Description

Welcome to our 50 Acres of Private Conservation Forest Enjoy peaceful off-leash walks through a rare old-growth Connecticut forest. Marked trails wind through woods, streams, and vernal pools, offering a peaceful escape. Benches and tables are available for resting and picnicking at the trailhead. This property is ideal for owners seeking a quiet, uncrowded environment away from other dogs. SAFETY NOTICE The property is large but unfenced. Dogs with any history of biting people or posing risk of aggression towards humans must remain leashed at all times while on the property. CONSERVATION EFFORTS Our USDA-approved Forest Management Plan aims to ensure sustainable stewardship of the forest’s health and natural habitats. Trail walkers are vital for achieving sustainability. As a walker, you can help us do so by: Donating. You can help us achieve our aim of sustainable conservation by making a donation. About 20% of your booking fee goes to Sniffspot allowing you to book a hike through their platform. You can choose to donate the remainder of the booking fee to support our trail upkeep initiative; or you can decline to make a donation and we will waive the remainder. You can book and come to walk your dog whether you donate or not. Documenting Biodiversity. Another way you can help is by sharing any pictures you take of the wildlife and interesting plants you come across on your walk. Sniffspotters’ photographic contributions have already been invaluable in helping us map the natural diversity of our forest. Feedback, Flagging & Fighting. Feedback on how to improve the trails, trail markings, etc. is valuable and we are always grateful to receive it. It is also helpful if you write to us to flag any obstructions, problems or hazards that you noticed when walking. Finally, some of you have joined us in our fight against invasive plants. If you want to join us, drop us a line and we will provide you with a most-wanted list, some gloves, a hori hori and loppers! Thank you for helping us to share and protect our forest.

Big Dog's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Shelton

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Fully fenced, secure and private acre of doggy heaven located on a cul de sac. Large grass yard, mulch, and wooded area on each side of the yard will keep your dog busy sniffing and exploring. The ground is cleared in the wooded areas for fun running and walks. Large blue stone shaded patio that backs up to woods. The large in ground pool is uncovered, but not swimmable yet. The fencing between the yard and pool is not 100% secure, just keep an eye on your pups. All people and pets will be inside during your visit for privacy. There are poop bags, a bowl of water and a basket of toys for you and your pup if you wish. Whether you want to sit in the shade or play in the sun, there are multiple seating areas. Driveway and Street parking with easy access to the spot. The pool will reopen on Memorial Day. It’s a bit chilly now, fine for the doggies, but probably a little too cold for humans. We plan to put the heater on starting June 1.
