55What a large and beautiful yard. Hero had a great time. We appreciated the large bowl of freshwater that was put out. Also, when you said you had toys, I assume they were the ratty old toys that your dog had stopped playing with. I was pleasantly surprised to see they were actually nice, clean, new toys. I also noticed you had extra poop bags put out. All of this was very considerate. When I saw the area where the fence was broken, I was extremely concerned that the blacks put in front of the area were only 2 feet tall. I checked out the area on the other side and there didn’t appear to be any dogs or children. It was wide-open with a road not too far beyond. Fortunately, I was able to direct hero away from that spot when she headed that way. If there had been any other distraction over there, she probably would have jumped the fence. The price of the Sniffspot is much lower than many of the others. I appreciated that. I was hopeful that this would be my regular Weakly spot, but the broken fence does concern me. I will keep an eye on this post in hopes that the fence will be fixed so we can become a regular.
55The yard is quite large and pretty. There is a lower part to the fence which is 24" to 30", but Ellie never even noticed it. Beth, our host, is friendly and wonderful. She has a pair of older dogs who posed absolutely no threat whatsoever. Ellie highly recommends this sniff spot as we. Thank you for being a great host!
55Very large, flat and clean yard. Yard is fully fenced (One small area does not have fencing but obstacles were placed to make a border. Secure enough that our very large and energetic lab did not breech.) Dog toys and fresh water available. Host even offered to set up a sprinkler. Our guy left happy and tired. Highly recommend.

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

Dogs will be kept in the home at all times. They mostly just relax and laze around the house. The older dog will bark to protect, but is generally very friendly. I will ensure he is out of sight/sound for your arrival so he isn't aware of someone in the yard at the time.

Description

Enjoy half an acre of yard with a small fruit/veggie garden! (If you see something ready to pick, please feel free to grab what you'd like) Your dog can run and play for however long they would like! Want a small kiddie pool or splash pad? I'll accommodate! I have two dogs, one large and one small (in the pictures). I will ensure they are kept in the home for the duration of your time to enjoy the yard! The driveway is large, so plenty of space to accommodate any size vehicle. My home is located right off the Carlisle Pike by Aldi! I can't wait to share my yard with your pups!
