55This is a great spot. The fence is secure and solid, so it was easy for my dog to focus on me for some fetch and training with only a few distractions. The host, Courtney, was lovely and welcoming, and even left out a ball and some poop bags. We had brought our own, but this was a friendly touch. We will definitely be visiting again!Lia M.

55One of the first things we noticed was the spacious and open yard. The fences were very high and everything was very neat and well kept. Our Pitbull Terrier, Yogi, fell in love with the space instantly and spent the next several minutes just sniffing around and taking in everything!
Courtney, our host, was wonderful and let us enjoy our time privately and let us play with Yogi at our own pace. We never felt rushed and only felt invited and encouraged to spend as much time as possible just enjoying ourselves!
We will most definitely be coming back and I would highly recommend Courtney to anyone I know who wants to play with their furry friends privately.Taylor N.

55Sadie had a great time in Courtney’s backyard! It was the perfect space for her to get her zoomies out. She ran in circles and played fetch until she got tired. We really enjoyed the seating area and shade it provided. Courtney’s instructions were easy to follow. We will definitely be back! Dana L.

55My two dogs enjoyed running and exploring this yard. Theres a large space and a gated section (within the fenced yard), thats grassy.
Opposite of the gated area is an open half grass/half bark area your dogs can play around.
There are planters around so beware not to knock those over! Heidi C.

55Robyn is an amazing host! She’s always accommodating and creates a safe space for my reactive dog to play away from triggers. There was a time when my dog saw a neighbor’s dog outside on the street while we were parking and he had a meltdown in the car; I didn’t feel safe letting him out of the car so we were unable to use our scheduled visit. Robyn was very caring and messaged me since we didn’t show up and offered us a code to use another time so I wouldn’t lose the money I used for the visit. I appreciated this so much, having a reactive dog can be so stressful and isolating and I feel like Robyn’s support and offering her yard has been such a key component in finding balance for me and my dog. Thank you!! Alison C.

55Oreo loved it! She says, “thanks for the fresh water. I liked running around with my ball. There were good hiding places for my game of hide the ball. There was so much space I could practice agility. Fun times! I didn’t want to leave.”Saaski M.
