55Great place for the pups to play. Lots of fun toys. Easy to get to and well lit. We had a great time
55Another very enjoyable visit with my pups. Thank you so much!
55Our dogs had a blast! The tennis ball launcher was a winner! Gate was a little flimsy, but would only be a problem for escape artists. We will come back after the thaw!
35The Barkyard is a great space, the parking is accessible and there is a paved path. However, we would not have visited today if we had known about the all of the dogs surrounding the space. There is no note indicating the presence of other dogs which I think should be mentioned clearly. We arrived and two small dogs were already barking in the front window. Once we got to the Barkyard the dogs went to the back door and continued to bark our whole visit. Then the next door neighbours dog started barking and my dog started reacting so we left 10 minutes into our visit. I completely understand that my dog is reactive but I thought this space would have suited our needs. Nonetheless , I do think if your dog is not reactive, this would be the perfect spot to let them run and have fun!
55Very welcoming hosts, The Barkyard is extremely large! Our golden retriever only lasted 30 minutes before he was tuckered out! Highly recommend this spot, our dog was super happy !
55A very nice spot. Some balls and toys are provided which certainly was appreciated. A waste bin is also available to use. My only issue was the gate to get in/out was not fixed to anything, it was just wedged in between the space and would be easy to knock out of place. It was also low, but I have a Great Dane so that might not be a problem for certain dogs.
55Exactly as advertised, easy to find, easy parking, nice open space. My only issue, which is my own personal issue, is that I have a fearful dog - and I was not expecting there to be dogs surrounding the yard. Now that I know, I will be more prepared with high value treats! Thanks for hosting me and my pup, all in all - a good time.
55Great spot for Archie to run around with a friend. Nothing fancy but a nice big open space to run around and play fetch
55The hosts were very friendly and helpful, and the property was great! They even made sure some paths were clear of snow despite a bunch of snow having just fallen. Our pup enjoyed the large and secure space to play fetch! We even accidentally threw a toy up on the shed roof and the host was kind enough to help us retrieve it. Will definitely be visiting again - thanks Clark and Ryan!
45I did like this spot. It was open, along with paths plowed. My dog could have escaped, a better access gate for future visits. However, if you do not have an escapist then you will be fine.

Description

IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD Good afternoon from the BARKYARD! Firstly, thanks for all your support to date! We signed up to Sniffspot to teach my son valuable life lessons related to business and customer service and he has really enjoyed the experience. However, I regret to inform you that we have decided not to provide Sniffspot services in the Spring and Summer months. We will re-evaluate in Fall but at this time we are blocking off any further scheduling effective April 01, 2023. Our reasoning is based on the damage that will inevitably be caused to our yard and the potential disruption to our surrounding neighbours when backyard use is more frequent. Thanks again for your support and please consider us for daily and longer term dog boarding/sitting services via the BARKYARD on ROVER! Boarding: rover.com/sit/ryanm06289 * Use code RYANM06289 for $20 off your first booking!!
