Looking for dog cafes or dog parks near Camp Humphreys? You’ve found them! We will keep updating this blog over time. Jump straight to the dog park list if you are already familiar with Pyeongtaek and animal park rules.
About Camp Humphreys Army Base
For those unfamiliar with Pyeongteak, Camp Humphreys Army Base is a US military base located in Pyeongtaek, South Korea. The base is in the middle of Paengseong-dup which borders Asan-si.
About Dog-Friendly Cafes Near Humphreys
Dog-friendly cafes are popping up across Pyeongtaek, South Korea. Some cafes focus mostly on providing places for dogs to run free, while other cafes focus on the people and allow dogs to come along for the ride if they are on a leash. We have gathered a list of 8 dog-friendly places that we love to visit with our fur babies. We have chosen locations with outdoor areas.
The cafes on this list should be within 30 minutes or less from the base. Since Camp Humphreys sits on the southern border of Pyeongtaek, some of these cafes may exist outside the Pyeongtaek border but remain close enough to easily drive to.
We will continue to add information on dog-friendly spots to the South of Seoul app!
About Dog Parks Near Humphreys
Most dog parks are privately owned and may be referred to as ‘dog cafes’, however, free public dog parks have begun to pop up. Public dog parks are often free and require users to follow strict rules. Private parks may charge only for drinks and others may charge an entrance fee separately from drinks.
Food and drinks at dog parks may be more expensive than at other cafes. They need to do this to afford the large spaces and maintenance costs associated with allowing dogs.
Dog Park and Dog Cafe Rules
Each dog-friendly location near Camp Humphreys may have its own rules. Rules vary depending on the location resources and past experiences. The rules may include:
- Food or drink purchasing requirements
- Size limitations
- Age Limitations
- Limits to group size
- Leasing rules
- Restricted areas
- and more
Make sure you know the rules before entering any dog park or dog cafe. If you do not know the rules, reach out to 1330 for help with the rules associated with the dog park you plan on visiting.
Cultural Notes
Please note that pet ownership only became common in Korea around 2014. The country is still learning how to manage pet ownership and laws. This means things that you think should be a standard may not exist at this moment, but Korea has been working quickly to catch up.
We encourage you to be prepared for things that are confusing and feel uncomfortable. If you have large dogs, you may experience more discomfort than others. Remember that difference does not make another culture bad, it simply makes it different and new skills and systems may be needed to navigate the experience.
Your dog also experiences language barriers and culture shock. Please be careful due to the fact dogs may become agitated when people speak to them in an unfamiliar language. Additionally, remember that Koreans do not know commands for your dog in English and may feel stressed by the fact they can not communicate with you or your pet.
Expect other people to touch your pet without permission. This is a very dangerous situation and you need to be aware it will happen. Unexpected interactions along with unknown languages can cause conflict between cultures.
