55They had a blast exploring all the "trails" and didn't waste time starting with a plunge in the pond. There were a couple abandoned dog piles but seems to happen at every sniffspot I go to. Not really owners fault. Overall very clean and well kept. You are guaranteed to leave with a tired pooch here.
55Absolutely stunning 10 acres of running space and a swimming pond. There's nothing quite as lovely as happy, exhausted dogs.
55Such a nice spot! Our two had a blast! Thank you Kathy for a great time!
55We had a great time. Our dogs loved the water and being free for awhile
55We had a blast! My pups were smiling ear to ear. They said this is, paws down, their new favorite spot. So much room to run the pond is amazing. I will be booking many more times!
55Our dogs had another great time sniffing and exploring today.
55my dog had the best time here. he loved walking around the property and interacting with the pond
55This is a GREAT place for dogs to run. Kathy is very frie
55Perfect large rural area for lots of running and exploring! Mixture of pond, wildflowers, grass & trees.
55The pond is absolutely perfect! I love that there are spots that ease into the water so the dogs can splash and run if they don’t want to swim. Our family members and us combined have 5 dogs, so this was a super fun spot to get them together and watch them run and jump in the water. Highly recommend and we will be back.
