55Lovely place the dogs had a blast and the host is wonderful
55Easy to find and access. The fenced area is so convenient and the pond area is beautiful! My only issue was I couldnt find the trash receptacle to put 💩
55My pup loved it so much that she didn't want to leave...for real. If only I had gotten that part on film 🎥🤣
55Had a great time! Make sure you take towels if your dogs are swimmers! We will be back for sure!
55Cleo loved Hot Diggity Dog Retreat! We spent the hour exploring the pond and the woods around it. Although beyond the fenced area, it’s secluded and private and well contained. I didn’t worry at all about her. She loved sniffing through the woods, and found a creek that she especially liked. Perhaps it was the baby deer that she found along it and then chased? (I’ve never heard a deer screech before - luckily, she didn’t get it). The grassed area around the one side of the pond is lush and green and provided a nice open area for her to run. I’m pretty sure she figured out how to circle the entire pond- even through the wooded areas. The site is very clean and well kept, and did not disappoint. I only wish it were closer so we could go more often!
55Another great time at this spot!
5510/10 a perfect destination for you and your pups to explore and use there sniffers. Immediately alone entering the fenced in yard both our dogs took off! They had the wind blowing in their hair with huge smiles on their faces. Which in return gave us smiles. The property is well taken care of and the host was very attentive and responsive when I had questions. We will definitely treat ourselves again. Thank you!
55My dog's loved this place. The pond was kind of in the wood which was great because they could explore and then cool off as well.
55Another great day at our favorite spot!
55We had such a good time this morning. The fenced in area was great for lots of rounds of fetch with both dogs. After we played in the fenced area, I took the dogs to the pond area. One explored safely off-lead while his more impulsive brother took in the sites and smells on-lead. We will definitely be back and hopefully have time to stop at the store afterwards!

Where Dogs can be Dogs

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! 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. 🙂
