Dioji Santa Barbara

A day here, start to finish.

Dioji Santa Barbara is on Yanonali Street, a left turn off Milpas. Dogs arrive when we open at 7am on weekdays (8am on weekends), play off leash in groups our team puts together, and nap on raised cots when they have had enough. No crates and no runs.

Every new dog starts with a free evaluation day, so our team knows how your dog plays before they join a group.
