Stephanie's 2 Acre Country Private Dog Park In Bolivia

Partially Fenced

Welcome to my little patch of doggie heaven. Available is a large area, unfenced and exposes your pups to a kept yard, wild grasses, and wooded area to buffer the street beyond. There is also a very short path that can be traversed. A smaller area is also partially fenced if needed, although the integrity of the fencing in the wooded area can not be guaranteed. Pet parents are welcome to enjoy the hammock & chairs responsibly. Please clean up after yourselves and pets. There are 3 cats on the property that stay on the porch. If that's an issue, they can be placed inside, given enough time.

What a fun place to be! Very relaxing, big yard! My dogs ran around and had a blast on the agility equipment. Water is set out for you and your dog ( dog bowls too) also bug spray if needed. Next time i am adding the option to try some beer , wine and see what snacks they have. Time flew by! Will be booking here again.

Wonderful opportunity for my two dogs to play in a park safely. Tons of activities for the dogs to partake in. There was music to enjoy and plenty of seating. Water available for the dogs as well. I will be making this a weekly event. Great park with the best owners!

My pup loved his time here and it was very comfortable for both of us! Having a reactive dog can be hard to find places like this, and it was perfect. The owner even checked on us and walked us out in case other dogs were around. We had everything we needed: cold water, bowls, agility equipment, and toys. Goose and I will be becoming regulars :)
