, pull a sled, and demolish a village of dog-friendly gingerbread houses built to be eaten. You get hot cocoa—spiked, if you like—a front-row seat to the chaos, and a photo of your dog experiencing their very first snow day.
-
A Christmas craft afternoon that ends with a break-in. Decorate dog-safe Christmas cookies together, build a wreath for your front door with a few treats tucked inside, then let the dogs get to work on the real project: giant blocks of ice with toys and treats locked inside like a Christmas vault. They’ll dig, lick, gnaw, and demolish their way to the loot while you watch with a frozen cocktail in hand. Finish with reindeer photos, then head home with cookies, a wreath, and whatever survived the heist.

FAQs
You're thinking it.
We thought about it first.
-
Entry for you and your dog, every attraction listed for that event, and the off-leash play yards. Like a fair, some extras cost more: readings, portraits, and other one-on-one experiences are add-ons, booked ahead so nobody waits in line. Spots are limited and go fast. Cocktails and anything sold on-site are also extra.
-
One dog per ticketed person. Bringing two? Bring a friend.
-
Every dog must:
Be at least 6 months old
Be current on Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella
Not be in heat
Have no history of aggression toward people or dogs
Fosters, seniors, and every breed are welcome.
-
Yes. Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella must be current. No exceptions, for everyone’s sake.
-
You know your dog best. Most of the event is on-leash, there’s one staff member for every six dogs, and there’s always room to step away for a breather. If crowds, other dogs, or new sounds tend to push your dog over the edge, sit this one out. If they just need a little space, you’re welcome.
-
Mostly, yes. Dogs stay leashed everywhere except inside the fenced play yards.
-
They’re fully fenced, small and large dogs play separately, and an expert behaviorist runs them. Staff watch every minute, and any dog who isn’t playing nice takes a break. Watch from the side, or enjoy the event while they play.
-
Yes. Water stations are everywhere and dog treats are on us. For you, cocktails, and some bites (celebration dependent) are available for purchase.
-
Yes, all ages are welcome. Kids need their own regular ticket, since there’s no separate child price. You’ll need a valid ID to order a cocktail.
-
Of course. Plenty of people come for the vibe. You’ll need a ticket, and you’ll be surrounded by very good dogs.
-
Your dog on a standard leash and an ID if you’d like a cocktail. Leave retractable leashes and outside food or treats at home.
-
We pick venues with the season and forecast in mind. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll move the event to a rain date and email you right away. Can’t make the new date? We’ll refund you.
-
All sales are final. If something unexpected comes up, reach out and we’ll see what we can do.
