One of the best-loved boarding, training, grooming and doggie daycare facilities in the city, the Barking Lot vows to fulfill your dog's needs "all under one woof." (Puns are apparently gratis.) Letting the frolicking fun continue through the winter, playtime takes place in a 3,000-square-foot playroom every Saturday afternoon from 4-6 p.m., November through February. Admission is $10 per dog, and that price will buy you a very exhausted and happy best friend. Call in advance, and make sure to check out The Barking Lot's shop, where the emphasis is on healthy and chemical-free products.
