This is a very quiet neighborhood at the top of a ridge in Irondale, Alabama, just outside Birmingham. The line with Birmingham is about a block from my house. The entire property is a half of acre with a quarter of an acre in the back. It is fully fenced and reinforced with chicken wire that is hard to see but keeps the backyard safe for anyone trying to get in or more importantly anyone trying to get out. There is driveway parking and a fence for entry to the backyard on each side of the property. One of which is directly in front of the parking area. Unfortunately the water in the back is currently having issues, but I am happy to fill water bowls for you or I can leave out a bottle of water for you to fill your own bowl. There are neighbors on each side. The neighbor to the right has a very easy going golden retriever. My dog is a Labrador. There are other dogs that are on other properties and at 5:30 on weekdays. They usually bark and greet each other for yappy hour. They usually lay against the fences and spend time with each other. It's very sweet and a safe way to meet each other. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. My time is very flexible and if you let me know in advance I am happy too. Either leave things open for you or meet you here. Feel free to ask any questions.

My backyard is a fully fenced, secure 0.5-acre haven perfect for dog owners looking for a private space to let their dogs play. The area is shaded, offering a cool and relaxing environment, with plenty of room for dogs to run freely. While I don't have pets myself, I rent this space to dog owners who want a safe, peaceful alternative to crowded parks.

FAQ about our Irondale dog parks

Are dog parks good for dogs?

It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks.

Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
