Paws and Smile Dog Park In Shawnee
We moved back to the KC area earlier this year and are in the process of turning our new home into a doggy wonderland. Our team of three runs a full time pet care company including doggy daycare, boarding, and drop in visits for all sorts of animal species. As pet care lovers and trainers, we understand the importance of having a private, secure space to work or be with your dog for whatever reason.
Our nearly 3 acre backyard is fully fenced, at least our 5 lb chihuahua, daycare dogs, and dozens of sniffspotters have yet to find a way out. While we try our best to maintain our yard, sometimes the grass gets high or there are fallen branches. If grass length is a deal breaker, just ask! We'll let you know if it's gotten high or is freshly mowed. There are two large burn piles we inherited when we moved in. There is also a detached garage with an old chicken coop with a hole in the door in the middle of the yard. We're aware the hole is there, we don't have immediate plans to fix it, and we don't mind if your dog wanders into it. The yard backs up to the highway. It can get a little loud, but it's pretty much white noise to us and our dogs. Aside from the highway, it's generally a quiet spot.
There's a large circle drive at the entrance of our property. You can either roll open the large gate and park behind the fence or you can park by the fence and swing open the smaller gate to walk in. Under the carport is a shelf with poo bags, our business cards, grooming wipes, a grooming towel, dog water bowls, and usually some extra tennis balls. Let me me know if anything is missing! There's a trash can by the carport, as well as a waste station halfway down the yard (trash can and additional poo bags). The hose is also by the carport and can be used to fill water bowls or play with. We don't have lighting in the backyard, but can turn on the lights under the carport, should you ever desire. Feel free to move around chairs or table, use the swing, or lay in the hammock.
When Sniffspotters are visiting, we keep our dogs inside and we do our best to remain out of view. However, we do have dogs dropped off and picked up throughout the day. Our handoffs occur at our front door and we try our best to not be seen by you or your dogs, but you could see us if you're in the front part of the yard.
