    Good sized and fully fenced space with convenient parking. My pup enjoyed the smells and time to run around. I got a few practice recalls in, so I'm grateful that Jennifer's backyard is available!

    My reactive pup had an awesome time! Jennifer was very responsive and patient with my long list of questions before arriving. The location is in a nice and quiet neighbourhood, yard was very secure, spacious, and clean. I was delighted to find so many options for our training needs too! sturdy trees to hang toys, empty planter boxes for target, and even a gigantic monster truck wheel for confidence building! We will definitely be returning for another visit :) I highly recommend this spot for secure off leash fun, great for reactive pups!

    Jennifer’s place is great! Nice and private - great for my reactive girl. Great communication, and we were able to book & go on the same day! We’ll definitely go back again.

Hey! I’m Jen and I work with animals for a living. I know how hard it is to find a safe secure space for dogs to be off leash in this city. So please enjoy this backyard!
