Jenny's Peaceful Private Dog Park with Privacy Fence

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

Near McIntyre Square/UMPC Passavant/McCandless Crossing. You may park in our driveway or on the street. Enter the backyard via either gate and enjoy! - Water jug under the deck (attn: may be frozen in winter) - Poop bags by the water jug - Trash can under the deck for poop bags - Bin of dog toys for your use - flirt pole, chuck it balls, tug, frisbee - Table and chairs in the yard and also on the deck If your dog likes to dig, they may dig freely in the dirt under the deck. This is a yard full of great sniffs - squirrels, chipmunks, voles, birds, bunnies and ground hogs all trek through regularly. Many dogs love to climb up on the stone walls and sniff everything. Running around on the huge deck is also popular! Note: The large deck has bird feeders containing safflower and sunflower seed. They are mostly out of reach, but safe for dogs just in case. DO NOT ENTER OTHER PEOPLE'S YARDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. **Please use caution in winter as everything will be snowy and slippery. The backyard and deck are not cleared in winter.

Hey everyone, My partner Wendy and I have a fully fenced (6 ft tall), private backyard (~1,700 sq ft) in East Liberty a few blocks from the Target and in the middle of the East End of Pittsburgh.

Amanda's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Economy Borough

Fully Fenced
0.17 acres

Beautiful backyard (2 miles outside of Cranberry Twp off Freedom Rd) with lots of toys, water bowls, hose/running water, dog pool if desired, hanging ball on cord attached to tree. Lots of space to run, and super comfy chairs for owners to relax in! Smoking is permitted (must utilize ashtray provided). Be mindful your dogs don’t eat or ruin the raised garden beds surrounding patio! Newly planted apple trees are in the back of the yard but are protected by small fences. Neighbors have dogs that will visit at the fence! But they are willing to keep them inside if your dog(s) get upset. Entry: you can park anywhere in the back of the driveway near the fence gate. The fence gate has a carabiner on the inside that ensures the gate stays latched. You can easily reach your hand through to remove. Gate is very heavy but will open easily about 2 feet for entry without having to lift the gate to get it wider. Please replace carabiner when leaving.

Frequently asked questions about Hickory small dog parks

Where can I find small dog parks in Hickory?

Hickory has 156 private small dog parks available through Sniffspot, offering appropriately-sized exercise in completely private settings. These locations range from compact spaces to properties spanning 2050+ acres. Whether you need a space for your reactive dog, puppy socialization, senior dog gentle exercise, or high-energy play, Hickory small dog parks provide safe, private environments. Filter for "fewer dogs seen/heard," specific amenities, or fencing types to find your perfect match.

How many small dog parks are in Hickory?

Hickory offers 156 small dog parks ranging from compact spaces to properties spanning acres. You'll find diverse options: fully-fenced for escape artists, indoor climate-controlled for year-round use, swimming pools for hot days, agility courses for training, and more. Each Hickory small dog park listing shows detailed photos, amenities, fencing specs, and reviews from local dog owners.

Are Hickory small dog parks good for all dog types?

Yes! Hickory small dog parks work for every dog: puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel safer without large breeds, high-energy dogs requiring space, and reactive or anxious dogs needing privacy. The completely private bookings mean each dog gets the environment they need. Browse Hickory's 156 options to find spaces matching your dog's specific temperament and needs.

Will I encounter other dogs at Hickory small dog parks?

Not a chance. Hickory small dog parks operate on a strict one-booking-at-a-time system, so the space is entirely yours during your reserved slot. Host dogs are kept away, and there's a mandatory 30-minute buffer between bookings—meaning you won't cross paths with the previous or next guest. For Hickory owners with reactive dogs, puppies, or any dog needing privacy, this makes all the difference in providing safe, stress-free exercise.

Are Hickory small dog parks safe for fearful or anxious dogs?

Yes! Hickory small dog parks provide controlled, predictable environments without the chaos of public dog parks. Since bookings are completely private with 30-minute buffers, anxious dogs can explore a space specifically sized and designed for small breeds under 25-30 pounds without overwhelming encounters. Many Hickory dog owners specifically choose small dog parks for fearful dogs who need gentle, stress-free exercise environments.

Can puppies use Hickory small dog parks?

Absolutely! Hickory small dog parks are excellent for puppy socialization because they're private and controlled. Puppies can explore a space specifically sized and designed for small breeds under 25-30 pounds, practice recall, and build confidence without the overwhelming chaos that can create fear or reactivity in young dogs. Just ensure your puppy has age-appropriate vaccinations before visiting.

How do I choose the best small dog park in Hickory?

Start by filtering Hickory's 156 small dog parks for your specific needs: secure fencing for escape artists, "fewer dogs seen/heard" for reactive dogs, flat terrain for seniors, appropriate sizing for small dogs, or specific amenities for training. Look for "Top Spots" like Hickory's Jenny's Peaceful Private Dog Park with Privacy Fence with excellent reviews.Read feedback from other Hickory owners with similar dog types to find your perfect match.

What are Hickory's small dog park requirements?

All dogs must have basic vaccinations or titers. Each Hickory host may have additional rules on their listing. Most small dog parks welcome all breeds, sizes, and temperament levels, including reactive dogs who can't safely visit public dog parks. Adult supervision is required at all times.
