Hi! I own a dog care facility in downtown Columbus! My wife and I used to have trouble finding safe places to exercise our dogs off-leash. Ultimately it turned to me getting into the dog care industry! We have multiple outdoor yards that are ready for use to you and your dog(s)! The areas are fenced, turfed, and have all the amenities you need to exercise your dog safely!
