✨ Welcome to Our Indoor SniffSpot! ✨ After losing our original training center to the hurricane, we were incredibly fortunate to rebuild — and we’re so excited to now share this space with the community as an indoor SniffSpot when it isn’t being used for our training services. This space was created with love, resilience, and dogs in mind, and we can’t wait for you and your pup to enjoy it! Because this is a brand-new offering, we’re sure there will be a few kinks to work out along the way, and we truly appreciate your patience as we learn and grow. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any feedback, ideas, or special requests — we want this to be a great experience for everyone. 🐶 A few quick housekeeping reminders: • Please clean up after your dog. Accidents happen — no worries! Just use the provided poop bags, mop, rags, and spray to clean up. • A poop trash can and scoop are located in the dog run for your convenience. • If you use the water bowls, please empty them in the sink at the end of your reservation. • Please return the space to the way you found it, including putting any toys or equipment back in their designated spots. 📹 Security Reminder: For the safety of our guests, dogs, and facility, this space is monitored by security cameras. Thank you for being part of this new chapter with us — we are so grateful to share this space with you and your dog 💛🐾

Abigail's Barkyard Basecamp!

Fully Fenced
0.4 acres

The yard has two private gated entrances on either side of the home, perched at the top of the hill for a quiet, secure experience. Make yourself at home and relax on the comfy outdoor furniture by the firepit or sway in the hammock while your pup zoomies to their heart’s content. We provide plenty of dog toys for tug or toss, plus tennis balls and throwers for the Fetch Fanatics—and yes, there’s even a fancy pooper scooper to save your back. Our neighbors on either side do have dogs, and you may occasionally see them out and about in the distance-- but they mind their own business (though the Husky on one side might yodel a hello), and all fencing is private/ not shared so there is no possible fence contact. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so an indoor bathroom is available if needed, along with high-speed WiFi and extenders if you need to stay connected during your visit. We also have two mini Aussies (one tiny, one delightfully shmedium). They can be kept inside for a completely private visit, or—if your dog is social—they’re happy to come out and play. Both are friendly, non-reactive, and gentle, and their company is always optional. We totally understand that sometimes you want a private dog park for a reason!

#3 Fun field for a furry frenzy 3- Field of Dreams in Fletcher

Fully Fenced
4 acres

1/2/26- New entrance! Just down the fence line across from the gazebo! Have you ever wanted to run your dog on three football sized flat fields? This is your chance. Located behind UPM Raflatac in the cane creek industrial park this huge spot is the third one we have built. It’s perfect for all ages of dogs and their humans because of the terrain! If you are up for an adventure, we have cut in a small trail to access Cane Creek. It is part of the same property but is NOT fenced in any way. If your pup enjoys off or on leash hikes, then feel free. The trail is outside the fencing look for the silver gate across from the Gazbo. It is an out and back path with two small hills about a 3-5min walk in the woods. A picnic table, gazebo with swing, and hammock are located here for lots of seating and shelter. Some toys are provided. I think a Remote Control car or a drone, a mountain bike might be really fun to bring or even a Remote Control plane. This spot is actually part of the old Fletcher airport. No Digging! PLEASE! All I want in life is to help people to have balanced dogs in their lives! Enjoy!

Pondside Paws Park

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Welcome to Pondside Paws Park, located in a quiet valley 15 minutes outside of downtown Asheville NC. Here you will find a peaceful, fully fenced in half acre lot with a pond for your pups to swim, romp, sniff, play and have a great time. For those more adventurous dogs, there's even a dock for jumping into the pond! There are opportunities for enjoying the pond regardless of your dog's age or exercise ability, as there is a shallow area with tall grass for wading and splashing, and a deeper area for swimming. The slope of the land is gentle for those older dogs as well- this spot is suitable for dogs of all ages and abilities. For the humans, we have several seating options including a picnic table and 4 chairs under a shade sail. Bug spray, sunscreen, fresh drinking water for the dogs and a tote full of toys is also provided in the weatherproof storage shed next to the seating area. Waste bags are available if needed, although we appreciate people bringing their own, and there is a waste container located at the entrance, next to the kiddie pool that is used to rinse off muddy paws. It's recommended that you bring a towel to dry them off before getting back into your car. We hope you enjoy the spot and leave it as you found it for others to enjoy as well.
