Shayla's Paradise Fully Fenced In Middletown

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Welcome to Shayla’s Paradise — a peaceful, fully fenced backyard created out of love for a very special golden retriever named Shayla. She inspired the purchase of this home because of the spacious yard she adored so much. Though Shayla has passed, her spirit lives on here through happy paws, wagging tails, and endless playtime. Today, the yard is still enjoyed daily by her siblings, Zayn and Lola Bunny, who love running, exploring, and relaxing in the space. Your pup will have access to a large fully fenced yard perfect for sniffing, zoomies, fetch, or simply relaxing in the sun. The space also includes fresh water access, a kiddie swimming pool for the pups, a cozy hammock for owners to unwind, and a beautiful two-tier patio/deck area to sit back and enjoy while your dog plays safely. Chuck it balls and thrower provided! Thoroughly washed after each use for the next doggies to enjoy! Whether your dog needs a quiet private space, exercise, enrichment, or just a peaceful outdoor adventure, Shayla’s Paradise was made with dogs in mind and welcomes every wagging tail like family. Poopie bag dispenser attached to post under deck. See pics! My 2 dogs will be kept inside during your visit. You may hear them bark at first arrival.

12,000 square foot fully equipped agility field

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

First time guests use code FIRSTTIMER10 for a $10 discount! Returning renters can use code TRAINYERDOG for a discount too 😉 To access the agility field: Please follow the driveway straight back past the detached garage on the right hand side. You can park on the road or in the grass along the fence line to the field. Please do NOT walk your dog in the unfenced area! Ensure your dog is securely leashed before exiting your car, and walk them directly into the field. Ensure the gate is secured behind you before letting your dog off leash! Please ensure they are safely secured again before exiting the field and returning to your car! *This spot is first and foremost an agility field! There is equipment setup as seen in the photos pretty much all the time. You do not need to be an agility whiz to rent- if you are looking for a quiet, safely enclosed space to let your dog have some off leash time, you are more than welcome here! But do note that it is not a wide open space meant for free running. If your dog has never done agility, do not force them onto any obstacle. Reward them for investigating things, but best not let them have a bad time or get hurt bailing off of a higher obstacle if they are at all unsure. Please do NOT change the height of any jumps unless you know how to do so CORRECTLY! Do not attempt to move or change the height of any tunnels, the teeter, weave poles, or larger obstacles. And please no humans (children included) on or inside of ANY of the obstacles! They are not meant to bear the weight of a human, and they are expensive to replace if damaged. AKC Regulation a-frame, teeter, dogwalk, and jumps from Max200. MAD Agility channel weaves. Tunnels from Clean Run. Keep your dogs leashed for safety when entering/exiting the agility field as the rest of the property is not fenced. It is low tech back there. There is no electricity or running water. Gates are secured with bungees for now until permanent posts & latches are installed. Please bring water, bug spray, sunscreen, proper footwear, etc. The pine trees provide lovely shade, but they do also provide pinecones and twigs. Give the space a once over to ensure you & your dog can run safely! Clean up after your dogs please! Stay safe, have fun, and happy sniffing 🐽

Frequently asked questions about Columbia dog parks

Are there dog parks in Columbia for reactive dogs?

Yes! Columbia has 746 private dog parks specifically designed for reactive, anxious, or dog-selective pets. Unlike public dog parks where unexpected encounters can trigger your reactive dog, Sniffspot offers completely private bookings. That means only you and your dogs will be there. We enforce 30-minute buffers between visits so you won't run into other park users when arriving or leaving. This makes Columbia Sniffspots perfect for reactive dogs who need safe off-leash exercise.

How many private dog parks are in Columbia?

Columbia has 746 private Sniffspot locations ranging from cozy backyard spaces to expansive properties spanning 120+ acres. You'll find fully fenced dog parks, small dog parks, and dog fields options, each offering complete privacy during your reserved time. Browse listings to compare sizes, amenities, fencing, and reviews from other Columbia dog owners.

Are Columbia dog parks friendly for all dog types?

Absolutely! Columbia Sniffspot locations work for every type of dog: puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel safer away from large breeds, high-energy dogs requiring space to run, and yes, reactive or anxious dogs needing privacy. Because bookings are completely private, you can customize the experience to your dog's specific needs—whether that's careful puppy introductions or stress-free exercise for nervous dogs.

Will there be other dogs at Columbia dog parks?

No, that's what makes Sniffspot different from public dog parks! We only allow one booking at a time, and host dogs must be kept away during your visit. When you book a Columbia dog park, you have the entire space to yourself (plus any dog-owning friends you invite). This privacy is crucial for reactive dogs, puppies in training, or any dog who needs space from other animals.

What makes Columbia dog parks safe for anxious dogs?

Columbia Sniffspot locations provide controlled, predictable environments without the chaos of public dog parks. There are no aggressive dogs, no inattentive owners, and no unexpected encounters that could traumatize anxious or fearful dogs. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars, with many highlighting how safe their reactive or anxious dogs felt.

Can puppies use Columbia dog parks?

Absolutely! Columbia dog parks are ideal for puppy socialization because they provide controlled, distraction-free environments. Puppies can practice recall, build confidence, and explore without the overwhelming chaos of public dog parks. Just ensure your puppy has age-appropriate vaccinations before visiting any Columbia Sniffspot.

Are Columbia dog parks good for small dogs?

Yes! Many Columbia Sniffspot hosts mark their spaces as "small dog friendly," meaning they're appropriately sized for toy breeds and small dogs. Unlike public dog parks where small dogs risk being overwhelmed or injured by larger breeds, Columbia private bookings give your small dog the entire space to themselves. Look for secure fencing with minimal gaps and hosts who understand petite pup needs.

What are the requirements for Columbia dog parks?

All dogs must have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. Each Columbia host may have additional requirements listed on their booking page. Most welcome all breeds, sizes, and temperament levels, including reactive dogs who can't safely visit traditional public dog parks.
