Location

Mount Airy, Maryland

Description

The fenced yard is u-shaped and is a grassy hill, with flat spots on the top and bottom, just about an acre at this point. Our entire yard is about 3.5 acres and may be used, details under this. Great terrain to help your dog build some muscle or play fetch on for high energy dogs. Nice tree cover in the summer, and I’ll put out a couple chair swings under our shade tree - or bring a hammock, we have a couple trees perfect for it! We have an almost constant breeze that keeps the bugs away and the temperature comfortable. Wi-fi is available in most of the yard if you need it and there is electrical on the porch. We also have a small creek, flat grassy area and wooded area outside of the fence that you can use. The creek is spring fed and clean and the woods are on a hill. Great fun to walk around in. Please only use this if your dog is on a leash or 100% recall. We do have deer and other wildlife that visit. Hose for rinsing off provided. Water for dogs and poop bags and trash can will be by the porch. We will be expanding the fencing this fall to include another 1/2 acre or so and completely 6’ fence.

Cleanliness

82% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Not many, sometimes we see turtles in the yard but we have never seen any venomous snakes or other hazards. We keep the yard cleared of anything that might be injested or stepped on and holes are filled in.

I’ll wash and dry your dog for you if you need a hand. :) I have experience with large and feisty dogs, so it’s not a problem.

Doggy Playdate8 credits

If your dog likes other dogs, we have a group that would love to meet them! I’ll let one or more of our kids out and help supervise. Both males and females, if your dog is same-sex aggressive we have you covered. We only have large dogs on the property, they are good with little dogs but just so you’re aware.

Handmade paracord collars, martingale style. We can measure your dog while you’re here, or you can do it at home. If you know what you want I can have it ready for you when you arrive. Or pick from the color options when you get here and I’ll have it ready for you next time. Shipping or pick-up can be arranged.

Hi, we love adventure and the outdoors and are always looking forward to the winter! We’ve had Malamutes for almost 10 years now and love every single fur-ridden part of it. We enjoy kayaking, SUP, sledding, bikejor, canicross, fast cat, obedience, rally, agility, hikes, swimming, camping... I think that’s everything our dogs do with us? And visiting stores, Home Depot and tractor supply know most of our dogs names. I hope you enjoy our backyard and check-in often as we expand the fence and clear the pond so it can be a nice swimming area. If you have any questions, please ask!

100 Acre Unfenced Private Fields, Trails, Ponds & Streams

Unfenced

100 acres

A true off-leash adventure for dogs who love freedom and nature! Enjoy 100 acres of unfenced fields, rolling hills, and wooded trails—perfect for dogs who love to explore. You can hike on designated trails, on mowed fields or use the ponds for water training for hours with your pup(s). Our farm has: ✔️ Abundant wildlife! ✔️ Wide-open, completely unfenced land ✔️ Natural terrain with fields, hills, and trails ✔️ Ponds, streams and endless sniffing opportunities Parking & Arrival: Please park to the right of the big red barn, by the dumpster and begin walking from there. The farm sits on a very sharp curve, so use caution when entering and exiting the property. Please exit the farm by the farmhouse and only go straight (do not cross traffic as you exit). Dogs must be on leash when exiting your car and near the road. Once you are safely away from the road, dogs may be off leash for the remainder of your visit. If your dog has never been off leash, we recommend you have an airtag or a GPS collar on them. Please do not let your dog leave the designated walking areas on our farm. You will likely have the property entirely to yourself. Occasionally, you may see an older grampa (my father) working in the fields.
