Hazards

HOST NOTE

Sturdy wire fencing encompasses the Golden Dog Playground. If your dog is very small they could possibly fit through the spaces between the gates and fences and the fence and side of our house. In addition to the entrance gate, there is an emergency exit gate as well as 3 gates, which are locked, along the back fence in the woods. There is a wood pile under the solar array where little critters like to live and hang out. Please be aware in case your dog has a high prey drive that they may be particularly interested in this area. There are so many fun things for your dogs to engage with at the Playground, including a digging station, enrichment toys, a stretching board, confidence building equipment, natural fitness stations, and more (seasonally)! **We do advise that your dog wears a harness and that you guide them on the confidence building equipment to avoid injury.** Annually, the forest area gets blown free of debris, but rocks, roots, sticks, will be visible from storms/wind. We work diligently to keep these areas clean and safe. The back lawn can be a bit uneven due to settling of loam/rocks. There are also compost bins on the property. They are enclosed but something to be aware of. There are Hosta plants and other ornamentals within the fenced-in areas (seasonal). There is a landscaped area near our porch with rocks, a fire pit, chairs and ornamentals. This area is fenced off. Please do not let your dog enter this fenced off area.

Bear Brook Canine Camp

Fully Fenced
2 acres

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. We ask that you please adhere to our 24 hour notice when changing or canceling a reservation. We are always fully booked on weekends. A 24 hour notice allows enough time for someone else to fill a new open reservation. Feel free to reach out via text 603-682-7216 with any questions or concerns. Enjoy! Melodie

The Pooch Playground

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

***** PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION ***** There is important information here. Situated on a scenic working farm (think tractors and people working- though not close to the spot), the Pooch Playground spans about 1/4 acre and is fully enclosed. Tucked next to a small woodland area, this location offers enough distance from the house and barn for a feeling of privacy. The field adjacent to the area is preserved for wildlife. Mornings and evenings are when we do most of our chores and you are likely to see us. The garden, barn and house are far enough from the spot that its not usually an issue. *****There is not a lot of shade in the spot. You are welcome to move the chair to the shade as needed.***** The frisbees are free to take home! We mow the spot every week, except during drought conditions. We purposely maintain longer grass (2-3 inches instead of cutting it too short) to withstand high traffic and dog urine. We leave 'islands' of grass long for sniffing and exploration. Look at the pictures of the spot. If a toy ends up in the field and you don't want to walk through the tall grass, let us know, and we will retrieve it. The pool is cloudy due to the algae inhibitor and concentrated barley killing off any algae that tries to form. The water is safe.

Sarah's Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Manchester

Fully Fenced

Welcome to our Sniffspotβ€”where dogs can truly be dogs! We chose this home for its large, private yard and created a safe, fun space for pups to run, play, and sniff to their heart’s content. The front of the yard features a 6-foot privacy fence, while the rest is enclosed with a combination of 6-foot wood, chain link, and heavy-duty wire fencing. It’s fully secure and suitable for both large and small dogs. Your pup will love exploring the variety of scents left behind by local wildlifeβ€”birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and the occasional raccoon or fox make for an exciting visit! We hope your dog enjoys it as much as ours does!

We have about .75 acres fenced with a ramp, oversized dig box, hideout, tether tug, (available upon request)kiddie pool and or splash pad. We also have about an acre of wooded trails that were created for Ruby and her brother’s daily sniff and strolls.

This spot is in memory of Ruby and her way of helping other dogs like her. Rocky (Ruby’s brother) and Ruby were the inspiration behind what we’d like to offer your dog. Thanks for checking us out 🐾🐾
