Bodemloze Geuren - 100 sniffable 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.

Randall's 0.5 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Niskayuna

A great place for your pups to stretch their legs and run around however chaotic they see fit. There is a tree-line in the back, with bird feeders, flower beds, and natural foliage. A great stick collection for any stick shopping you fur baby may want. There is nature abound, the yard is often visited by deer and fox, and plenty of birds! The yard is unfenced but the roads are quiet most days and most times, as the neighborhood is off the main road and home to many families who prefer leisure over noisy areas. The only other animals that reside in the area are fenced in, but the smells are abound! Poop freely, the owners will clean up. Water for you or your pet is available, and treats as well. A cat can be seen window-gazing at times, and a deck in the back is great for relaxing while your dog inspects every inch of the area :) ! If there is anything you would like, feel free to ask! Pet portraits are also available here, as the occupants are phenomenal photographers with experience working with animals.
