55The most PERFECT private, spacious, fenced, safe space for you and your pup!
I recently took in a pitty foster, and while she is very well-behaved and friendly, I haven't personally socialized her yet so I'm hesitant to take her to a dog park. My yard isn't fenced, and this dog has ENERGY to burn 😅Melissa's backyard is expansive, quiet, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything you need to wear out an energetic dog. I will definitely be back!Lauren P.

55Walter loves this place! We enjoyed our second visit so much. Lots of time and space for playing, training, and just enjoying the outdoors. Danielle’s spot is super clean and even though my lab isn’t super interested in playing on the agility equipment, he’s loving the space to sniff and explore! We will continue to return! Rachel B.

55We needed to run and catch some balls and this is the perfect spot. Unfortunately we lost a Fi collar in the yard (Fi wasn’t telling me on the app where it was). Danielle sent me a message to see if it was mine thankfully! It shows not only is she kind to ask, but also very observant of her sniff spot. Suzanne H.

55Fantastic visit. Spot is set up very well. My whippets are escape artists and I felt very comfortable letting them run here. The fence is high and there were no spaces to go under or between posts. We will be back. Melanie M.

55Absolutely amazing spot in Eldersburg! We took all 6 dogs, from 8 pounds to 40, and they all had a great time! Lots of shady spots and lots of sunny spots. Never felt worried about a dog getting out of the fence and never heard any other dogs or people. Will be back! Erin K.
