Putnam Station, New York

Description

Let your dog run wild and play on our hay meadows in Putnam Station NY. Spot is woman owned and operated, features seclusion and great visibility for a safe, rural experience (please see the map included in the listing). Wide open meadows are beautiful and convenient to NY 22 on a quiet country road. Easy, paved access from the Eastern shores Lake George NY, near Fort Ticonderoga, and the Western Shore of Lake Champlain. Dog owner DOES NOT need to clean up pet waste at our spot ;D Your pet's poo is a beneficial deterrent against crop damage and helps keep deer from hiding their fawns in the meadow. You should have leash, voice, or buzz collar control (we have collars available) to protect from escape into the wilderness or out onto the road. Please contact us a day in advance if you would like to borrow buzz collar system or GPS (so we can make sure everything is fully charged). Our town is VERY strict on DCO enforcement - no loose dogs on the road or neighboring properties EVER please, they would probably send you a ticket in the mail! :P If you anticipate having trouble with keeping your dog close upon entering/leaving the meadows please bring your car well within the steel gate to park before letting pooches out onto the meadows - there is a magnificent view toward the end of the access road and space to turn around in dry weather. Water features are available through streams and small ponds at various locations in the woods, also along the lake there are some ponds, for those who want a longer adventure. Pets may dig anywhere along the wooded edge of the meadows, please no digging in the grassland.

Hazards

Wildlife - beware of porcupines which are common in the region. Poisonous plants - including but not limited to poison parsnip. Prickly plants like blackberries, thistle, and burdock. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water. Uneven ground. Hay crop harvest may be taking place during your visit and cannot be postponed. Please: -avoid the old barn and construction materials.... we're gathering materials to build a cider house, its going to be amazing but it's a mess right now, too dangerous for guests and pets. -avoid the railroad below the cliffs to the East of the spot it is an active track! - avoid allowing dogs to bark at or chase livestock - livestock or dogs can easily be injured if there is any chasing!

Borrow our GPS unit so that we can help you quickly relocate your dog even in the wilderness! We have just one unit but even with multiple dogs this is helpful as they usually stick together when galavanting!

Dog Radius Collar #1$5

We have collars available that automatically beep, vibrate, and finally shock dogs for going more than 10-200 meters (customizable) from the battery operated base. You hold the base as you enjoy the spot to keep your dog from wandering off without you.

We have one of the most beautiful mountain views around and we're happy to take you and your pooch for a guided hike to our cliffs overlooking Lake Champlain (pending availability). Hiking to the lookout takes about two hours.

Radius +Training #1$5

We have three radius +training collars that beep, vibrate, and finally shock dogs for going more than 10-200 meters (customizable) from the battery operated base with added option to alert/reprimand dogs for going too far from the base, scaring livestock, chasing wildlife, approaching porcupines or skunks, etc. You hold the base as you enjoy the spot.
