Just a couple quick deTAILS: 1. Please discourage digging. 2. No professional dog training sessions. Trainers interested in using our property for sessions must contact us directly to make arrangements. Training sessions may NOT be booked through SniffSpot. 3. Off leash does not mean out of control. Please be sure your dog responds to your commands before allowing them off leash. There may be areas in the gates that dogs under 30lbs can squeeze through. Occasionally, the fence may be low in an area due to deer frequently crossing. While we strive to repair this as soon as we notice it, occasionally, it may be missed initially, and the fence may be low enough for a dog to jump if a squirrel catches their eye. This is why it is important to keep your dog leashed if they are NOT command trained. 4. Our property is almost fully wooded, while not required, we recommend a tick and heartworm prevention/protection for your dog. Along with woods comes mosquitoes. We offer repellent, but you may also bring your own. Please remember, we are a wooded Sniffspot. If you are not the outdoorsy type, our spot may not be for you. 5. Please keep Trail Entrance gate closed and LATCHED at all times. 6. Please do not drive up the private driveway. Parking is on the grass, immediately to your left after pulling through the driveway gate. You will see a sign for parking and trails on your left. 7. Our property is a working homestead. There are farm animals. The donkey is in his own enclosure, but is visable. The chickens, turkeys, and ducks typically stay in front but may occasionally wander onto the trails and this js beyond our control. We understand accidents may happen so please just let us know if your dog gets a bird. If you are uncertain how your dog will react to farm animals, please keep them leashed for the first visit to monitor their behavior.

We're so excited to share our love for animals and the outdoors with fellow animal lovers! My husband and I have rescued and adopted many animals over the years. Currently, we are owned by an English Mastiff and a mini Aussie. We feel that allowing dogs to explore new surroundings and scents can keep their minds and bodies young and working. We're happy that we're able to open our trails for your dog's physical and mental enrichment! Here at Lazy Bones Acres Homestead, we are more than a private dog park! We are a small, working, homestead. We offer firewood, eggs, honey, tallow skincare products, farm fresh poultry, and more (based on availability!
Quiet .7 Acre, Fully Fenced, Private Yard In Elgin
Our spot is on a large corner lot on a dead-end street in a quiet, secluded neighborhood. We have one nextdoor neighbor who has no pets, and we have large privacy trees between us. The yard is shaded with established trees, and roughly three quarters of an acre are fenced in with a ranch style wooden fence (the lowest rung is 6 inches above the ground, so our spot is not suitable for tiny dogs who might want to run underneath). The yard is not close to the road, but people occasionally walk by and are visible. We have lots of squirrels and chipmunks to chase. It's a great spot for reactive dogs who need to run or nap in a sun-dappled space and don't do well at a traditional social dog park. We have a large vegetable garden and do not use pesticides in the yard to protect our pollinator friends. Our cozy deck is available with comfortable seating, tables, and wifi. I work from home and am often around if you happen to need anything. We do have a rescued 7 year old pup on the premises, but he will stay inside and away from windows. Come on in and make yourselves at home!

Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Crystal Lake
We’ve got a nice, big 1/3-acre backyard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and play. There are a few trees for shade, and the trampoline, patio, and deck are set up so they don’t take away from the open space. It’s all fenced in with a private entrance — a great spot to relax or enjoy the outdoors.

👋 welcome to our sniff spot! Feel free to open the stall doors in the barn to explore! I didn't realize they closed from our wind storm lol It's been super windy and so many random things are ending up in our pasture, I try to walk it every morning but sometimes.. life lol. With it being cold out, I will do my best to leave water in the barn for your dogs. If I do not, there is always empty bowls & the pool in the barn if you want to fill those up. I'll always message you ahead of time and let you know if I'm home to help out. There are no farm animals here currently and this is a pasture that is now cleaned up and ready for our pups to play in. You can bring chairs, set a fire in the fire pit. * Short grass / tall grass areas / hill in the very back * Fenced but CATTLE fencing so great for larger dogs & dogs with GOOD recall * Wear your cowboy boots and explore the property! * Farm area is separate from our immediate yard up by our house so you have your own space. * you are welcome to drive into the fenced area, drive slowly and carefully. Make sure the gate is wide open and staying put for you. 😊

Come and let your dog explore, play, and swim on our beautiful family farm. Our farm means the world to us and we think you will love it just as much. Our farm lies on 16 acres in Bull Valley, Illinois. Although it is not fenced in, our property is doggy heaven for dogs trained to be off-leash. Come take a walk, bring a frisbee/ball, or just come let your dog sniff and explore. Please do not go into the land beyond the caution tape and signs. That is not part of our sniff spot. We have many farm animals on our property as well. Please be respectful of our property. We take pride in our farm and love sharing it, but we want to keep it beautiful. Entry in any of the barns/buildings is prohibited. Please remain in the back of our property. We do live on the property and appreciate our privacy. FYI, this is a working farm. Sometimes as you are pulling in, there might be cars/people in the barns and lot. Please keep that in mind as you are arriving and if your dog is reactive, bring a leash until you can get into the back field.
