55My dogs had a great time and so did I. The huge brush pile and woodsy parts of the lawn entertained one of my dogs for the entire hour. There was plenty of space to play fetch. The chairs were comfortable. There was a lot of shade which was great. Mary W.

55Great spot. My dog loved running in the open areas and sniffing through the more wooded area in the back. She was intrigued by the chickens but able to leave them alone.Gretchen R.

55Nice, clean, big, safe yard for the dogs to enjoy. Our pups were very interested in the chickens so if you have dogs like ours that haven’t been around other animals, it could be distracting.Adrea M.

55Our first visit - we will be back! What a great back yard, lots of different terrain. The chickens are so sweet, our pup Libby was not sure what to think and finally gave up. Great location too! Thank you!!! Lisa G.

55Absolutely great. Big yard to fetch a ball in. Trails in the snow for our dog to run on. He didn't notice the chickens until the last 5 minutes. Then he was curious and confused by them. Had a blast, Odie wore himself out. Brian S.

55Matt was great! Super responsive and the spot is as pictured/described. Sometimes people advertise yards to be larger than they actually are, but I found this to be big enough where both my Doberman and a Samoyed friend could get their zoomies out and really race around.Sima B.
