In the first field, where the fence is shared with my backyard, you will see dogs and people. I train dogs and host overnight dogs :-)  Please make an effort to keep your dog out of the center area where the water runoff and brambles are located. sometimes they initially very confident about going in there and then they could get stuck! thanks!

Our fenceline is not shared with anyone who has dogs in their backyard, which is amazing! However, you will find folks walking on the street with and without dogs along Walgren. You can enjoy lunch at the picnic table and enjoy a beautiful view from the picnic table on the hill. We ask you don’t bring glassware or glass bottles for safety. we are accepting cans and the collection area is by the entrance. Please clean up toys, food, trash before you leave for the next pack. Let us know if there’s anything that can improve your stay.

When you arrive you’re going to park in the gravel area just outside the gate. You will enter the door right off the gravel area into a large field. As you enter the field you will see a 5 gallon water jug to fill the water bowl or fill your water bottle. This area is also where you will find the poop can, dry towel bin, toy bin, tennis ball bin and treats for purchase to work your recall! If your dog is sensitive to people or other dogs on site or through a sense, you will want to spend your time on the back area trails. The big field shares a fence with my backyard/courtyard area. My area has dogs coming in and out because I train and board pups. Dogs will not be out unattended and I will call them away from the fence area when your entering. However PLEASE If you are concerned about barrier aggression stay on leash until your past the big get over to the trail side. The gravel parking area for sniffspot is also parking for training clients. If somebody else’s unloading, please wait for them to vacate the area to unload. Many dogs I work with have behavioral issues so they also need space. Thank you!

Welcome to Green Acres Homestead! Discover acres of adventure on our fully fenced pasture, complete with a seasonal creek and a peaceful pond—perfect for dogs to run, splash, and explore. Nestled on a charming farm beside Green Acres K9 Resort (A dog boarding and daycare facility), our play space offers a secure and refreshing retreat for your pups, whether they're visiting for playtime or boarding nearby. Important: Please keep an eye out for sniff spot signs and follow them carefully to reach the designated play area. You are encouraged to park all the way at the end of the driveway infront of the fence. Reality alert: Most folks already understand this and really enjoy bringing their dog here to play but for those that may not be as familiar we really want to make sure that you understand the environment that you will experience when you come to our sniff spot. It is very likely that the following could occur: 1)Hear a dog barking from the boarding facility 2)See a farmer working 3)See livestock share a fence line (Yes you can say hello to them) 4)Find mud in the wet season, no creek in the dry season 5)Alge in the pond when the water is not flowing and weeds in the field 6)We work towards keeping the main area of the field free of blackberries and weeds that poke by mowing but do not guarantee a weed free environment 7)The creek and pond are spring fed but there is always a chance of picking something up in nature 8)Your dog is welcome to dig and carry sticks and rocks. Be aware there may be holes, sticks or rocks 9)There is a dock that has no problem supporting my family on the pond but makes no promise to support anyone. You are welcome to use it but understand that is at your own risk and judgment. 10)The pond has gradual sloping sides on over half the pond but there are sections where it is steep. 11)We really don't want to discourage anyone from enjoying this place like we, do but also don't want people to expect something that is maybe not a reality. We look forward to seeing you here sometime soon.
