Perfectly peaceful spot. My pup was grateful for all the new to her smells, the clean water and the toys! There was a bit of dog poop around the yard but we booked very (very) last minute in the middle of the day, and it was not a lot or an issue at all!

Abby was very accommodating with our dog, Bear. She made sure her dogs were in daycare during our visit and that her cats were away from the windows. Our dog, Bear did enjoy his time at Abby's place and particularly the trampoline. There's a few spots that he was a little too curious about that if he wasn't being watched he might have gotten himself into trouble-- particularly the front gate, while it shuts and locks, it is not very secure at the ground. It worked well, but if you have a big boy who likes to counter surf, I'd keep an eye on them around the front gate. I also secured the metal grate on the wall out basement window as Bear was really curious about this spot. Other than those small things the spot was good for him to run around and explore before we went to our training session.

Very clean, dogs loved it, there were some spots on the fence where it looked like a big dog had dug, but Abby made sure to cover them all since I was bringing small dogs, and they were really secure during their playtime. There where other dogs nearby but none in sight, We humans had a chance to relax and enjoy the sun while the furry ones ran and played! 100% would recomend.

Yard was super shady in the late afternoon, perfect for getting the crazies out after having to stay inside during the hottest part of the day! and the owner filled up the pool with fresh water, perfect for a good cool off. Her pups were very sweet too!! 💓🐾

Super clean yard! No holes in the fence and plenty of room for my dogs to run and play. Neighborhood was pretty quiet as well. Host was incredibly responsive and accommodating as well, 10/10. Fence was 4’ high at the lowest point (only on one side) and the rest is full wood privacy fence. We did see/hear one dog barking, but it was a few doors down (with 2 or 3 fully-fenced yards between us and the dog) and he wasn’t out for very long - less than 10 minutes. You couldn’t see the dog very well either so it wasn’t a big issue. If your dog is super reactive like mine, it’s worth noting, but there’s a very low chance of it causing any issues whatsoever due to the space and fences between and how quick he went back inside. I just included it here so other dog parents had treats on hand to distract if needed.

The yard was a perfect size for Colt (14) and Barney(10) to zoom. The yard was very clean with a patio area with chairs for owners to relax and keep a eye on furry companions. Easy entry and exit, a large blue trash bin for cleanup bags to be placed . I did bring a water bowl and some bottled water for my pups . The yard faces east so it is sunny and dogs will definitely need water after zooming/sniffing and just soaking up sun while catching their breath. This will be one of your pups/dogs HAPPY PLACES🤗 Have Fun!!!!

FAQ about our Ferndale dog parks
