45This was probably the best sniffspot that my pup and I have visited. The terrain was a good mix of hills, flat, and wooded areas. Lots of running, climbing, and sniffing went on. I went when it was dry but I could imagine that it could be slick going for humans if it was wet out - given the hills and a fair bit of bare ground. Wear shoes with a good tread regardless of the weather. Two minor criticisms- there aren’t any good steps leading from the upper part of the yard by the gate to the lower portions of the yard where the pup and I spent most of our time. Also when I went - following the recent sub-freezing weather - the water bowl and fountain were iced up. Luckily I brought some water and a bowl so my pup was able to drink.
55Huge fenced in yard with lots of areas to smell. This does seem like a well loved spot so most of the grass has turned to mud, especially on the left side where there is more space to run. Most of the yard is on a incline so if you’re looking for a flat yard this isn’t the place for you. Appreciated the water, treats (dog and human), and that there was a gate to block of entrance to the deck.
55Thank you for having us! The pups had a great time!
55Amanda’s yard was great for our 10 pup Silken Windhound get together/birthday party. They were very accommodating to us having multiple cars and even provided us with human snacks, dog snacks, and a water bowl. We are very appreciative that we were able to spend our pup’s first birthday at their yard! All of the dogs had a great time despite the rain and mud
55Awesome hosts, Mackenzie has so much fun here! Muddy but so worth it. New fence is great.
55Super cute terrain- love the creek feature! (Be careful when it rains- it’s slippery for humans- but the pups LOVE it!!!)
55Our pup had a fantastic time sniffing and zooming around this amazing yard!! We would particularly recommend this spot for large highly active pups. :)
55Amanda was great! My dogs were super muddy after running around and she helped me clean them off. The space was nice and big and my dogs enjoyed running around. Will definitely be coming again.
55What an amazing place for the babies to run, explore, chase, to just be dogs. The host had treats for dogs and their humans. Water for hydration and towels were provided in case they got a bit messy.... couldn't have asked for a better place. The babies were in their element. We'll come back!!!
25Not great for small dogs but my big dog had a great time. One of the Beagles broke out of the fence through holes and broken boards. Part of the fencing has missing sections of mesh. One smaller Beagle got under some infrastructure through holes in the wood. Overall, the structural integrity is falling apart. There were some cleanliness concerns as well with piles of poop near the bottom of the property. The water was really fun for them. There’s not really any grass (especially near the bottom) so it’s a big mud pit for the majority of the property. It needs some TLC and then it would be perfect.

Location

Springfield, Virginia

Description

This yard sits on a corner lot that backs up to county property. It is largely forested with natural vegetation and landscape. We have a stream that runs through the property and the lower portion of the yard is shaded all day for you and your dog's comfort. The creek area may be difficult for small dogs to traverse but we have plenty of other space they can run in! Make sure to check out our "intentionally wild" corner where our dog enjoys pretending he is on the hunt (and gets his digging in). Please note that we keep our vegetation natural and have a large number of trees. We do leaf clean-up weekly in the fall but you will still see some leaves! 75% of fencing is 6ft and remaining 25% is 5ft. We back up to county land and our neighbors do not have dogs. No other yards are visible from our yard. The fencing allows you to see through if you look at the correct angle so you may be able to see people or dogs walking along the street.

Welcome! We have a very secure private fenced in yard in a quiet and very dog friendly neighborhood. Easy parking on the street outside the house, and a side entry gate.  Our yard has sunny areas and plenty of natural shade from the trees.   A natural wooded yard that borders a county park on one side, with a 6ft wooden fence all the way around the property, and a side entry gate.  We moved here because of this yard specifically for our canine pack!   The ground cover is soft playground wood chips, soft for all pup paws, specifically designed to be comfortable for all kinds of furbabies!  Also completely pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer free yard! Also added bonuses, no mud or slippery surfaces during or after rain, also dries quickly. Plus the playground chips are a natural tick repellent. A fresh thick layer of mulch added late April! You can also enjoy a deck with a patio table, cushioned chairs and lawn chair seating.  We also provide poop bags, doggie wipes and towels, extra dog water bowls, outdoor spigot with hose for water bowl refills or hose play, elevated feeders for the pups who cannot bend down very well to drink and a few refreshments for humans too! Endless amounts of smells and sniffing opportunities from all the local wildlife that frequent our yard.  Good space for running, playing chase, frisbee, tennis ball, chuck it, soccer ball action for the energetic pups, and plenty of space for meandering, or just lounging around under the shade or in sun spots for the more mature pups!  The public park next to us has several wooded trails, so if your pup has any energy left, it is a nice park to walk! Memberships are available for this spot, benefits include member only hours during the cooler hours in the mornings and evenings in the hotter weather and shorter advanced booking times. All 100% of booking proceeds are donated to rescue groups saving neglected/abused/sick/healthy unwanted pets dumped in overcrowded high kill sheltes - including recurring monthly donations to Pets With Disabilities; Lizzy's Lodge Rescue; Miri's Legacy; Angel's Among Us Pet Rescue; Big Dog Ranch Rescue; Shadow's Sanctuary; Shenandoah Shepherd Rescue; Southside SPCA; HART; and Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation.  Any funds left over go to pledges for harder to adopt out pups on death row in overcrowded kill shelters, so rescue groups can pull them out to safety. Thank you for supporting pups in need.
