Tranquil Tails - 1.5 acre Fully Fenced PRIVATE Yard (Reactive Dog Friendly)

Welcome to our spot, the perfect place for your friend to enjoy some off-leash time in a safe and controlled environment. We understand that some dogs may be reactive or require a bit more space, and we are happy to accommodate their needs. Our location offers plenty of room for your dog to explore and play without the worry of unexpected encounters. No immediate neighbors have dogs that share a fence with us. Occasionally, a dog in the distance may be outside near the southeast corner, but this is rare, ensuring a calm and enjoyable visit for your pet. A kiddie pool is available in the summer, but I will need to be notified in advance on whether or not you would like it filled. Two humans per dog are allowed unless arrangements are made with me in advance. Please note that the yard may be wet or muddy after rain or snow. Additionally, mole holes might be present in some areas (providing extra sniffing opportunities!) 😜 Additionally, our spot is conveniently located right by the B&O Trail, making it easy for you to warm up or cool down your visit with a walk. Come visit us and give your dog the freedom they deserve!! Feel free to bring a speaker if you want to listen to music during your visit! 🐾

Bonny's 10 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Brownsburg

Our property is a mix of 2 open pastures, and trails through the woods. There is a smaller totally fenced in area (former goat enclosure) that’s great for working on recall and scent work. We have 2 houses with yards at the address. Simply follow the driveway past the yards to the Spot behind. When you see the white barn, you’re there! Feel free to roam and play. Off leash is fine as long as your friend has good recall. Our dogs have their own fenced yards up at the houses. Our property borders a riding stable on one side, so you may see horses and riders. On the other side of the property is a shooting range (about a mile away) so if your pooch is gun shy be aware you could hear shots.

This is not a good place for aggressive dogs for this reason, and because our neighbors have a dog (visible through the fence).

Melonie's Private Backyard In New Richmond

This is my own dogs backyard that potty, play, and train in for over 25 years. The fencing is privacy 4x6 panels and is over 25 years old. I am hosting it so other dogs and the humans can have a place to enjoy themselves without to many triggers. I have a little bit of training equipment. There are stick pole weaves and weave-o-matics (bought from our kennel club). I have some homemade Teacup agility equipment that was donated to my Granddaughter last Summer and I'll be pulling it out to see what is usable. Since this yard is my dogs area to potty and play I only bring out so much training equipment so they have plenty of room to roam. So keep an eye out on me changing photos so you know what equipment is out in the yard. I have kiddie pools that I'll be pulling out for my dogs to use as the Temperature rises. Unfortunately my town changes for water usage so they won't always be completely filled, just enough to keep the dogs cool. There are old dog toys in the yard that my dogs play with or destroy. Your dogs are welcome to play with them, just make sure to throw away the ones they destroy in the trash can. I also have a teether pole if your dogs like to teether pull. I have other training oddities that I will list as I round up for my dogs training. All I ask is please DO NOT bring SICK dogs to my backyard. If they are having Diarrhea, coughing, and etc. please don't bring them. Wait until it has cleared up. Please be considerate to others!
