About Barn & Bark
At Barn & Bark, we created the kind of dog space we always wished existed — calm, clean, secure, and completely private. Nestled in the Sussex countryside, our indoor dog barn is designed for dogs to play, train, explore, and unwind in a safe all-weather environment.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful private hire space, somewhere to build confidence with a nervous dog, practice training and agility, or simply enjoy quality time without the stress of busy public fields, Barn & Bark offers a welcoming space for both dogs and their humans.
Inside the barn you’ll find thoughtfully arranged agility and enrichment equipment, cosy seating areas, and a warm rustic atmosphere designed to feel relaxed rather than overwhelming. Every detail has been chosen with comfort, safety, and enrichment in mind.
Barn & Bark is ideal for:
Reactive or nervous dogs needing private space
Puppy confidence building and training
Enrichment and scent work
Indoor exercise during poor weather
One-to-one trainer sessions
Calm social sessions with familiar dogs
Owners wanting a beautiful, clean space to enjoy with their dogs
We believe dogs thrive when they have freedom to move, play, and learn in a stress-free environment — and owners deserve a space that feels just as enjoyable for them too.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Barn & Bark 🐾
Our Story
Barn & Bark began with my own little dachshunds and a simple idea — creating a calm, safe, beautiful space where dogs could truly enjoy being dogs.
As dog owners ourselves, we know how difficult it can be to find secure spaces that feel relaxed, private, and welcoming, especially for smaller, sensitive, or reactive dogs. We wanted somewhere that combined enrichment, freedom, comfort, and peace of mind — whatever the weather.
What started as a dream inspired by our own dogs has grown into a warm indoor barn designed for play, training, confidence building, and quality time together. Every detail at Barn & Bark has been thoughtfully created with dogs and their humans in mind, from the cosy atmosphere to the carefully chosen agility and enrichment equipment.
At the heart of Barn & Bark is a love for dogs, countryside charm, and creating a space where every visit feels special.
We’re so excited to share it with you and your dogs.
