Location

Description

Welcome to Rancho Barto, a spot for dogs to be dogs! We have approximately 1 acre of fenced property for you and your dogs to enjoy with ample shade, places to sit and hang out and so much for dogs to explore. We rotate through agility equipment, pools, hay bales, snow trails and other fun obstacles seasonally. While I adore all dogs, my heart is in helping reactive dogs meet their enrichment and fitness needs. I hope this can become a place of respite for you and your dog. We live on a rural road that is a hot spot for wildlife. We do not have any visible neighbors, nor does our fence share a border with anyone else's property. Our road is quite popular with bicycles and the occasional runner...so just a heads up for our hunters and chasers. While your rental is 100% for your dog(s), our property can be divided into two spots, one large, open space with mature trees and a dig/sand pit. The other is a more "technical" area with boulder, bridges, natural obstacles and a pond (not actually meant for swimming, but we don't mind dogs taking a dip so long as you don't mind a muddy dog!)

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Our property has a pond, pools will be available in summer months. This property is located just off the road, dogs should be leashed when entering and exiting.

    Hands down one of our favorite spots near Madison. Always something to explore, great selection of toys, and a variety of terrain for the pup to check out

    This is our favorite Sniffspot in our area! So peaceful and my dogs love it! Lots of room for our young pup to run and lots unique spaces for our old lady pup to explore.

  • Emily P., Feb 10, 2023

    Lots of sniffs and exploring!

  • B.J. R., Feb 4, 2023

    This is Moxxi's favorite spot. He always finds much to explore and sniff out. The first half he explores and then we usually play some training games and run. We both have a great time!

    Fresh snow was so fun!

  • Stacy R., Jan 21, 2023

    Thank you!

  • Rachel M., Jan 21, 2023

    Loved the place and can’t wait for summer!

  • Valerie K., Jan 20, 2023

    Brilliant time again, despite snow and cold. Ellie kept looking for the muddy pool, which is thankfully frozen over. Instead she raced over rocks, followed trails, and bounced around on the hay bales.

  • Jim I., Jan 19, 2023

    Grandpup had awesome time as usual! Such a great place! Never going back to public dog park again

  • Emily P., Jan 15, 2023

    So much fun climbing through the rocks and playing on the hay!

Meet your host

Greetings! My name is Jess and I own Three Black Dogs, LLC which includes my dog training business, Local Dog Training & Adventure as well as our dog-inspired recreation biz, Three Black Dogs Adventure Co. My master's degree is in Recreation and I am a proud graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy for Dog Trainers. I have created this amazing path where I get to do all the things that I love in the great outdoors with my dogs AND share it with you. What is better than living your happiest life with a super cool dog (or 5)? Of course, we love all people all dogs, but we have an extra special spot in our hearts for dog guardians looking for a safe place for their dog with big feelings to explore, sniff and be worry-free. I get what it's like to have an over-reactive dog and hope that our Sniffspots can provide you with a safe place to fulfill your pup's exercise and enrichment needs. Welcome, friends!
