Description

Lazy Bones Acres offers 5 acres of wooded hiking trails for you and your furry companion to enjoy. Pack a lunch to enjoy on one of our picnic tables along the way or simply take in the peacefulness of the forest and wildlife. Listen to the squirrels chase each other in the tree tops, the woodpeckers pecking away in a nearby tree, or the geese honking at a nearby pond. Wildlife that are commonly seen on visits include deer, rabbits, wild turkeys, chipmunks, a beautiful array of wild birds, and much more. *Our terrain is uneven as it goes through woods. If you have trouble with balance or walking, please reconsider your visit to our property for your safety. Trails are kept clear, but raspberry and blackberry bushes present thorns, please use caution with these prickers. ** Our spot is fully fenced, however if your dog is not command trained we do not recommend letting them off leash. Dogs have a natural instinct to chase the rabbits and squirrels we have. PLEASE FOLLOW OUR FACEBOOK PAGE TO STAY UP TO DATE ON NEWS, TRAIL CLOSURES, AND ANY OTHER CHANGES. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088681414885&mibextid=ZbWKwL

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Our trails are wooded. While we strive to keep our trails fully groomed and clear, part of the outdoor experience means there may be burrs, thorns, mud, ticks, wild animals, and uneven terrain. If you have balance trouble or struggle while walking, we encourage you to reconsider your visit to our trails for your safety. While our spot is fully fenced, if your dog is not command trained, we do not recommend letting them off leash. Dogs have a natural instinct to chase the squirrels and rabbits we have here. *Pet First Aid Kit (along with some human supplies) and bug spray are in the dog house by the Trail Entrance.

Additional rules

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. 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, and more!

My dogs love running around the shed and the trees, and I'm sure your dogs will too! I've got a spicket/bowl set-up as well as some balls/rope toys available up on request! Lots of shade and some seating available.
