55Shady, clean, and safe! We were a group of 6 with three goldens and this was just the right size. That is, we could easily keep an eye on the dogs while playing. There was plenty of fresh water available and places to sit.Anna G.

55My dogs had a lot of fun chasing each other and playing with the abundance of sticks. I love finding sniff spots like this one. They feel more natural with trees and wood stumps to jump over making it more enriching for the dogs. Mariam B.

55Erika’s yard was perfect! It was easy to find, completely fenced in, so I felt very safe letting my dogs roam, and it was super engaging for them! They loved running all over sniffing and exploring- the hosts were very nice and very quick to communicate about any questions I had! We would love to come visit again!Andrea C.
