Description

Large and rustic back yard is a sniff-haven for nosey pups. With about 1/3 of a acre fenced in, large biodiversity lends to tons of exploration beyond running around. 15 minutes of sniffing is equivalent to about one hour of physical exercise! I worked at a large dog daycare and boarding facility for nearly 5 years, and this yard is a *dream* for my dogs. We have a 7 foot stock tank pool which serves as a jumping platform in the off-season, and a perfect swimming spot in the summer! And we won't judge if the humans want to take a dip, just be mindful of small children, as there is obviously no lifeguard on duty. This yard is perfect for doggy get togethers, and even hosted a large dog birthday party one summer! We have a grill and hammocks available for use at your request, and a fire ring center yard for toasting your smores or hot dogs. I usually have scrap wood to burn, but BYO firewood if you want to be 100% sure! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, or other requests!

Hazards

COUNTRY YARD! This yard was originally a giant garden and brush area, and we are slowly but surely working towards a more "typical" yard. The soil can be soft and uneven in areas, and there are more "brushy" areas as well. There are wild raspberry bushes along the brush line that produce a small amount of fruit in the summer! We do get a fair share of wildlife, mostly rabbits, that come through the yard on occasion. Very similar to a clearing on a nature trail!

Canada Corners Private Dog Park

Welcome to Canada Corners! Home to all things dog sports! We have a big ultra dog friendly yard, pool, and indoor K9 gym that is well stocked with training supplies and dog sports equipment. We back up to a hay field, apple orchard, and a wetlands and pond that is full of lovely wildlife and birds. We also have a herd of goats that stay in their separate pasture. The goat area is off limits to dogs except on approval, however people are welcome to say hi to the goats and may feed them pre-approved snacks. The yard is not a perfectly manicured lawn; it is left somewhat natural so you can expect leaves, longer grass (nothing too crazy), weeds, and some uneven footing. Digging is welcome in this yard so watch out for doggy dig sites! The pool has just been cleaned from winter. There is a filter as well as a small chlorine tab. Shock and other pool chemicals used as needed but as minimally as possible to stay super pet friendly. The pool yard can be closed off from the main yard if needed. The pool is about 2’ deep with an inflatable ramp for smaller dogs to exit safely. The pool sets right next to the deck allowing dogs to jump into the pool easily. There are pool noodles to fill the gap between the deck and pool edge for safety. The deck is composite and does heat up in the sun but umbrellas and pop ups are available to keep it shady. And a mister for especially hot days! There are agility obstacles and training equipment on site - we have jumps, weaves, small tunnel, old school flyball box and hurdles, platforms, klimb table, carpet mill, fitpaws equipment, and a SwiftPaws kit. We also have equipment for nosework, shed hunt, obedience, and a full rally set of signs with cones. There are loads of dog toys and treats available including a Treat n Train machine. There is a large tire ball pit - this is located in the pool yard so that it can be closed off if needed. Everything in the yard and three season porch is available for use during your visit. There is a small library of training resources and some games for people including a badminton set. Drinks, refreshments, and snacks are available in the mini fridge and snack basket! Please see the welcome binder for a full inventory on where everything is located along with general housekeeping tips and training resources. Assistance with dog sport training is available (requires some coordination around schedules) and questions about the equipment are always welcome! Our welcome table has our full menu of services from dog grooming to training to pet portraits! This private dog park is also home to Canada Corners Pet Grooming. There is a dog wash inside. This is by appointment only, please contact me for details!
