40 acres of private hiking trails + 1 acre fully fenced

Fully Fenced

40 acres

We are a 40 acre private family run horse ranch. We boast 2.3 miles of private trail systems perfect for those tired of the dangers of loose uncontrolled dogs in our public spaces. The 1 acre grass pasture is fully enclosed with no climb 6ft fencing, and grounded wire, and our onsite creek makes for the perfect place to cool off on a sunny day. We are a quiet, serene place to work or play just minutes from the hustle and bustle of city life. More about our trails: -Our Trails are PRIVATE PROPERTY, with no public access. -Our immediate neighbors, can and do occasionally walk on our property with or without their well behaved dogs. I ride/or walk our trails daily and I may see someone a few times in a month IF THAT, but there IS a possibility you could see a friendly pair in passing if all the stars align. -Our property’s outermost fence line at the very top of our hill boarders regional park land which is fenced by 4 strands of barbed wire. If your dog does not have a recall, it is suggested to leash at the marked point, as there is potential to see people off in the distance at the other side of the fence line. -We are an active farm and rotationally graze horses, pigs, cows, and chickens across our broad acreage. We both spread, and till our land to sustainably retain its beauty, and fertility. If you have a poop roller please by advised we have towels and hoses available onsite for use upon departure. Dog poop is removed from our grounds immediately. Manure from our ruminants IS NOT, as it is an integral part of our sustainability practice. Please book elsewhere if this is a problem, -No Farm animals are visible or audible on trail, though we do have an abundance of deer and wild turkey. Want to see what our trails look like? Copy and paste the link into your browser—-> https://youtube.com/shorts/ol0JSUWvkY0?si=fYxEcKmdomY1XLtE More about the one acre pasture: -Upon arrival, you will be parked in front of one of our horse barns. You may see a horse poke its head out of a window at that time. Beyond that your dog will not be able to see them from the pasture. -Our favorite Resident Moo Tootsie, and her 2 calves may be visual off in the distance, but are separated by a road and 2 fence lines. -There are no visual or audible dogs. -We are an active farm and rotationally graze horses, pigs, cows, and chickens across our broad acreage. We both spread, and till our land to sustainably retain its beauty, and fertility. If you have a poop roller please by advised we have towels and hoses available onsite for use upon departure.

The pool is chlorinated and professionally cleaned weekly. We provide S/M/L size dog life jackets (1 jacket for each size) and some pool toys. The water temperature largely depends on the weather conditions. Due to the cold weather and rain recently, the pool water temperature is around 60-64 F degree at noon(early November). We had some big pups(golden retriever, bernedoodle, and labs) come to swim and they all had a lot of fun. However, some small dogs might feel cold in the water and the pool in November is unsuitable for people to swim. 2 guests come free with the 1st dog. Any additional dog includes 1 additional guest at no extra charge. If you have extra guests coming, please select the correct number of additional guests in the EXTRAS. Extra guest is $15/person/hour. Total 6 guests max. Sorry the pool is not suitable for children. Children under 16 years old are not allowed to enter the property for safety reasons.

As this is mainly the dog pool, dogs constantly bring oil/dust/dirt to the pool. We clean after each visit and the filter system is on but there is a limit to how much the filter system can handle. Generally, the water is clearer on weekdays compared to weekends. *Please do not touch any pool system control in the backyard. You will be responsible for the damage if misused. *This is a quiet neighborhood, please respect our neighbors so no screaming/yelling/loud music/pool parties. *Dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting the pool area, only off-leash your dog once the pool gate is locked. *The pool area is fenced.

We love all dogs and welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes and hair types to visit; however we can only offer pool access for non-shedding pups, as long hair and fur was unfortunately causing damage to the pool equipment; If you are booking for more than one non-shedding dog swimming or for longer than an hour, please message us with info about your dog(s) and we will create an extra for you for the number of dogs you have swimming. Most visitors find the lawn size ample for running around and throwing a ball a bit, but if you are looking for a field to throw a tennis ball as far as you possibly can with a Chuck-it, the yard is not really the right size and shape for that, sorry! Hours right now are 7:00am to 6:00pm. We look forward to your visit!

A lovely day sniffing at Jaclyn’s spot. The yard is spacious with some areas of overgrown brush. Our dog did not mind it one bit though and spent the entire hour exploring to her content. Two trees loaded with apples were a bonus.

August 2023

Sawyer had a great time at Jaclyn’s Sniffspot! He’s a big guy and her yard definitely has the space for him to safely run around, check the perimeter and take in all the new smells. His favorite might have been the bunny hutches (bunnies not present during Sniffspot hours). Parking was easy in the quiet neighborhood. Water + bowl was accessible along w some balls and poop bags. Biggest plus is that there were NO FOXTAILS! He’d just had an incident last week at the lake and had to get some removed. I didn’t have to worry about that here. He’s a bigger dog so I made a point to show him which stairs to take to go up and down. And suggest visitors to just keep the steps and where you’re walking in mind as you’re playing. We’ll be back soon! P.s. Jaclyn’s sign is by far the cutest Sniffspot sign we’ve come across!

My very large dog had plenty of room to sniff and explore. The fencing was secure. The entry was clearly marked. There is seating for humans in the shade or sun. The host had water bowls and a hose, poop bags, a pail to throw bags away and hand sanitizer. I think this has been my dog’s favorite Sniffspot so far.

Maja W.

August 2023

Cute and clean little yard with a grassy area that the dogs really liked to explore. The other gate (not the one you enter from) has a small under gap that my 10 lbs dog could squeeze out from, so if you have a smaller dog watch out for that. Area is quiet, calm and fully fenced. Overall very nice spot ☺️ Thanks for having us!

Clarence gets so excited when we pull up. He tries jumping out of the car while still attached to his seatbelt. He has such a good time and hates to leave. It’s so nice to let him roam around and not worry about foxtails.

Jeremy Y.

September 2023

Great spot as always! Appreciate that Jackie covered the small opening under the fence right side of the house after some feedback for the small pups. Love the new tan bark and ledge decor. My dog’s needs were fulfilled running and sniffing around. He kept busy for the whole hour. Reminder that this is also a shared space for fellow users and their dogs. This was only our second time but I’ve picked up dog waste again left behind from previous guests. Which look like it was from the same dog by the size and look (gross, I know). Please keep an eye on your dogs and pick up after them so we can keep enjoying the space without worry as it was intended to be.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?

Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
