55Ruby had a great time romping around, playing ball, and jumping up on logs! There was a dog running along the fence line across the street and they seemed to enjoy running back and forth together for a little while too.
55Great yard! Tons of flat open space. My boys loved it all. Fence holds dogs, but my bouncy ball was able to get over a few times. We’ll definitely be back!
55Lovely yard, big enough for my husky mix to stretch his legs and lots of things to sniff/investigate.
55When coming from the North it can be hard to see the sign but this spot was perfect!
55Beautiful spot, clean with lots of spots to explore. My dogs LOVED it and the host was gracious and friendly. Nothing warms my heart more than seeing my dog in a full out run of joy.
55Nice open space with good sniffs and room to play. Large dog across the driveway did some barking and fence running. Chickens fenced near the parking area.
55Perfect spot for ball throwing, and recall training! 🎾
55Our two dogs had a blast running at full speed across the yard and through the leaves. Water station was set up for us including a large vase with beautiful flowering branches from the property. Will be back.
55Our dogs happily ran their hearts out. The area was spacious enough for them to run and romp without losing sight of them. Nice and flat area and very clean. We will definitely be back. This is our favorite sniffspot of the ones we’ve tried so far.
55Lots of great smells, trees and space to run, plus chairs to sit and enjoy.

Our neighbor's dog is sometimes in their yard. He's a barker, but friendly and also well-secured behind their fence, separated from us by a driveway. 🐶 We also have resident dogs outdoors who are available for "extra" socialization. Otherwise, they're kenneled out of sight during your visit

Description

Large, open play space, perfect for dogs of all sizes to get a go at opening it up a little! Give those cooped-up legs a well-earned stretch to run and chase at their hearts' desire!

Cleanliness

93% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

A tree fell in the yard so there is some excess shrubbery in parts of the lawn near the felled tree -Side deck is colorful with lots of seating, space and a doggy bed but no shade. Also, chickens are visible from here. -Front porch has rocking chairs, ammenities, and the 'extras' for guests when purchased. A pallet gate is in place here to block access to our side yard. If your dogs tend to chew on furniture or rugs please keep an eye on them while on the porch because there are loose decorations n such - Lastly, we have an active mole, so there will be dirt mounds (we collect for soil) that may look like there's a horse on property... We promise, there isn't lol Thank you!

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!
