There could potentially be a neighbor cat, but I assume they will know you're there before you know they're there, and will skedaddle!

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

generally a quiet neighborhood, but lots of people and dogs walk on canyon drive. A family with three small children moved in on the next street over, and when it's nice out, the children can be heard playing outside, and sometimes screaming, on the other side of the hedge/bushes. please "leave no trace" on the property. your dog scratching and leaving marks in the grass is the exception. thank you.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Lots of various plants that should not be ingested. I've never had a dog that ate anything back there, and I've had five dogs. I have been keeping an eye out for dog-dangerous foxtail grass. It was new to the neighborhood summer of '24 and I've been pulling it when I see it both on my property and across the road, to keep it from invading my property. There is a photo for your reference. You shouldn't see any because I am very vigilant in monitoring, but IF you do, please alert me. This spot has a creek with steep slopes, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water

XL backyard with lots of room to romp and some things to climb on (logs, stumps). Yard is entirely fenced, but access gate is hog fence and may allow for very small dogs to slip through. Also some stacked firewood along a 4.5ft fence means some dogs could climb the firewood and jump out. Yard backs to an elementary school and park, so at times there is recess near the back fence (busy), or just generally people at the park. Please do not use the dog kennel/enclosure area.

Hi yall, We hope you’ll enjoy our back yard as much as our dogs do. My wife and I run and manage our spot. Our area here is in a small neighborhood with little to no traffic. You can access the entrance through the left side of the house. Just push the gate and it should open easily. As for parking there is a guest area right in front of the house but the drive way can be used to park if there is no parking available. There will be a smaller little fence that can be closed but you can leave it open as well. We will provide some toys and of course balls so you can play with your dogs free of charge. We additionally have snacks and water if needed. There are poop bags as well. You can find these items on the deck and please feel free to sit down and enjoy a nice seat. Our back yard will have trees with plenty of shade and a large area for the dogs to run around. Some areas of the yard are muddy but it is mostly grassy. If you head down to the property you will find a stream with a sandy beach and an old bench. The stream is only accessible through our property but not fully fenced off due to the running water. But it is a secluded area where your dogs will not be able to run off.
