Important Property Rules • ABSOLUTELY NO smoking, vaping, open flames, campfires, charcoal grills, or fireworks anywhere on the property. These camps are beloved family properties that have been enjoyed for generations. Due to current environmental and shoreline regulations, if a camp were lost to fire, it likely could not be rebuilt in its current location. Thank you for helping us protect this special place. • Please respect our beloved loons and other wildlife. Balch Lake is home to nesting loons, which are treasured by residents and visitors alike. Please do not approach loons, allow your dog to chase them, or otherwise disturb them. Guests should remain at least 100 feet away whenever possible. Protecting these beautiful birds and their habitat is extremely important to our family and lake community. • All camps, decks, porches, sheds, and other buildings are strictly off-limits. Please enjoy the grounds, shoreline, and docks only. • The docks may be used and are a wonderful place to enjoy the lake. Please use caution, as the rocks and lake entry areas near the front dock can be slippery, especially when wet. • During the summer season, metal receptacles are available for bagged dog waste only. Please do not place household trash or other items in these containers. • This is otherwise a carry-in, carry-out property. Please take all trash, food containers, bottles, and personal items with you when you leave. • As this is an unfenced property, dogs should have reliable recall or remain leashed at their owner’s discretion. Thank you for helping us preserve this beautiful family property for future generations, our wildlife, and fellow Sniffspot guests.

Enjoyable farm fields with lots of room for dogs to roam and play. Wildlife does show up at times, anywhere from deer, turkeys, skunks and porcupines. Our main field does abut a golf course, and often get stray balls fly over the fence into our field. To avoid being hit by one, I’d recommend staying more towards the middle to right of the field. During deer season we do require the owner and dog to be wearing orange, and don’t have guests come on Saturdays. We do hay our fields in the summer (May/June-September) time, and once that begins we will set up a schedule with specific areas that can be utilized.

Howling Pines 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park in Pembroke/Concord
Welcome to Howling Pines Sniffspot, a private, peaceful place designed with your dog’s best day in mind. We’re open 7 days a week 6a - 9p with lights to illuminate late night and early morning visits. Located just 5 minutes from Target in Concord, NH, Howling Pines offers approximately 1 fully fenced acre of mixed terrain for running, sniffing, exploring, playing, or simply enjoying some off-leash freedom. The entire Sniffspot is enclosed with 5-foot-tall, 14-gauge welded livestock wire fencing with approximately 2" x 4" openings, providing a secure boundary while maintaining the natural, open feel of the property. Please see photos of fencing included in the listing. Our Sniffspot sits on a private 6.5-acre property, set back more than 350 feet from a quiet, dead-end residential street. The space combines a grassy backyard with cleared, tree-covered woods, giving dogs plenty of room to explore different sights, smells, and terrain. Approximately 2/3 of the Sniffspot is wooded, making it especially fun for dogs who love to sniff, wander, and investigate. Designed for Safe, Easy Arrivals: We know that getting in and out safely can be one of the most stressful parts of visiting a new place, especially with reactive, nervous, excited, or escape-prone dogs. That’s why the entrance to Howling Pines features a double-gated airlock located directly beside your designated parking area, allowing you to move from your vehicle into the Sniffspot quickly and securely. Stay & Play After Dark and Early Morning Hours: Early sunset or late sunrise shouldn't stop you or your pups from having fun. The yard is lit for evening and early morning visits, making it easier for you and your dog to continue enjoying the space after the sun goes down, especially during our shorter New England fall and winter days. All lights are solar powered and motion activated. During Your Visit, You’ll Find: - Covered seating area for humans to relax while the dogs play - Cleared wooded areas for sniffing and exploring - Outdoor lighting for evening and early morning visits - Washable dog toys, including Chuckits, tug toys, balls, and more - Fresh water for dogs and humans - Pet waste stations and poop bags throughout the space - Clean towels available for muddy paws, wet dogs, and humans - Antibacterial wipes and hand sanitizer for easy cleanup - Complimentary human snacks - Designated parking directly beside the airlock entrance Built by Dog People, for Dog People We share our home with two Husky/Malamute mixes, so we are very familiar with high-energy, adventurous, large-breed dogs and the importance of having a safe place where they can truly stretch their legs. We designed Howling Pines to provide more than just physical exercise. The mix of woods, grass, smells, toys, and open space gives dogs opportunities for mental enrichment and natural exploration, too. Whether your dog wants to sprint, sniff every tree, chase a ball, explore the woods, or simply enjoy being outside without the distractions of a traditional dog park, we hope Howling Pines becomes one of their favorite places. Come sniff, explore, and howl at the pines!

Pembroke, NH
Fully fenced in approximately two acres. We now have lighting for nighttime use. Approximately five times around the property perimeter equals a mile. We have chuck-it throws and balls, many toys, sand/digging areas, pools and agility equipment in a large, fenced area for you and your dog to romp around. Main entrance to the yard can be found by entering the second driveway and parking in the designated parking area in front of the solar barn. We do not plow that driveway in the winter as it’s just gravel. So, feel free to park at the bottom of my driveway and walk to the SS gate if you’re not comfortable using the SS driveway in the winter. We ask that you please adhere to our 24 hour notice when changing or canceling a reservation. We are always fully booked on weekends and most weekdays too. A 24 hour notice allows enough time for someone else to fill a newly open reservation. Feel free to reach out via text 603-682-7216 with any questions or concerns. Enjoy! Melodie

: Welcome to Tioga Tail Trails — please come enjoy 75+ acres of wooded trails in Belmont, New Hampshire! This property has continuous access to water — the Tioga River runs right through it — and is off leash friendly. Our trails are marked with blazes and wind through quiet woods and open marshes, with chairs by the river for a rest. There's room here to really run, sniff, splash, and explore. Bookings are private — one guest at a time — so the trails are always yours alone. It's a spot our reactive-dog guests especially love: no strange dogs around the next corner. Good to know: • The property is unfenced, so it's best for dogs with a solid recall or who stay close. Please keep leashes on until you're out on the trails. • There are dogs on the property due to my dog exercise business, but they will be secured during your visit. • The river has moods — it can babble along like a brook, but after heavy rain it runs high and fast, so please use your judgment about letting dogs in on those days. • In the fall, many guests put blaze orange on their dogs (New Hampshire hunting season). We're a Sniffspot Top Spot (4.98 stars), and repeat guests are our favorite compliment. Please feel free to reach out with any questions — I look forward to sharing this gorgeous property with you! — Susan
