Description

Welcome to my private, fully fenced backyard in Midtown Fort Collins! This yard is part of Dana’s Dog Lodge, my private dog boarding business. It’s a great place for dogs to run, sniff, explore, and relax. Professional sod installation completed fall 2026. The grass will be ready for dog feet around Thanksgiving! The yard is fully enclosed with a 6-foot privacy fence and secure cedar gate, creating a safe and private space for off-leash play. Mature trees provide shade throughout much of the yard, making it a great place to visit during warmer months. Perfect for reactive dogs, training sessions, fetch, sniffing adventures, or simply enjoying a private outdoor space without other dogs present. Amenities available upon request: • Kiddie pool and sprinklers for water-loving pups (in Spring & Summer) • Hammock • Grill Located in a quiet Midtown Fort Collins neighborhood just a few blocks from College Avenue. Water is available for dogs and humans.

Hi! I’m Dana, owner of Dana’s Dog Lodge, a home-based dog boarding business here in Fort Collins! I have over five years of experience working in veterinary hospitals and understand how important it is for dogs to have a safe, comfortable environment. I’m excited to share my fully fenced backyard with the local dog community! Whether your pup loves to run, sniff, explore, or simply relax in the sunshine, this is a private space for them to enjoy at their own pace. Reactive dogs are absolutely welcome! I know how difficult it can be to find a peaceful place for dogs who need extra space or aren’t comfortable around unfamiliar dogs. My backyard is currently transitioning from mostly dirt to beautiful new sod! I’m getting everything ready for a fresh, grassy space that should be ready for happy dog paws in early to mid-November!

Fritz&Friends Farm 3 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Fort Collins

Fully Fenced
3 acres

Hi!! And welcome to Fritz & Friends Farm! 💕We are so excited to share this spot with you and your dogs so they can run free and play! This spot offers a variety of excitement… Mowed trails, fun obstacles and play toys, a water tub and hose, shady trees with picnic tables, nice views of the foothills, birds singing and seeing my mini Herfords grazing in other sections of my property. Based on the season, it looks a little different. In the spring before the pasture is hayed, I mow trails through it. (Keep in mind when it rains or sometimes in the fall, it can get a little wet in the northwest section… but the other areas always stay dry.) When the summer comes, the pasture is hayed thereby offering a vast playground. When the winter comes in, it’s a fun place to play when it snows. My goal is to keep it lush with grass so I may offer limited open slots from time to time… So if you don’t see a time that works for your schedule, just message me! I really hope you enjoy the freedom of Fritz & Friends Farm! We love it here and hope you do too! A little slice of heaven, peace and tranquility so close to the center of Fort Collins! Enjoy! ❤️🐶🐶🐶❤️ And an added plus for my spot …. All proceeds, other than some maintenance expenses, go to three animal rescue organizations! So together, we are making a difference.💕

Peru'vn Around Ranch Private Dog Park In Bellvue

Fully Fenced
18 acres

18 acre ranch with beautiful landscape, views of horses and occasionally wildlife depending on time of day and 10 acres fully fenced for sniffspot reservations. You are welcome to pet the horses but do not feed. Please do not allow your dogs to growl or charge the horses (even though they are behind fences). All the horses are calm and easy around dogs, which we need it to stay that way. **Summer note-dog pool water will be changed once a day for 2026 due to water restrictions and costs. This is so we do not need to increase the sniffspot fee** We have a fully fenced area roughly 10 acres with mowed paths for walking. You are welcome to walk thru the field if desired. Occasionally, the horses have access to the field during non sniffspot hours so there will be delicious horse poop, some dogs will eat it and others not. Most dogs process horse poop very well and many vets will tell you it’s good for their gut. There are random balls and toys in the field for use, water is available and if we are home during your visit should the restroom be needed we will honor use of that. Most days there is a bin with free dog food and/or treat samples. You are welcome to bring agility or equipment and toys each visit if desired or practice nosework. We are also open to hosting groups, such as agility, nosework or trainers who need a large outdoor space that is fully fenced. Off street parking and can accommodate large vehicles. Small dogs are welcome, do note the fencing is graduated so depending on size of dog, some real tiny ones who are escape artists may not be the best fit. Thank you for considering spending time and enjoying our property as much as we do.
