55This backyard is beautiful and big with lots of space to run! I appreciated that there was water and lots of great balls to throw.
As some other reviewers have mentioned, this spot isn't super ideal for reactive dogs because of the neighbors' dogs. Fortunately, they only barked when we were right next to the fence. My dog is very reactive, and we were expecting it, so we saw it as a good training opportunity. :) But it was hard to draw him away to play instead of running back to the fence. Just something for other folks with reactive dogs to be aware of.Alison K.

55Beautiful, peaceful and spacious yard with lots of grass for playing. We brought all of our own things to be prepared but they’ve got water bowls, a hose and a basket of toys. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be back. My Husky had a blast! He’s 9 years old and dog reactive so he was like a playful puppy again!Crystal I.

55Our 2 labs had so much fun running and fetching! One of our dogs is dog reactive and this was the first time in ages that she was able to run off leash! The property is perfect though they were drawn to the pool! We definitely will come back here.Susan A.

55We were visiting from Oregon and needed a space for our dogs to burn off that road trip energy which this yard is definitely big enough for. My sister also decided to join us with her dog and the host was kind enough to accommodate them last minute! Very awesome, we will be back. Lea H.

55My 3 big Anatolian Shepherds enjoyed this well-kept suburban yard. Running like mad, the goofiest one mistook the thin pool cover for a solid surface and fell in. He has enough swimming experience that I was able to call him to the edge and help him out.Bret M.

55Large and peaceful space where my pup got lots of exercise and had lots of fun chasing balls. There are multiple dogs on the other side of the fence who came and barked a few times which got my dog-reactive dog riled up, but other than that it was a wonderful experience!Rebecca M.
