Located at the back end of a development with trees surrounding the back yard, there is plenty of space to run freely - even to sniff around in part of the back tree-line. Guests can walk down the deck leading to the back yard or walk around the garage which slopes down to the back yard - whichever is more convenient!

Country Roads Canine Training Center 4 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Charles Town

Partially Fenced
4 acres

Welcome to Country Roads Canine Training Center Freedom trial! We are a small training facility with a focus on high quality work. Our trail is partially fenced- the agility area and top trail is fully fenced with the option to visit the stream and rock trail that is undergoing fencing to become fully fenced. The top trail is next to our back yard which means you might see other dogs in the yard- however there is a divider and I am just a message away and can put the training dogs inside with some notice! We may be conducting training in our other front fenced area or inside, please message if you require a totally dog free area and I can make accommodations. Our fence is made up of 4ft Cattle fencing which has smaller gap wire on the bottom and bigger on the top, some areas are fenced with varying sized pallets. The stream trail is fenced on the back area facing our neighbors. You may play in the stream but do not cross it. We are excited to share this space as a trail built JUST for dogs! The trail is jam packed with jumps and natural obstacles that your dog will LOVE! ***VERY IMPORTANT*** Some GPS may take you to Hillbrook INN- do not turn down their drive. Look for South Jefferson Elementary School and Brannon lane is directly across from there. We are the 3rd driveway down that road!

Auntie Linda's. Linda's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Winchester

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

I live near town on 1/4 acre and the yards are fully fenced. My front yard (for small dogs) and backyard (larger dogs) are separated by a gate, but can be opened up for more running, if no small dogs are in the front. The gate can be taken down when I have no small dogs. I have been fostering and dog-sitting for over 10 years. I rarely use my back yard and when I heard of SniffSpot, I thought "What a great idea. I'd love for dogs to enjoy this yard."
