The Zoomie Zone - 0.5 Acre fully fenced in private dog park (Blenheim)

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

* Please note that prices are in USD because it’s an American based company that I’m using to post my property. *Spring is here! I am currently working on raking the length of the yard because of the walnuts. Still open though!* Our fully fenced in spot established in Fall 2024 is very long and narrow, with a small hill at the very back. It’s a great spot for playing fetch, or if your pooch has the zoomies. One of my neighbours has trees along the West side of the fence, creating a lot of shade for your furbabies. The second neighbour has a tall fence up for privacy. There’s a picnic table available for you to use - this is where you’ll find extra poop bags and bug repellent, and also a small bistro set off to the side by the gate that you’re welcomed to sit at too. Help yourself to the dog treats on the picnic table, and toys (available in the purple bin), as well as the pile of sticks for fetch. If the sticks get chewed up no worries lol. Those things can be found along the back of my house. We have some agility equipment - an all seasons commercial fibreglass tunnel, and a big wooden spool with a wooden bench to walk along. Feel free to bring some kibble to toss in the pool noodle pool! It’s a great enrichment activity for your dog(s) - trying to search for the kibble through the pool noodle pieces. The pool noodle pool is available, weather permitting. There’s also fresh drinking water for your dog(s) with a hose nearby to refill the bowl, and a small garbage bin provided for any waste. Please note that there is a neighbour dog who is in his fenced in yard sometimes. Also, I am able to put my chickens in the coop before you come if you request that. I am VERY open to suggestions or ideas to improve this spot via chat. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or ideas. We have Silkie chickens that stay in their fenced in area on the East side of the property. Nobody around here minds if your dogs bark at them. If you feel the chickens would be too distracting for your dog(s), please let me know and I can try and get them into the coop before your stay. Free wifi available ~ the password will be given when you book your visit. My goal is to have my setup better and better each time you come, so I welcome your feedback and suggestions! EXTRAS AVAILABLE (when you book these options Will he listed for you to choose) • Tennis ball pit • Dog pool (6’ diameter) • Dog bathing station (small) with shampoo and towel provided • Swing-set (children only) and basketball net • Waste management - we will pick up after your dog once you leave. • pig ear to chew on for the ride home. 2025 upgrades • updated gardens leading to entrance including new plants and edging everything • extended flagstone area in front of entrance gate • moved gate to a different angle to make it easier for visitors to enter • added a variety of different Hosta plants around entrance • added plain Hosta plants along the west side of the fence. They are just small pieces, but will grow in fuller each year! (Not fully done yet as I’ve run out of plants) • made use of the garden behind the picnic table • added self serve dog treats located on the picnic table. • added self serve bug spray

Fully Fenced 3/4 Acre Super Private Yard Perfect For Running And Chasing Ball!

Fully Fenced
0.75 acres

I am delighted to have you and your dog(s) enjoy this fully fenced in 3/4 acre yard! There are long open areas where doggo can run full speed chasing a ball. There is a concrete wall on one side of the property, woods covering the back and most of the side, and a tall fence on the front side, which creates a very private space. Also included is poop bags, water, and a poop scooper. No pesticides are used on this property. There is also plenty of room for parking multiple vehicles in the driveways. FYI- Chain-link fence is not tied down to the ground between posts, so a smaller dog may be able to push through underneath the fence. If you do not clean up after your dog, you will be blocked, so please pay attention to your dog! I hope you enjoy your stay at the property!

Frequently asked questions about Merlin dog parks

Why are private dog parks better than public ones in Merlin?

Private dog parks in Merlin eliminate the major risks of public facilities: unpredictable dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission, and chaotic environments that can overwhelm puppies, seniors, small dogs, or reactive pets. Sniffspot's 314 private Merlin locations offer complete privacy, professionally maintained spaces, and flexible scheduling. Whether you have a nervous puppy or a dog-selective adult, private bookings give you control and peace of mind.

How are Merlin Sniffspot locations different from public dog parks?

Merlin Sniffspots offer: (1) Complete privacy with no other dogs during your booking, (2) Controlled environments without aggressive dogs or chaos, (3) Flexible scheduling based on availability, not rigid park hours, (4) Safety for dogs of all temperaments and ages, (5) Vetted and reviewed locations—93% of visits get 5-star reviews. You get all the benefits of off-leash exercise in Merlin without public dog park risks.

Can reactive dogs safely use Merlin dog parks?

Yes, and this is exactly what Sniffspot was designed for! Merlin has 314 private locations where reactive dogs can exercise off-leash without encountering other animals. Since bookings are completely private with 30-minute buffers between visitors, your reactive dog won't face the triggers that make public dog parks impossible. Many Merlin owners of reactive dogs rely on Sniffspot as their only safe exercise option.

What amenities help anxious or reactive dogs in Merlin?

Look for Merlin locations with "fewer dogs seen/heard" to minimize triggers for reactive dogs. Secure fencing prevents escapes during stress. Quiet, spacious properties reduce anxiety. Some Merlin hosts specifically cater to nervous or reactive dogs with extra privacy features. Read reviews to find hosts who understand fearful or reactive dog needs.

How clean are Merlin dog parks?

Unlike public dog parks where cleanliness varies wildly, Sniffspot hosts in Merlin maintain their own spaces and take pride in providing clean environments. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers) to prevent disease transmission. Many Merlin hosts provide poop bags and trash cans. Reviews highlight cleanliness, so you can choose well-maintained locations.

Can I visit Merlin dog parks with multiple dogs?

Yes! Most Merlin Sniffspots welcome multiple dogs from the same household. Some hosts set limits (like 2-3 dogs maximum), which will be noted on the listing. If you have several dogs—especially if some are reactive toward other dogs—Sniffspot's private bookings let them play together safely without outside interference.

Are Merlin dog parks good for senior dogs?

Yes! Merlin Sniffspot locations are excellent for senior dogs who need gentle exercise without the stress of public dog parks. Older dogs can explore at their own pace, rest when needed, and avoid being knocked over by rambunctious puppies or large dogs. Look for Merlin spots with flat terrain, shaded areas, and smaller sizes if your senior has limited mobility.

How do I find dog parks in Merlin for small dogs?

Filter Merlin's 314 locations by "small dog friendly" to find spaces specifically suited for toy breeds and small dogs. These tend to be more intimate, with secure fencing that prevents squeezing through gaps. Some Merlin hosts have separate small dog areas or cater specifically to petite pups who might get overwhelmed at large public dog parks.
