Robert's 0.62 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Valparaiso

0.62 acres

Treat your best friend to 4 partly wooded acres with a stream for them to splash around in. They will get wet and a little/a lot muddy. There is a privacy fence running along the main road but your dogs will need supervision because they can venture out to heavily wooded land that is hard to monitor. Be sure they have flea and tick protection since this is a wooded area.

Bonnie's 12 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Morris

12 acres

12.5 acres. No fence. Good for dog swimming or running free if they are off leash trained! There is a wide open space up front or if you choose to go around the back of the house there is a sand beach shallow at the beach area. And more open spots to run on this 12 acres . Ask all guests to come and leave during your time slot. I have a dog that is not friendly with others. So it’s important for the safety of everyone to come during your slot. The water has a blue dye that is safe for people and animals. It’s a dye that aids in blocking uv rays. Please be sure to check weather. If we get heavy rain it can get muddy in areas. Garbage by our barn see photos. Check parking info. Do not park and block the garages. There is a picture under parking info.
