Mission

Welcoming ways to connect

Create consent-first opportunities for adults to explore pup play, learn and meet community in privacy-aware spaces.

Vision

A trusted Maryland community hub

Build a recurring home for information, education, events and connection that can grow responsibly over time.

Current stage

Community-built, still evolving

BarkMore is not a formal club or venue. It is a community initiative being shaped with care and accountability.

What holds the community together

Consent-first

Clear, ongoing and specific consent comes before interaction.

Privacy-forward

People control what they share, where they share it and with whom.

Beginner-friendly

No experience, gear or finished label is required to start learning.

Baltimore + Maryland

Local roots with responsible regional openness.

For people finding their place

BarkMore welcomes adults who are curious, new, experienced, adjacent, supportive or still deciding what language fits. Respect matters more than having a particular role, look or level of experience.
