THE SANDBOX DOG POLICY
THE SANDBOX Paso Robles is a dog-friendly workplace for our members with office and dedicated desk memberships. Currently coworking members and day pass users are not allowed to bring dogs to THE SANDBOX.
Any member bringing a dog (hereafter “Dog Owners”) to THE SANDBOX Paso Robles shall be respectfully attentive to other members who may be uncomfortable or distracted by the pet’s behavior and proactively address distractions as well as be open to other members suggestions on how to improve distractions.
At all times, Dog Owners shall:
- Release THE SANDBOX Paso Robles (Kaldera Collective LLC) of all liability concerning issues related to their dog.
- Be a SANDBOX member with an office or desk membership. Anytime your pet is in the workspace you must keep it in your office with the door closed or a pet gate in place so that your pet remains in your office.
- Be 100% responsible, 100% of the time, for your pet’s well-being, behavior, and biological needs. Biological needs including scooping, bagging, cleaning, and sanitizing as needed to maintain the workplace in its proper condition.
- Be responsible for cleaning up all of your pet’s waste inside (such as accidents) and outside of the building. Waste should be disposed of properly in a trash receptacle outside of the building.
- Immediately take your pet home at any time if your pet’s behavior or health makes it a distraction, danger, or nuisance to any members or guests in the workspace.
- Be with your dog at all times while the pet is in the workspace. Pets are not to be left unattended in offices if you are out of the workspace or attending an event or meeting elsewhere in the workspace.
- Dog Owners shall maintain a homeowners OR renters insurance policy that does NOT exclude dog bites or have specific breed exclusions. This is to protect THE SANDBOX Paso Robles, our members and guests, and you. A copy of this insurance policy needs to be on-file with THE SANDBOX Santa Barbara prior to your dog entering the workspace.
- Dog Owners understand that THE SANDBOX is on a VERY busy street and THE SANDBOX has nothing to do with your dog’s interaction with the street, cars, trucks, bikes, pedestrians, etc.
All dogs MUST be:
- At least 9 months old

Zero Tolerance Policy
- No one is perfect, but we expect your dog to be. The privilege of bringing your dog to THE SANDBOX Paso Robles can be revoked at any time at the discretion of THE SANDBOX Paso Robles staff and for any single incident. Remedial measures may be agreed to between THE SANDBOX Paso Robles and the Pet Owner if the privilege is revoked.
- Dogs don’t tend to bark, whine, scratch, jump, or bite just once, and so all incidents, even first-time incidents, will be treated as repeat problems.
- The workplace is not a training ground for you and your pet to work on behavioral issues.
