Jenny's Peaceful Private Dog Park with Privacy Fence

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

Near McIntyre Square/UPMC Passavant/McCandless Crossing. You may park in our driveway or on the street. Enter the backyard via either gate and enjoy! - Water jug under the deck (attn: may be frozen in winter) - Poop bags by the water jug - Trash can under the deck for poop bags - Bin of dog toys for your use - flirt pole, chuck it balls, tug, frisbee - Table and chairs in the yard and also on the deck If your dog likes to dig, they may dig freely in the dirt under the deck. This is a yard full of great sniffs - squirrels, chipmunks, voles, birds, bunnies and ground hogs all trek through regularly. Many dogs love to climb up on the stone walls and sniff everything. Running around on the huge deck is also popular! Note: The large deck has bird feeders containing safflower and sunflower seed. They are mostly out of reach, but safe for dogs just in case. DO NOT ENTER OTHER PEOPLE'S YARDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. **Please use caution in winter as everything will be snowy and slippery. The backyard and deck are not cleared in winter.

Hey everyone, My partner Wendy and I have a fully fenced (6 ft tall), private backyard (~1,700 sq ft) in East Liberty a few blocks from the Target and in the middle of the East End of Pittsburgh. We don’t use the backyard as much as we should, so we’re offering it to you and your pets! And our indoor cats, Binks and Tonks, will really enjoy seeing your dogs run around back there. We have chairs for owners, a deck for shade, toys and water for the pups, and street parking is available. We’re happy to add a place for your pets to run and play! Best, Colin and Wendy

Nana's .75 Acre Private Dog Park In Bairdford

Unfenced
0.75 acres

This well kept .75 acre area has a two main sections, an open area where your pup can enjoy the sunshine while running around and a shaded area under beautiful trees where you can both can relax and unwind after a long day. On the east side of the property, we’ve just planted a couple of apple and peach trees. Please be careful as we have surrounded one of the peach trees with logs in an attempt to keep deer from destroying it. If your furry friend has never seen chickens well, get ready because we have two chicken coops on site. The coop closest to the wooded area contains two Silkies, one Lavender Orpington and one Midnight Majesty Marians. The coop closest to the garage features two Rhode Island Reds and two Golden Seabrights. Fun fact, Seabrights are the only true bantam breed. Feel free to park in the grass next to the main driveway. You should have both flea and tick medications up-to-date since we have an abundance of deer, squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits that often walk through area in the early morning and evening. Please bring your own water for the dogs, though a hose is available near the garbage cans at the back of the house.. I hope you enjoy your stay!

Frequently asked questions about Pittsburgh small dog parks

What do private small dog parks in Pittsburgh offer that public parks don't?

Private small dog parks in Pittsburgh offer complete privacy (no other dogs), specialized environments for appropriately-sized exercise, professionally maintained cleanliness, flexible 24/7 scheduling, and safe spaces for all temperaments—puppies, seniors, small dogs, reactive dogs, or any pup needing accommodations. Public dog parks in Pittsburgh can't guarantee any of this. With 165 options, you get predictable, controlled environments perfect for your dog's specific needs.

Can I find fully fenced private dog parks in Pittsburgh?

Yes! Most of Pittsburgh's 165 private dog parks are fully fenced. Use the "fully fenced" filter to find secure enclosures with detailed specs: height (4ft, 6ft, 8ft+), material (wood, chain-link, vinyl), and gap information. This is crucial for escape artists, puppies learning boundaries, reactive dogs needing contained space, or small dogs who might squeeze through. Pittsburgh listings include fencing photos so you can verify security.

When can puppies start visiting small dog parks in Pittsburgh?

Puppies can visit Pittsburgh small dog parks as early as 8-10 weeks with initial vaccinations, much earlier than the 16+ weeks needed for public park safety. This early, controlled socialization prevents fear and reactivity issues later. Plus, puppies can explore appropriately-sized exercise without being overwhelmed or learning bad behaviors from poorly socialized adult dogs. Many Pittsburgh trainers specifically use small dog parks for puppy development.

How do I find private small dog parks near me in Pittsburgh?

Browse Pittsburgh's 165 small dog parks on Sniffspot by entering your neighborhood or zip code. Filter by distance, then narrow by features: fully fenced, "fewer dogs seen/heard," specific amenities, terrain type, or size. Each Pittsburgh listing shows photos, reviews, exact location, and instant availability. Local favorite Jenny's Peaceful Private Dog Park with Privacy Fence is particularly popular among Pittsburgh dog owners.

Can I rent small dog parks in Pittsburgh by the hour?

Yes! All 165 small dog parks in Pittsburgh are available for hourly rental. Most bookings are 1-2 hours, though you can reserve longer for training or events. Book instantly through Sniffspot, arrive during your time slot, and have complete privacy. Many Pittsburgh dog owners rent weekly for consistent, safe exercise.

What's the difference between Sniffspot small dog parks and public dog parks in Pittsburgh?

The biggest difference is privacy and control. Public dog parks in Pittsburgh mean sharing space with unknown dogs and owners. That means you can't control who shows up or how they behave. Sniffspot's 165 Pittsburgh small dog parks give you private bookings where only your dogs are present. You choose the time, the space, and the environment. Plus, your pup enjoys appropriately-sized exercise and maintained cleanliness that public parks can't guarantee.

Are there indoor small dog parks in Pittsburgh?

Yes! Pittsburgh has climate-controlled indoor small dog parks perfect for extreme weather, rainy days, or year-round exercise. Indoor Pittsburgh locations typically feature protective flooring, controlled temperatures, and enclosed environments. They're especially popular for puppy training, senior dogs, reactive dogs, or anyone wanting consistent access regardless of Pittsburgh weather. Filter by "indoor" to see options.

How do Pittsburgh small dog parks help with dog training?

Pittsburgh trainers love small dog parks because privacy eliminates distractions. Work on recall, practice confidence building in appropriately-sized spaces, recall for toy breeds, or socialization with size-matched playmates, reinforce obedience, socialize puppies, or address reactivity without interruptions. For reactive dogs, train without trigger-stacking. For puppies, practice skills in controlled increments. For any dog, get focused training time in an environment specifically designed for appropriately-sized exercise.
