Zirconia NC is a picturesque location that offers a unique opportunity for dog owners to enjoy outdoor activities with their canine companions. Our 5.75-acre property provides ample space for dogs to run, play, and socialize. We have two dogs of our own, a Blue Heeler named Cooper and a Pit Collie mix named Drexel. Both dogs are friendly and well-trained, and they serve as excellent examples for dog training sessions. In addition to providing a safe and enjoyable space for dogs, we also offer dog training services. Our experienced trainers can help you understand your dog's behavior and develop effective communication techniques. We offer discounted rates for dog training sessions booked through Sniffspot. We invite you to visit Zirconia NC and experience the beauty of our natural surroundings while enjoying the company of your furry friend.
Welcome to WagWorld! We have our dog resort for doggy daycare, overnight standard and private accommodations. We offer basic grooming.

We will have adult beverages, non-alcoholic, food trucks, live entertainment and special events. WagWorld Woods is behind WagWorld BARn and next to the open area for families and dogs not good with open play. WagWorld Woods Private Dog Park will be completely private during your visit though.
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 been designed for complete privacy for you and your pets. No drive by traffic no people walking by, just you and your kids on 4 flat acres. 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 enjoy off or on leash hikes, then feel free. The trail is outside the fenceing 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. This area is not fenced. A picnic table, gazebo with swing, hammock and umbrella, are located here for lots of seating and shelter. Some toys are provided and even a game of horse shoes for humans! 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. All I want in life is to help people to have balanced dogs in their lives! Enjoy!
Riverside is a serene spot nestled along the scenic French Broad River. Spanning across 16 acres of enchanting woods and open fields, this pet paradise offers a haven for furry companions to frolic, swim, and embrace the great outdoors. Whether your pets enjoy splashing in the river or exploring the lush surroundings, Riverside provides the perfect retreat for them to have a tail-wagging time. Unleash the adventure and create everlasting memories with your four-legged friends at this idyllic spot. Make sure to use Google Maps and follow the included access directions. Apple Maps won't get you anywhere close!
About 3/4 acre is fully fenced, but there is about a half acre unfenced where you can access the lake and our dock. We recommend keeping your dog leashed outside the gate, but if your dog has good recall you'll be fine.
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.
Fully fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. Easy parking, and partial shade. We have ring doorbells at each of our entrances, including the side door where the fenced in yard is.
The Olive & Pearls Canine Social Club is a private, fenced, .5 acre spot made just for dogs. We have agility equipment, dog water fountain, seating for humans, and more!

We offer membership options for those who can see themselves coming on a more frequent basis. Members are given access to special blocked times on the calendar. We are always happy to answer questions, so please do not hesitate to ask!
Welcome to Lucy’s half acre private dog park where you, your family, friends and furry companions can run, play, explore, exercise, relax, and even have a picnic. It’s a great and safe place to be with your loved ones. The park is securely fenced and private.

We provide chairs, hammocks, a glider, a picnic table, kids play equipment, dog toys, water, etc. The park has a slope which can provide a great way for you and your pup to exercise. A nice big area for your pooch to dig is available as well as plenty of spots for your dog to roam and explore. Some areas are uneven and hilly which adds to the fun of exploring. Come and enjoy our secluded private oasis. We hope you will love it as much as we do.
We have over an acre, fully fenced. Pull right up to the marked gate by the out building and go right in. Tall trees provide shade and there is seating. Our dog Oliver shares his toys and we keep a doggy waste station available for easy cleanup. We live in the house on the property with our 3 dogs but want to share our spacious yard with others. Feel free to tag us on IG @avlsharpeilife. Thanks for stopping by.
We have a half acre, fully fenced, safe environment for your play time. A few toys, fresh water bowls, poo bags and a trash can are all provided. Plenty of chairs for the dog moms and dads to relax.
***Blocked dates may actually be available by request, please message me.*** Bring your water loving pups up for a swim! With a 3 acre pond and 3 acres of open space, you’ve got plenty of room for swimming, nose work, ball, or just a good run. Surrounded by woods, this private property is set about a half mile off the road in view of Glassy Mountain. Get some one-on-one time with your very best friend and enjoy the serenity of nature.  Please stay off of the docks until we had a chance to repair them. 
My wife Stephanie and I have a nice size backyard at our primary residence in Canton, NC. From living in condos and apartments, we couldn’t wait any longer to give our beautiful pups a yard to run wild. Oliver is 1 and Gloria is 2 as of July 2024. They are super dog friendly and frequent visitors of Wagbar in Weaverville. They will not be out but if you are interested in socialization that can be arranged as well. Our backyard is spacious for wild running and lots of sniffs. Waste stations are along the fence, there is a hose for washing off (soon a wash station), some pools if wanting to splish splash, and picnic tables for the pet parents to sit and relax while the pups play. A cooler will be outside with cold beverages (water, ice, N/A seltzers and sodas). Toys will be available such as frisbees and balls. Welcome to bring any of your own. Neighbors are super friendly in the case a toy gets thrown above the fence.
This beautiful open space is beside a bubbling creek wtih both sun and shade options. Across the property you will find digging spots (please fill all hoes) mud, grassy areas and plenty of space to explore. There is a water hose to rinse your dog and limited seating at this time. Please check back often as we are in the process of improving the space with additional seating, an agility course, wash station and more.
Big, beautiful backyard in the heart of West Asheville. The yard is completely fenced in and ready for you dogs to enjoy.
A large pasture with fencing around everywhere except the top of the creek crossing running behind it. Bring a towel and enjoy! The bugs are back so a head screen or bug spray might make you more comfortable. Chairs and tables and sometimes a hammock provided creekside! Please do not bring more dogs than you have made your reservation for. If something changes please contact customer service and they can add dogs to your current reservation. I hope you have a fun and restful visit!
Get ready for a paw-tastic time with your furry friend(s) in Asheville's River Arts District! Discover our secluded and spacious backyard, perfect for your pooch(es) to romp around. Enjoy free parking and effortless entry to our secure, fenced-in haven. Just a stone's throw away, you'll find the French Broad River, New Belgium Brewery, and the picturesque Greenway Linear Park. Bring a beverage, kick back in our relaxed, shaded swing chairs, and make the most of your time in our lovely backyard oasis.
X Marks the spot as the property is conveniently located just a couple miles from the intersection of Interstate 26 & Interstate 85 in Wellford, SC. Fenced area at the inground swimming pool, open areas of grass as well as wooded places to romp, discover and get rid of some excess energy!
Large, flat grassy fenced in area for unleashed dogs on a 20 acre farm and wedding venue (Hidden River Events) next to the Swannanoa River. Parking is just outside the fence on the grass. There is a large deck with seating for relaxing while your pup(s) play. If it has rained within 24-48 hours of your visit, the spot will be muddy (even though it is a grass pasture) so it is good to bring towels for your pup. The fenced area has no trees so, there is an umbrella provided. If you use it, please close it before you depart. Horses and goats reside in their own fully contained pastures on the property away from the Sniff Spot.
Just 2 miles from downtown Pickens. Enjoy peace and quiet in the great outdoors lakefront and private. This lake does not allow gas motors and does not have public access so you will probably not see anyone else the whole day there.
If you need a better idea of where it is, it's within walking distance of the East Asheville Farmer's Market, Library, Fire Department, and Wells Fargo. I'm also close to Bull Mountain Rd. A few Announcements: While I make every effort to ensure that my roommate and other guests have cleaned up after their dogs, I have occasionally been informed that they have not. So I must now update the description accordingly. I welcome you to partake of my beautiful backyard in a peaceful neighborhood- as long as you are aware it is possible there is occasional dog poo. Also be advised that if you are extremely sensitive to poison ivy, be aware there may be some in some parts of the yard. If your dog is a curious sort, be aware that there is some yard equipment being stored under the deck and this area is open and not blocked off. I cannot anticipate every guest's need, but I am happy to offer my yard for a small fee to those who understand what is being offered. Thank you! Also, if you should happen to encounter my neighbor in the back left of the yard, please be advised he is unfortunately a little senile and has been known to be a nuissance to several of his neighbors. I don't want to scare you off, as we love our yard and will continue using our yard in the ways we see fit. If his (small) dogs come out while you are there, please be careful with your dogs, and please take anything he says with a grain of salt-, he unfortunately sometimes behaves like your classic grumpy old man. We apologize in advance for anything he says and are working on a solution. It may take some time for that to be implemented. Recommendations: 1) Please clean up after your dog. 2) If you book an evening time, be prepared with a flashlight, or know when the sun sets. I have outside lights, but I can't guarantee they will always be on, and they don't illuminate the whole yard. The space: A wide open space with rolling hills for your dogs to play, while you enjoy the view. *The sprinkler is actually a garden hose that is a "soaker" hose. It sprays water out of it like a sprinkler. There are plenty of sticks you can throw for the dog to fetch. (The location is 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, 5 minutes to Downtown Asheville, and close to the Folk Art Center. The newly renovated Haw Creek library and playground, Creekside Tavern, and High Five Coffee are just down the street. You can also walk to the Haw Creek Farmer's Market from here on Fridays, 3-6 pm. You can walk straight from to the Mountain to Sea trail from here without having to drive, and hike to Lunchbox rock (seen in pictures here.) I included the porch pictures so you could see the sunset. :) ) There is hand sanitizer, sunblock and bug spray under the stairs, under the side of the bottom step that you are welcome to use.i
Huge fenced yard with shaded trees and plenty of room to run and chase balls. I have some agility equipment available to use (nothing fancy, but fun). Yard has leaves because I like them :) Please avoid the area around 10 feet around house to minimize chance of your dog hearing mine :) Please pick up and remove any dog waste and trash from your visit. Poo bags and toys are usually provided for reservations made 24 hours in advance, and I will try my best to make sure last minute reservations have fun goodies too :)
Fully fenced back yard little over 1 acre with some non fenced areas if wanted as well. Tree cover for warm days.
Private farm
My yard is completely fenced on. Sloped area, with small gate and large gate. A shutoff gate is available to close off deck area. There is an area where you could sit a chair.
Fenced in yard. Enough space if your fur baby likes to run
2 acres with woods. All fenced in. As time goes I will add toys, pool, and obstacles. In the country...ish, so sometimes there are gun shots(not all the time) mostly on weekends.
