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 are a membership only location. We rotate through agility equipment, splash pad, hay bales, snow trails and other fun obstacles seasonally. 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. 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 very muddy dog)

Cleanliness

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

Hazards

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

As soon as we take the exit on the highway, Buddy knows exactly where we are going- we can’t get there soon enough!! We love it just as much as him!

Beautiful wooded setting that’s very well maintained and has all sorts of fun doggie things to do! My dog got her fill of exploring/sniffing, zoomies, ball chasing, and even got her to go thru the “scary tunnel”! She had a blast!

Another amazing fun visit to Rancho Barto. My dogs love the various play options, including boulders for scrambling and the pond and pool(s). Yay!

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!
