Golden Hills

Talk about a wonderful sniff spot. Check out Golden Hills just right outside hocking hills. This remote spot is 17 acres of woods, creeks and a pond just for your dogs. Why Golden Hills? We got a property a while ago and had 2 golden retrievers. It was their favorite spot and we spent a lot of time there. Unfortunately we lost both of them last October but their legacy will live on at our property. The worst part about the property is that they may never want to leave :). We welcome you to golden hills. Feel free to even bring some fishing poles. 🐾🦌☀️🌲

Jean's 2 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Richwood

Although I have 2 acres, 1 acre is used for crops (seasonal). When there are no crops your pup is welcome to run in that area also. I have a med-lrg area that is fenced in, if your pup is a runner (I have 1 that is). There is also a small creek at 1 end of the property. There is a converted Grain Bin to Gazebo, where parents and pups are welcome to sit and and rest. I would prefer dogs not drink from the same bowls for health reasons, so please bring your own bowls and water (water can be provided in a emergency situation, ie: pup spilled water bowl, pup drank all you had brought, etc. My own pups will not be permitted outside while you and your pup are here, I want you and your pup to enjoy your time here without that distraction.
