55This was the most beautiful SniffSpot we’ve been to. Trail past the pond felt like a state park. Creek was nice too, my dog loved running up and down the steep hill to the water.
55We had such a great day! It was beautiful place and the owner was very quick to respond to a question I had about locating the Creek and very friendly and helpful. We spent most of the day going back-and-forth between the creek and the pond. The first entrance area was a great place for us to clean up in the shade after a hot, wet, and muddy day. We will definitely be back! Thank you for being such a wonderful host!
55Such an awesome spot for our pup! The trails were clearly marked. Will definitely be back again!
55Dogs had a blast. Awesome spot.
45Beautiful spot! Just be careful going early now that there’s dew in the mornings cause your feet will get soaked! We ended up leaving an hour early due to the wet. Highly suggest this as a mid day event ☺️☺️
55This place was beautiful! We loved having so much private space to explore, with gorgeous nature trails. It was such a peaceful and relaxing spot and our dogs had an absolute blast being able to explore.
55My pups and I have visited twice so far. Its a great area for a my senior dog and I to take a leisurely stroll while also allowing my younger reactive dog a place to run and get out pent up energy. We will be back!
55It was wonderful! My dog does not enjoy water but even the trails were so fun for him. There were multiple trash bins and chairs around too!
55Beautiful location with lots of wildlife! We saw deer and turtles on the paths today. Quiet and private but does not feel isolated. I had cell service the whole time. Lots of places to wander around. It was a great space for us to do some handler focus training and recall work!
55Trails beautifully maintained along gorgeous property. Nice creek access. Doggos had a great time. Will book again. Communication with Jennifer A+

Description

Bring your fur babies to this beautiful private wildlife preserve in Gerrardstown. Our private property features nature trails that lead to a 7 acre pond and private access to Back Creek. Your pups can take a swim in the pond or splash around in the beautiful crystal clear creek on the backside of the property. There are otters in the pond so be watchful that your fur babies don’t have a negative interaction with the wildlife. We only host one booking at a time so the full 20.56 acres will be yours for the time you reserve. Additionally this property has three main areas. At the base of the driveway, you will find a forested area with clearing to sit in the shade and let your pups play with the available dog toys or explore. Make your way to the back of that first main area to begin your first nature trail which leads you straight to the beautiful 7 acre pond where more seating is available. From the pond there’s another winding trail that takes you through the backside of the forest and then opens up on Back Creek. Parking: You can park at the top of the driveway, on the side of the road, or you can bring your vehicle down the driveway. For small cars it is recommended To park at the top of the driveway due to unlevel terrain. Before you leave the property: please clean up all of your dog waste and dispose of in the waste bins along with any trash. And please place the dog toys back in the bin. We look forward to hosting you and your family!! The address provided takes you to an older driveway. Directions to the current driveway will be provided upon your reservation.

Country Roads Canine Training Center 4 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Charles Town

Partially Fenced
4 acres

Welcome to Country Roads Canine Training Center Freedom trial! We are a small training facility with a focus on high quality work. Our trail is partially fenced- the agility area and top trail is fully fenced with the option to visit the stream and rock trail that is undergoing fencing to become fully fenced. The top trail is next to our back yard which means you might see other dogs in the yard- however there is a divider and I am just a message away and can put the training dogs inside with some notice! We may be conducting training in our other front fenced area or inside, please message if you require a totally dog free area and I can make accommodations. Our fence is made up of 4ft Cattle fencing which has smaller gap wire on the bottom and bigger on the top, some areas are fenced with varying sized pallets. The stream trail is fenced on the back area facing our neighbors. You may play in the stream but do not cross it. We are excited to share this space as a trail built JUST for dogs! The trail is jam packed with jumps and natural obstacles that your dog will LOVE! ***VERY IMPORTANT*** Some GPS may take you to Hillbrook INN- do not turn down their drive. Look for South Jefferson Elementary School and Brannon lane is directly across from there. We are the 3rd driveway down that road!

"Freedom Dog Run" 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Yard In Middletown

Fully Fenced

This spot is my fully fenced-in back yard made especially for my dogs. Shady spots and sun. Lowest fence is 4 feet tall next to the neighbors and tallest is 6 feet tall next to woods. The neighbor side also has a screen fence over existing fence to keep tiny fingers and dog noses from coming through. They have small kids and a small dog. Your dogs will have plenty of space to run and explore. I have plenty of toys, balls, Frisbees and a baby pool (in the summer) for the pups. Also, drinking water for you and your dogs. 🐕 😁
