Fully Fenced
8 acres

“West Family Farm Private Dog Field – Fully Fenced 8 Acres on a 100-Acre Farm” Bring your dog to a private, fully fenced 8-acre field on our peaceful 100-acre farm near Gordonsville. With plenty of room to run, explore, and play, this is the perfect spot for dogs who need space and freedom without the stress of crowded dog parks. This spot is especially great for: * Reactive dogs * Dogs in recall training * High-energy dogs that need to run * Nervous or shy dogs * Multiple-dog households * Puppies learning off-leash skills The full 8-acre field is completely fenced, giving you room to safely practice recall, long-distance fetch, off-leash training, scent work, or simply let your dog run and be a dog. Easy access: Guests enter through the blue farm gate and can drive directly into the fenced field. No long walk, no carrying supplies, and no need to unload your dog and walk them into the paddock. Just open the gate, drive right in, park inside the field, and let your dog out safely. Why guests love it: * Fully fenced 8-acre field * Private reservation—no other dogs or people in your space * Ideal for recall and off-leash training * Plenty of distance to work on commands and confidence * Great for dogs that do not do well at public dog parks * Quiet country setting with open views and tree-lined edges * Easy drive-in access through the blue farm gate * Park directly inside the field * Some shade along the fence line and tree edges * Excellent for fetch, frisbee, running, sniffing, and training * Located on a peaceful 100-acre farm You may occasionally see or hear normal farm activity in the distance, but the dog field itself is private and separate from the rest of the property. A huge, safe, quiet place for your dog to run free. Features: * Fully fenced 8-acre field * Private reservation – no other dogs during your visit * Huge open area for running and fetch * Easy parking near the entrance * Sunny open space with some shade along the edges * Quiet country setting on an 88-acre farm * Great for reactive, shy, or energetic dogs * Plenty of room for multiple dogs You may occasionally hear or see normal farm activity in the distance, but the dog field itself is private and separate.”

Poindexter Park

Fully Fenced

I’m a dog trainer and I run a dog boarding/daycare from my home (hence all the different fenced spaces). When possible, daycare and boarding dogs will be taken indoors during your visit so that you and your pup can have uninterrupted time to play/work together in a quiet environment. This is not always feasible depending on the day/time of your visit and our schedule on any given day. Check in advance if your dog does not do well if they see/hear other dogs, people, or cars. The main SniffSpot is currently about 7,000 sq ft in our side field, which is perfect for running, playing fetch, working on recall and other obedience commands, and is full of smells to sniff out. You may be directed to a different spot if we NEED to use the side yard during your time slot. Coming soon: - enlarged fenced space (about 10,000 sq ft) - agility equipment - pool
