Yoko's 12 Acres Quiet Meadow & 1 Acre Hidden Pond behind the Red Barn

Partially Fenced
12 acres

This is not just a place for dogs to run. It’s a quiet piece of land by the pond — a space where dogs can explore freely, and humans can slow down for a moment. In early spring, the pond may still be lightly frozen. The air feels crisp, and everything is just beginning to wake up. By summer, it becomes a place full of movement — water, grass, and happy, muddy paws. We’ve kept the space simple on purpose: • A natural pond for curious swimmers • Open field for running freely • Trees that offer shade, calm, and a place to pause No crowds. No noise. Just your time. Whether your dog loves to chase, sniff, swim, or simply wander — this space lets them be exactly who they are. And maybe, you’ll feel it too.

🌟 Findy Yard 🌟

Fully Fenced

Hi! We have two Australian Shepherds. An 8 year old blue merle (Elvira) and a 2 year old red merle (Roary). We are a huge dog loving family, and we'd love to welcome other floofs to our yard. ALL BREEDS WELCOME. 💕 We lived in an apartment for many years with our floofs, so we know how it is not to have your own yard for your fur kids. My family would love to allow other dogs to use our space to run and play freely. The yard has privacy fencing all around, and chances are there will already be plenty of tennis balls and other toys around. Feel free to use the pool. If you have any questions or other requests, please let us know. 🙂

Mel's 15 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Laingsburg

Unfenced
15 acres

Lovely 150 year old decommissioned farm that has been rewilding for 40 years. It has been held as a private wildlife refuge and has been farm and garden chemical free for many years. Trails wind through meadows, woods, and across frozen marsh in the wintertime. Encounter deer, turkey, crane, friendly crows, songbirds, raptors, a wide variety of wildflowers and trees. Also the occasional bunny, fox, coyote, raccoon squirrels and chipmunks pass through. In sheltering spots like my wood chip pile, I have seen snakes and salamanders. In season there are berries and fruit from wild apple and pear trees scattered along the trails. Note that this is a natural area resulting from the rewilding process and not a groomed and open park-like setting. But the trails are wide and mowed regularly for ease of walking. In the woods be prepared to navigate the occasional sticks and branches that may be on the path as typical of a natural woodlot. Wear sturdy walking shoes. This is an exciting place for dogs to sniff around! Looking forward to your visit!

Hey everyone! My name is Lindy and I was a dog mom of 2 beautiful Angels that are now together forever, they passed 2 years apart and with this most recent loss of my Great Dane I like a good reason to keep up with our yard for a dog still. They had lots of fun and exercises and sunbathing back here and they would hate for it to go to waste! I live in a quiet safe neighborhood that misses the barking in my back yard, high privacy fence to deter jumping and great for throwing balls! Separate Private entrance through the garage of house. A small pool for dogs filled upon request, Sun Deck with chairs and table for lunch, Sun Bathing, etc. Fire pit ok to use! Working on getting it well lit for night visits which are also encouraged because my neighbors are great and don't mind:) Check out our Spot! Thanks:) Also featuring some fun equipment for the ole' Bone Yard! 🦴🐕‍🦺🐾🤸‍♀️ ~(((Agility equipment can help dogs in many ways, including: CONFIDENCE! -Dogs are rewarded at each step they complete, which can help build their confidence. This confidence can carry over into other areas. 💎✨💃🕺 FITNESS! -Agility training is a great way to exercise dogs, which can help them burn off excess energy, prevent obesity, and increase their endurance. 💪🏋️‍♀️ MENTAL STIMULATION! -Agility training teaches dogs to navigate obstacles, which provides mental stimulation. 🧠📚 SOCIALIZATION! -Agility training provides opportunities for dogs to socialize with other dogs and people. 💑🤸‍♀️ COMMUNICATION! -Agility training requires verbal and physical communication between the dog and their owner, which can help improve their communication. 🗣️📣 DISCIPLINE! -Agility training tests a dog's obedience, speed, and dexterity, and promotes discipline. 🖐️🚫🚦)))~ Also included in the benefits by your honored Host: Brain Power and Keen Rescue Abilities!!

Frequently asked questions about Ithaca small dog parks

Where can I find small dog parks in Ithaca?

Ithaca has 116 private small dog parks available through Sniffspot, offering appropriately-sized exercise in completely private settings. These locations range from compact spaces to properties spanning 250+ acres. Whether you need a space for your reactive dog, puppy socialization, senior dog gentle exercise, or high-energy play, Ithaca 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 Ithaca?

Ithaca offers 116 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 Ithaca small dog park listing shows detailed photos, amenities, fencing specs, and reviews from local dog owners.

Are Ithaca small dog parks good for all dog types?

Yes! Ithaca 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 Ithaca's 116 options to find spaces matching your dog's specific temperament and needs.

Will I encounter other dogs at Ithaca small dog parks?

Not a chance. Ithaca 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 Ithaca owners with reactive dogs, puppies, or any dog needing privacy, this makes all the difference in providing safe, stress-free exercise.

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

Yes! Ithaca 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 Ithaca dog owners specifically choose small dog parks for fearful dogs who need gentle, stress-free exercise environments.

Can puppies use Ithaca small dog parks?

Absolutely! Ithaca 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 Ithaca?

Start by filtering Ithaca's 116 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 Ithaca's Kimberly's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Lansing with excellent reviews.Read feedback from other Ithaca owners with similar dog types to find your perfect match.

What are Ithaca's small dog park requirements?

All dogs must have basic vaccinations or titers. Each Ithaca 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.
