Private Dog Park In Northgate Park
First timers: use discount code PupLove14 for $2 off! Welcome to my private dog park! It’s a great space for pups to explore and relax without worrying about other dogs or animals. I have a 9 foot privacy fence surrounding most of the yard, which can be latched but is never locked. I have grassy, gravelly, and mulchy areas for the pups and a seating area for the humans. There is also a hose for filling water bowls and toys in the yard or shed. There are no resident dogs, only curious (indoor only) kitties who may peep at you. Sometimes we dog sit, but we will be extremely conscientious to not allow the dogs near each other. Let me know if you have questions 😊
