Big Dog's Backyard- 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Shelton

Fully Fenced
1 acre

FYI- The pool is open!!!!! Would love to have you and your pups for a swim. The water is up to 80°, excellent for both pups and humans! A reminder, pool use is an additional charge under extras. Enjoy! Fully fenced, secure and private acre of doggy heaven located on a cul de sac. Large grass yard, mulch, and wooded area on each side of the yard will keep your dog busy sniffing and exploring. The ground is cleared in the wooded areas for fun running and walks. Large blue stone shaded patio that backs up to woods. The large in ground pool is uncovered and ready to swim for an additional charge (see below”Extras”). The fencing between the yard and pool is not 100% secure, just keep an eye on your pups. All people and pets will be inside during your visit for privacy. There are poop bags, a bowl of water and a basket of toys for you and your pup if you wish. Whether you want to sit in the shade or play in the sun, there are multiple seating areas. Driveway and Street parking with easy access to the spot.

My back yard is meant for dogs, as I board dogs from my house full time. Lots of shade from trees, dog toys, dog water, and good smells. My dog Frank is also always game to play with other friendly dogs. I'm almost always available to take guests on guided walks of our private hiking trails or for a lake swim for an additional charge. I am also taking new boarding clients at this time.

Private 15-Acre Dog Oasis – Marlboro, NY

Unfenced
15 acres

Please pack out anything you bring in and help keep this property clean and beautiful by picking up after your dog. NOTE: THE POND HAD BEEN DRIED UP! Let your pup run, sniff, and explore on this private, perfectly mowed 15+ acre property—formerly a Christmas tree farm, now a peaceful retreat for dogs and their humans. * Over 15 acres of open grassy fields perfect for running, fetch, and zoomies * Scenic rolling hills and pine groves from the former Christmas tree farm * Private setting with no other dogs unless you choose to visit with friends * Gated entrance for added privacy and peace of mind * Plenty of room to roam, explore, and enjoy nature Please Note: The pond in the middle of the field has been removed. There is currently some bulldozing and site work taking place on the lower portion of the property, so you may encounter some mud in that area. The upper portion of the property remains open, with plenty of beautifully maintained grassy acreage for your dog to enjoy. Whether your dog loves to sprint, sniff, or simply stretch their legs, there’s still more than enough space for an unforgettable off-leash adventure. We look forward to welcoming you and your four-legged friend!

Bodemloze Geuren - 100 sniffable acres

Unfenced
100 acres

***STORM UPDATE 7/12/26**** Over 100 trees fell on 07/02/2026 during the Chatham storm. We will be working hard to clear the paths or make new ones. This may take awhile. No chainsaws will be operating when dogs are booked, but there may be a tractor dragging some trees around. Thank you for your patience. 💕🐾💕 Bottomless Smells. 100 acre farm. Lots of space for your doggos and you to roam. It is a rustic magical place. Parking is far from the street down a gravel driveway. Safe for your pup and you to get out of the car. You can park anywhere. If you feel comfortable you can drive down to the lower field to get even further away from the road. I live down the street while I am fixing up the old house. So, there maybe someone at work in the house. Once you park, the best walking is down to the creek. Go to the lower field and look for the opening in the woods. 150yards from field is the creek. On a hot day, wear good creek shoes and walk up and down creek. If you cross the creek there is a great trail that circles around to the Powerline. Warnings: 1. there are lots of deer! 2. There are old barns. Do Not enter any of the buildings! They are very dangerous!!!! I have rescued reactive dogs. I want to create a safe space for your dogs and you to enjoy this great property.

It's a work in progress, but it's fully fenced, and the pool is really refreshing for both fur babies and their humans. There are lounge chairs, speakers, and a lot of privacy! I started some plantings this spring, like young fruit trees, so your diligence in making sure your dogs don't pee/poop on them would be so very much appreciated!! You are welcome to bring up to 2 dogs per person.

Frequently asked questions about Poughkeepsie dog water parks

Why are private dog water parks better than public dog parks in Poughkeepsie?

Private dog water parks in Poughkeepsie eliminate major public park risks: unpredictable dog encounters that scare puppies, aggressive dogs that trigger reactive behavior, chaotic crowds that overwhelm seniors or small dogs, and disease transmission from dozens of unknown dogs. Poughkeepsie's 45 private dog water parks offer complete privacy, professionally maintained cleanliness, and controlled environments. Whether you have a fearful puppy, a reactive adult, a fragile senior, or simply want peace of mind, private bookings give you control.

How safe are Poughkeepsie dog water parks compared to public dog parks?

Poughkeepsie dog water parks are significantly safer than public facilities. Public dog parks risk: aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission, overcrowding that triggers reactive behaviors or injuries. Private Poughkeepsie dog water parks eliminate these concerns—bookings are completely private, all guests have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars.

Are Poughkeepsie dog water parks safe for reactive dogs?

Poughkeepsie owners of reactive dogs choose dog water parks because they offer safe, private environments for off-leash exercise without the triggers of public dog parks. Complete privacy means no unexpected dog encounters, no overwhelming chaos, no aggressive dogs. Reactive dogs can finally enjoy swimming and water play while building confidence in a controlled setting. Many Poughkeepsie reactive dog owners say Sniffspot is their only safe exercise option.

Can anxious dogs safely use Poughkeepsie dog water parks?

Yes! Poughkeepsie dog water parks provide controlled environments perfect for anxious or fearful dogs. No other dogs means no triggers, no overwhelming situations. Anxious dogs can explore a facility featuring pools, splash pads, or water play areas specifically designed for dogs to swim and cool off at their own pace without stress. Many Poughkeepsie dog water parks offer quiet, spacious settings ideal for building confidence in nervous dogs who struggle at chaotic public dog parks.

Are Poughkeepsie dog water parks good for small dogs?

Absolutely! Small dogs benefit enormously from Poughkeepsie dog water parks because they can explore without fear of being trampled or intimidated by larger breeds. Many small dog owners in Poughkeepsie avoid public parks entirely due to safety concerns—dog water parks eliminate that worry. Filter for appropriate sizing, secure fencing with no gaps, and hosts who understand petite pup needs.

Do Poughkeepsie dog water parks work for senior dogs?

Yes! Senior dogs thrive at Poughkeepsie dog water parks because they can move at their own pace without being knocked over by rambunctious puppies or young dogs. Look for Poughkeepsie dog water parks with flat terrain, easy access, shade, and smaller sizes if your senior has mobility limitations. The privacy means your older dog can rest when needed and enjoy gentle exercise without stress.

What do Poughkeepsie dog owners say about dog water parks?

Reviews of Poughkeepsie dog water parks consistently highlight: excellent privacy for all dog types, secure fencing that prevented escapes, clean and well-maintained spaces, responsive hosts, and safe environments for anxious, fearful, reactive, senior, and small dogs. Local favorite Bodemloze Geuren - 100 sniffable acres is particularly praised in Poughkeepsie. Read reviews to see real experiences from Poughkeepsie dog owners with similar needs.

How clean and maintained are Poughkeepsie dog water parks?

Poughkeepsie hosts maintain their own dog water parks and take pride in providing excellent experiences. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers). Many Poughkeepsie hosts provide poop bags, trash cans, and regular cleaning. Reviews highlight maintenance quality—browse Poughkeepsie dog water park listings to see real feedback about cleanliness and upkeep.
