55Thanks for having us again!! Hope to see you soon!!
55Melissa's property was awesome! So much fun stuff to keep my doggy entertained and the layout of the property is very thoughtfully laid out with places to sit and relax throughout. The beautiful drive up from Denver was an added bonus. Would highly recommend!
55We had so much fun here today! The space felt super safe and secure and the dogs loved just walking around and getting all the smells. They’re exhausted now! We will definitely be back!
55Such a beautiful, peaceful place, and it’s so well kept. Will definitely be returning!!
55This is our first visit back for the season after discovering this spot last year - Ken started whining in excitement as soon as we made the turn off the main road! Such an enjoyable place for us to let our dog romp and explore without stress. We can’t wait for many summer days here!
55This sniff spot was great!! Our pup loved it and it was enjoyable for us as well. Great view! We will be visiting again!
55This sniffspot was exactly as advertised! Clear instructions and easy to navigate around the property. My doggies had so much fun and slept all the way home!
55One of our favorite spots! Agility course is great for my pup to keep up his PT from knee surgery and he loves weaving through the trees up and down the hill! There’s still a big patch of snow he got to roll around in on this hot day, so refreshing ! He was pooped when we left! Can’t wait to come back❤️
55We had a fun time exploring the forest area and playing with the agility equipment. Really nice that everything is fenced in! Will be back again :)
55This is such a beautiful, peaceful place and a the perfect playground for pups! I highly recommend it. Our pups are exhausted and happy. 😊

Location

Black Hawk, Colorado

Description

Take a lovely walk in the woods with your dog, let them sniff and enjoy nature. Three acres of forest, fully fenced for your enjoyment. This is not the average suburban development -- this is more like hiking in the National Forest. Lots of squirrels to chase, sniffs to enjoy and hills to run up and down. You won't have any issues with dogs or people on adjacent properties! This property is surrounded by National Forest and unfenced/unused private property. In addition, you have another acre for agility, complete with jumps, tunnels, dog walk, a-frame, teeter, etc. All high end equipment. The running surface is flat & covered with wood chips. The wood chips are all from local trees, so no worries about added chemicals, etc.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

This is like hiking in National Forest. The ground is uneven and hilly. Wildlife abounds. You are likely to see hummingbirds, ravens, and hawks. You might see coyotes, deer, elk, or moose on the way to my house. Mountain lions and bobcats also live in the nearby forests, but you are very unlikely to see them. The fence keeps the undesirables out of the area that you will be in. NOTE: Some of you have asked about snakes...and the answer is...NO! We do not have any snakes at this altitude! Thank goodness!

Extras

Agility Equipment$0

First class agility equipment, including Clip-N-Go teeter, dog walk & A-Frame. Two tunnels with sand bags, many jumps. Feel free to set up whatever equipment arrangement you would like. Safety tip: keep the jump bars below the height of your dog, at the shoulder, particularly for agility-beginners!

Dog Toys$0

We have a cooler that is overflowing with dog toys! Please play with them while you are here! Our cooler also acts as a lost & found. If you accidentally left a toy behind, on a previous visit, you'll probably find it in the bin. If so, feel free to take it home! Enjoy!

High Country Bird Watching$0

In addition to nuthatches, finches, chickadees, juncos, siskins, grosbeaks, crossbills and woodpeckers, you will sometimes see Western tanangers, hawks, and turkeys. And ONCE -- I saw a Golden Eagle!!!!! Hummingbirds, May through August: broadtailed, caliope, rufous & black chinned. TONS of hummers! If you download Merlin Bird ID, a free app from Cornell, you can turn on the SoundID and it will identify all of the species currently singing to you.

Introverts' Package$0

If your dog is a confirmed introvert -- or if you are -- just let me know and we will forgo any host greeting! I'll plan to be gone when you are here, or stay inside the house. My dogs will be quiet and invisible. You can park up by the woodpile, away from the house and come straight into the agility field, through the metal gate. I want everyone to feel welcome, in whatever way suits you best!

Tips for Reactive Dogs$0

This is a perfect place for reactive or sensitive dogs. Here are some safety tips: Arrive & leave on time. I often use the 30 minutes between guests for my dogs, so don't come in early or leave late without my permission. Check for other vehicles, to make sure no one else is here. My blue Tahoe might be here. Stay off the decks around the house, as that will trigger my dogs to bark. These areas are fenced off, to make that easy for you. Have a great time!

Weather!$0

Yup, we have weather! Sometimes it snows, sometimes it rains, sometimes the wind blows. As we say up here, there is no bad weather, only insufficient clothing. Please be prepared with an extra layer of clothing and good shoes. If your visit was spoiled by a sudden storm, let me know and I can issue you a discount for your next visit!

Wi-fi$0

Starlink, so it’s pretty fast. Use the “agility” network with 1234567890 as the password. Connection is better when you are closer to the house.

I love dogs, which is how I ended up living in a place that dogs love! I have 4 acres of woodlands around my house, 2 acres are fenced, with an additional acre in an agility field. I have loved and trained dogs who are reactive and am well aware of the concerns and the ways to help.

1/4 of an acre backyard with a private entrance. It's perfect for zoomies, playing fetch, and sniffs galore. We have 1 terrier and frequently pet set for many friends. The first thing every dog that visits our house wants to do is play out in the backyard! We're sure your pup will want to also! Plenty of seating and tables for relaxing while you are visiting.
