Kannapolis Private Dog Space – 5+ Acres, Pond, Creek & Natural Trails

Give your dog the freedom they were meant to have. This private, peaceful property offers over five acres of open land and natural terrain, perfect for dogs who love to run, explore, sniff, and play at their own pace. Dogs are welcome to roam freely on or off leash, depending on your comfort level. The wide-open space allows for safe exploration, recall training, scent work, or simply letting your dog enjoy being a dog. ✨ What makes this spot special: • Natural pond available for dogs who enjoy water play • Shallow creek that’s easily accessible and safe for splashing and exploring • Plenty of trees and natural scents, ideal for enrichment, sniffing, and mental stimulation • Large open areas for running and burning off energy • Shaded areas throughout the property so both dogs and owners can take breaks and relax • Metal gate at the entrance that can be closed for added peace of mind during your visit This space is especially great for dogs who prefer privacy, need room to move without distractions, or enjoy a more natural environment compared to traditional dog parks. You’ll find a quiet, nature-filled setting where you can unwind while your dog explores freely — whether that means running full speed, following scents through the trees, or cooling off in the water. Come enjoy a calm, private outdoor experience designed for dogs and their people.

Where Dogs can be Dogs

Facebook video for property description! https://www.facebook.com/reel/857593750109937 This is a very quiet place on a country road where your dogs can be off leash and free to explore nature. The full four acres are surrounded by a 5 foot fence and there is a small creek running through the property. There is a wide spot in the creek that is easily the most popular spot for our canine visitors! In the summer, though, the creek dries up until the fall rains come. You can always message us to find out if there is water in the creek before your visit. There are larger fields and open areas for your dogs to practice their retrieving, and there are many paths in the woods for hiking. The beginning of each path is marked with quartz stones to show you the way. You will also find several benches scattered throughout the property so that you can take a load off while your dogs run and play. When it rains the property can be quite wet in some areas, so bring boots and a towel to clean off your muddy (but happy!) dog. There is a full competition size agility field within the four acres. The agility equipment is completely fenced in and will be accessible only to those who have had at least one formal beginner's agility class. This is to keep you and your dog safe and to prevent misuse of the equipment. Please message the host when you book the spot and before your first visit to discuss your agility experience if you are wanting to access the equipment. **I would really like for your first visit to be on a weekend or a Tuesday (my day off) so that I can meet with you to show you some details about the property and discuss parking. After the first visit, book whenever you want! If you absolutely cannot make it these days for your first visit, we can work something out. 🙂

Mindful Dog Park in Uptown

Dog Paradise in Northwest Charlotte

**The pool is closed for the season.** Welcome! We have a fun property your dogs will love! We have a 2 acre property, which includes approximately a half acre fenced area, a 1 acre unfenced area, and a separately fenced inground pool area. Only dogs are allowed in the swimming pool (unless you're actively helping or playing with them). Two creeks outline our property and dogs are welcome anywhere on the property. We tend to keep the grass in the back of the property a bit longer to support the bees, but it also makes for lots more sniffing for the pups! If you're using the unfenced portion of the yard, dogs must be on leash. We have dogs of our own, but we will keep them secure in the house when you're using the property so you'll have the whole yard and pool to yourself. Please see the amenities and access instructions portions of our profile for more information! We bought our property specifically for our own dogs to enjoy, so we know yours will love it too. We look forward to having you!
