55perfect, peaceful. Lots of room to run around in, I didn't take photos but will do so next time.
55Great yard with a high fence, nicely shaded. Bring your own water and poop bags :).
55Great spot! Fence was as advertised which is very important to me, as my dog can jump a lot of fences. My dog YumYum had a GREAT time chasing tennis balls that I was throwing with my ChuckIt. Plenty of room to run. She loved every minute of it! I didn't bring my phone in the yard with me so didn't get any photos of her playing or the yard.🙄
55Alex has a great space, well maintained and clear instructions to enter the yard. There are other dogs that can be heard in the neighborhood but the fence is great for privacy. My dogs loved running around and would be happy to return!
55Alex’s private park is a lovely space for a dog to sniff and run around. The lawn was freshly mowed and free of debris. There are plenty of shaded areas to get out of the sun. Radar got a little hot so we didn’t stay the full hour. Definitely will return sometime. Thank you.
25We were happy with our first visit last month (different dog), and there are MANY positive reviews for this spot, so today must have been an "oops." But it was concerning enough to note. There were quite a few piles of dog poop throughout the yard. Not a huge deal. But less than halfway through our confirmed time, a large dog suddenly came bounding toward us in the fenced yard from the raised back deck/sliding glass door. Someone must have let him out and closed the door. (The surprise meeting with our two dogs went fine, luckily! But one of our dogs is nervous about new things, so it wasn't fine with her.) He was a nice enough dog, (though we didn't know that when he was initially running toward us!) but was persistent at trying to get at the treat pouch around my waist, and wanted to drink the water we brought for our dogs (there wasn't any otherwise), and run after the balls we were throwing for our dogs. He was a little pesty and we left early, but mostly it was just disappointing as this was our first off-leash experience with our new family members.
55Nice, quiet, neighborhood yard. Secure fencing and no issues. Thanks!
55First time sniff spot user and I used this location for a VERY fearful anxious doggie. It took 30 minutes to coax my dog out of my car so being able to park in the driveway and wait outside the car was so helpful! Easy street parking, ample driveway parking space as well. Back yard was wide open and nicely kept! Clean and well mowed. Trees for shade and sunny areas too. My anxious dog looked hard for an escape route once we were inside but was unable to find one - fence is secure and solid! Neighborhood is quiet and friendly with normal happy neighborhood things like walkers, bikers and garbage trucks!
55Nice large back yard - fenced very securely. Plenty of romping room and great large shade trees.
55This was a great spot! Very easy to access and beautiful yard.
