55A very nice space!!
45The shire is a spacious and grassy area with a cozy covered area for humans. There was a dog outside at the next door neighbors house running the fence line and although they seem friendly, my reactive pup barked and ran the whole time. It doesn’t bother me but you should be aware if you have a reactive dog. The fence could use some updating, a large easily escapable gap on the south side is where I spent most of the hour making sure my dog didn’t escape. Also the compost pile in the yard was hard to distract her from eating. I think for most dogs this would be a great spot but probably not for us again.
55Great spot with lots of room to play fetch
55This is one of the best Sniff spots around hands-down the owner Amanda of the Shire is willing to help out with my busy schedule. There are times when I have to switch sometimes and she accommodates or if I need to come later, she’ll accommodate I really appreciate her letting us use her beautiful property. We were just there today. My dog absolutely loves it, thank you again for sharing your beautiful home and property and your kindness and friendship is just so rewarding and I hope your Shire has the best success
55Ever since Kimchi was a puppy, we took him here! He loves it here! So much space and so much fun! He will come back as much as he can! Thank you!
55We felt so welcome here at the Shire. Our names were written on a sign and the property feels very secure and is easy to find. The Shire is a great sunny spot! We appreciated the toys, water, different cozy seating areas, both sunny and covered, and all the amenities. Such a gorgeous country cottage feel to it with only a short drive from home. We had plenty of room to run, play frisbee without worrying it would go over the fence, and Reggie chased a squirrel up a tree.
55We have been here a few times over the last year or two and it’s always a great time. Really clean, open, and has lots of different areas for your dog to sniff and explore.
55Great little spot! Enough room to get the zoomies out and throw a ball. We’ve been here a couple times and will check it out again.
55Beautiful spot!
55Always a wonderful time here. Lots of room for my dog to run and play, plenty of toys, cozy places to sit. Feels like being farther out of the city than it is, in a nice way. My dog loves it here so much, she starts getting excited half a mile before we arrive!

Hazards

A tree fell in the yard so there is some excess shrubbery in parts of the lawn near the felled tree -Side deck can be very slippery during rain - dogs ok, but humans may wanna avoid it when it's wet out -Front porch has rocking chairs, ammenities, and extras for guests to use, but there is also a barrier gate on one side to close off access to another side yard that has lawn equipment & other hazards -We have an active mole, so there will be dirt mounds (we collect for soil) that may look like there's a horse on property... We promise, there isn't lol Thank you!

Welcome to my whimsical and woodsy play place in the city. The Shire is a large, happy go lucky yard that reflects seasonal changes with its varying colors and foliage.🌼🪻 Always spacious enough for fetching and endless zumiez, it also offers hide-aways, bushes and trees for the adventurous, sniffy pups to explore. Dogs in-training will enjoy the safety of full fencing as they learn how to both play independently and respond to our typical surroundings of occasional winged🦜, wheeled🛞 and pawfoot🐾 traffic. This 2yr old sniff spot is also a spot in-training with growth and improvements being worked on every season. I welcome feedback to help make every visit a most FUN-furred experience for all our dogs and their fun-loving families!
