Reactive Dog Hours

Reactive Dog Hours at the AKC Museum of the Dog

Reactive Dog Hours provide a special opportunity for dogs and their humans to explore the Museum in a calm, stress-free environment. If you’d like to visit alongside your pet but are concerned about how your pup might react to other guests or dogs, this exclusive experience is designed just for you. 

During these dedicated hours, the Museum is open only to you and your dog, providing a peaceful, judgment-free space to enjoy art and celebrate your bond.
