Paw-sitively Clean Air – Potty Outside, Party Inside
Clean air and good habits make for happy pets—and even happier pet parents. At Barkingham Palace, we live by our royal mantra: Potty Outside, Party Inside. It’s not just a slogan—it’s a philosophy that keeps our facility clean, our guests well-trained, and our parents grateful.
Many pet care providers rely on indoor spaces for potty breaks, but we proudly maintain outdoor potty fields. It’s a thoughtful distinction that supports your training at home, preserves a healthy environment, and avoids the stress of dirty paws and mixed signals.
Why Potty Training Matters

It’s about more than cleanliness
At Barkingham Palace, our potty policy reinforces good behavior while protecting your dog’s routine. Dogs quickly understand that outside means bathroom time, keeping their indoor spaces—and yours—mess-free.
This approach also supports boarding transitions, reduces anxiety, and helps maintain habits even when your dog returns home.
A Cleaner, Healthier Environment
Proper Potty Protocol
At Barkingham Palace, all dogs are taken outside to a designated potty field—never left to relieve themselves in their enclosures. This clear routine reinforces the critical distinction between play space and potty space. Letting dogs potty indoors, as is common in many other do boarding facilities can create confusion and lead to unwanted accidents at home. At BP, our commitment to “Potty Outside, Party Inside!” ensures our guests don’t pick up bad habits during their stay. It keeps their routine consistent, the environment fresh, and your royal companion on track. After all, comfort and cleanliness go paw and paw at Barkingham Palace.

Fresh air for every guest
By keeping all potty activity outside, we reduce indoor odors and improve air quality throughout our suites and play areas. This means your pup enjoys a fresher stay, and our staff can maintain a higher standard of cleanliness.
Clean environments lead to healthier pets—and it shows in every tail wag.

Consistency Is Royalty

What happens at Barkingham stays consistent
Whether your dog stays for the day or the week, they’ll experience the same clear expectations every time. This consistency builds confidence and reduces the likelihood of potty accidents.
Our team is trained to reinforce routines kindly and effectively, always working in harmony with your at-home habits.
