During or attached to your visit, I invite you out for a pack walk through my little neighborhood. It offers several, fun, varied terrain options. From pleasant suburban blocks, to hikes through the forested back trails of Powell Butte or even just a quick jaunt down a tight winding road to a covered bridge; you get to choose. This is an extra great option for practicing on-leash etiquette.
Would you like to provide your dog a quick, supervised opportunity to practice on their social graces? We can help with that! As an experienced handler, I invite dogs of all energy types to meet with my dogs in a safe, calm and controlled environment. Add this Extra and we'll greet you during your visit, meet your pup, introduce them to ours and see how they get along. Over time this will build up their confidence and ease reactivity to other dogs.
From doggy birthdays and gotcha days to Spring Flings and Summer Picnics, this Extra makes an extra special event for whatever reason you and your pups feel like celebrating. Before adding this extra, message me for details, timing & your extra special event party perks. Yay!
I honor my guests' privacy and am also available via chat if needed.

A very nice space!!
The shire is a spacious and grassy area with a cozy covered area for humans. There was a dog outside at the next door neighbors house running the fence line and although they seem friendly, my reactive pup barked and ran the whole time. It doesn’t bother me but you should be aware if you have a reactive dog. The fence could use some updating, a large easily escapable gap on the south side is where I spent most of the hour making sure my dog didn’t escape. Also the compost pile in the yard was hard to distract her from eating. I think for most dogs this would be a great spot but probably not for us again.
Great spot with lots of room to play fetch
This is one of the best Sniff spots around hands-down the owner Amanda of the Shire is willing to help out with my busy schedule. There are times when I have to switch sometimes and she accommodates or if I need to come later, she’ll accommodate I really appreciate her letting us use her beautiful property. We were just there today. My dog absolutely loves it, thank you again for sharing your beautiful home and property and your kindness and friendship is just so rewarding and I hope your Shire has the best success
Host replied: Haha Thanks to you, Annabelle has been visiting since my opening day and I love her SO much. You are all soooo awesome! Plus... membership has its privileges! 😍 Xoxoxo!
Ever since Kimchi was a puppy, we took him here! He loves it here! So much space and so much fun! He will come back as much as he can! Thank you!
Host replied: It's been such a gift watching Kimchi grow up! She is the most precious puppy!!
We felt so welcome here at the Shire. Our names were written on a sign and the property feels very secure and is easy to find. The Shire is a great sunny spot! We appreciated the toys, water, different cozy seating areas, both sunny and covered, and all the amenities. Such a gorgeous country cottage feel to it with only a short drive from home. We had plenty of room to run, play frisbee without worrying it would go over the fence, and Reggie chased a squirrel up a tree.
Host replied: You are welcome back anytime. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Reggie romp around the whole of the yard! Thank you so much for visiting. See you soon!
We have been here a few times over the last year or two and it’s always a great time. Really clean, open, and has lots of different areas for your dog to sniff and explore.
Host replied: I. Love. Chico.
Great little spot! Enough room to get the zoomies out and throw a ball. We’ve been here a couple times and will check it out again.
Host replied: Milo and Winnie are super adorable and I love having them visit! 💕
Beautiful spot!
Always a wonderful time here. Lots of room for my dog to run and play, plenty of toys, cozy places to sit. Feels like being farther out of the city than it is, in a nice way. My dog loves it here so much, she starts getting excited half a mile before we arrive!

Welcome to my whimsical and woodsy play place in the city. The Shire is a large, happy go lucky yard that reflects seasonal changes with its varying colors and foliage.🌼🪻 Always spacious enough for fetching and endless zumiez, it also offers hide-aways, bushes and trees for the adventurous, sniffy pups to explore. Dogs in-training will enjoy the safety of full fencing as they learn how to both play independently and respond to our typical surroundings of occasional winged🦜, wheeled🛞 and pawfoot🐾 traffic. This 2yr old sniff spot is also a spot in-training with growth and improvements being worked on every season. I welcome feedback to help make every visit a most FUN-furred experience for all our dogs and their fun-loving families!
