55Haku had a great time. The only negative would be the parking is hard to get out with a large suv. You park on the side of a stone wall. Besides that it was great.
55This sniffspot was fantastic, was exactly as described and was well labeled. Alice accommodated our last minute booking and provided clear instructions. My dogs had an absolute blast running through the wooded area, sniffing the perimeter, and checking out the various logs and sticks. Would definitely come again when we're in the area!
45Very nice, large, wooded back yard. The dogs really enjoyed themselves. I have to dock one star because the area is fairly well overrun with what appears to be poison ivy, and of course the dogs run through it. This would be simple to fix with a pump sprayer and some Ortho poison ivy killer.
55My dog loved this spot! Soo many sticks to choose from
55Great wooded area, my dogs had a blast! I highly recommend remembering to bring bug spray, I was massacred earlier but it was entirely my fault for forgetting it. Host was quickly responsive for issues with the fence, will definitely be back! Lots of sticks to toss around, and plenty of room to run!
55This was our first sniff spot and quite a drive from our house but we will definitely be back! Our pup is very active but he was tuckered out after 30mins. The property is sloped with lots of bumps and exposed roots, so I wouldn’t recommend if you have mobility issues. But for us it was perfect for running, jumping, climbing, and playing hide and seek. Thanks to the host for a great spot!
55It’s a nice large area, and the fact that it’s on a hillside provides some good exercise for me as well as for my dog!
55Nice place to visit! Easy to find! Very nice hosts.
55Perfect example of a SniffSpot! Lots of room to roam, with so much to explore! On the top of my list and will definitely visit again!
55Awesome little piece of land! My pup had a great time

Description

Find us on Facebook! Search: Hound Hill, 1 acre fenced private dog park in West Avon Hound Hill is a fully fenced one acre wooded doggy paradise. We have our own pack of four dogs and created this space for them. They use the large yard daily but will always be secured inside the house for the entirety of your visit. Hound hill is an unimproved wooded area, but we have cleared brush, leaves and sticks for easier walking and playing with your dog. Our fence is mesh critter fence which is wildlife friendly for the deer, bears, bobcats and other animals that travel through our property. If you are looking for a large space for fetch or just to let your dog explore then this is the place! Please note that the dog park is on a hill and there are no paved or flat areas within the park. It is recommended that you wear good shoes with traction and are comfortable walking through an unimproved wooded area. There are rocks, sticks, leaves and uneven terrain. If you have physical limitations this park may be very difficult for you to use. When you arrive please take time to walk the fence line with your dog on leash first to ensure the fence is intact. Due to the nature of critter fencing and the abundance of wildlife, we have had occasional breaks caused by deer and bear as well as branches that have fallen. If you spot any issue please message the host and they will immediately address the issue. We love this fence because it does not entangle the wild animals and is very easy to repair. This means we have to inspect it often, and we do, but for the safety of all we encourage each doggie chaperone to do their own visual inspection before allowing dogs free rein. We do treat the area with cedar oil for ticks. We do not use any herbicides or pesticides or fertilizer. Please pull all the way into the drive and park in the gravel spot to the left of the garage. There is marked parking for one vehicle. If you have additional vehicles please park the second vehicle in the culdesac and walk in. Do not block the garage doors. Enter and exit through the gate directly in front of the parking spot. Please do not use the gate on the other side of the lot for any reason. Please do not use the smaller fenced area directly off the back of the house. Please pick up after your dog. Removal of dog waste is imperative in order for us to continue to offer this spot. Water is available via the hose located on the fence near the trash can. The white plastic container can be filled as needed. Please dump the water when you are finished and place the bowl upside down to keep it from collecting rainwater. Thank you so much for visiting, I love seeing our clients and their dogs enjoy themselves so much while playing freely!
