55Allisons private dog park was the perfect place for our dog to both run and relax today. We were able to drive right in to the space so didn't need to leash our dog at all. The I acre space is mostly grass so great running space...and not muddy. There are old fruit trees and plantings dispersed so its interesting space. There is also a massive firepit with large seating rocks and a log for seating. Good to chill out after running & zooming.
Our dog who is normally very reactive and barks incessantly especially at new people, gave a few barks but instantly was just excited to meet Allison and stopped barking. It felt like an incredible breakthrough moment for us. There are people visible in surrounding yards but for the most part our typically reactive dog wasn't even bothered.
If your dog likes to fetch or pkay with toys you'll need to bring them with you. We forgot ours today but luckily, there was a a left behind tennis ball.
A great space with a lovely host and we plan to visit often. Rozarii L.

55This is a big, lovely, fenced property in a quiet area. Parking and access were easy. The dogs had a great time running and chasing in the open grassy spaces or circling the garden areas for extra fun. The fencing was secure, and while the spot does share fence lines with two neighbors, we saw no one out. We brought our own water, bowls, and toys for the dogs. It was a very pleasant first visit and we would gladly return. Ann J.

55As anither reviewer mentiobed, there are dogs in neighboring properties on each side. The fence is chain link so very visible. Initially we were a little concerned as we didn't know how our recently adopted dog would react. He is very reactive to dogs & people on walks - hence the reason we can't walk him and have to use sniff spots instead. The wonderful thing for us was to watch our dog interact so well with the neighboring dogs. No aggression on any part. Our dog exercised himself twice as much by running back & forth between us and the neighboring fences to visit the other dogs. For us it enhances our experience.
Also , of note. The neighborhood was very quiet on visits during the week. It was much busier with people and children walking on the road & visible on the weekend. A good mix for us as we help our dog get used to environmental stimulants. Rozarii L.

55Place was a good size. Perfect for a sunny day because there’s trees throughout that provide pockets of nice shade. Want to just keep a good eye out since there’s twigs and pine cones all over that your fury friends might try to eat. Bring water/bowl and toys as we didn’t see any there. Alea C.

55The dogs had a great time playing today. This is a big beautiful yard with lots of space to run and chase. There is plenty of grass and interesting places to sniff. We did experience the neighbor's dogs barking at the fence toward the end of our visit. It was a bit disruptive but we worked to help our dogs through it and return to their play. A shared fence with other dogs is not ideal for a sniff spot but we were able to use it as a training opportunity. This is still a spot we will visit again. Ann J.

55My 2 pups has a great time! Lots of good sniffing: grass, trees, piles of brush. Everything a canine snoot could want. Ample room for running and throwing a ball. Good amount of shade for those warmer days.
We did experience 3 dogs in the neighbor's yard. They barked when they saw our dogs. Two left but one (livestock guardian type mix?) continued to bark and let us know s/he was there 😄. My dogs are typically VERY reactive to other dogs, but for whatever reason my pups mostly ignored the neighbor dogs. I was really surprised and delighted.
Would definitely visit again!Jayne O.

55This yard is very cute and a nice size! My dogs loved every second of it running around and sniffing everything. It’s a really nice touch that you can drive your vehicle into the yard so you can just unload your dogs and let um roam.
There was 2 big fluffy dogs next door that your dog can pretty much go nose to nose with through the chain link but they aren’t aggressive, just a little barky. My dogs actually did very well with them so I was fine with it. The owner is also very upfront and lets that be known in their profile.
I will definitely be back! AMBER M.

55Omigosh I can’t even tell you how cute it was to watch my dog play in her sprinkler! Classic! So glad I mentioned the splash pad. The yard was just as described. Major came out to play, tried to show sasha how to run laps around the entire front and back yard but she was more interested in what could’ve been perceived as a drinking water attack on the shark sprinkler. Overall it was a great time, I recommend and will be booking again! Crystal J.
