Location

Tarentum, Pennsylvania

Description

This very private area has a natural dip from the main road that protects puppers from wandering into unknown territory. Two fields of 4 acres each are available for the sniff spot; one field has 7 baby apple trees and the other has a very large, flat area for the dogs to run. Feel free to park in the main house driveway and walk your dogs across the street to enjoy our little haven from city life. You should have both flea and tick medications up-to-date since deer and groundhogs often walk through the fields in the early morning and evening. Please bring your own water for the dogs, though a hose is available in the main house driveway as well. I hope you enjoy!

Hazards

HOST NOTE

The road was recently paved, so it’s best to part in my driveway and then walk your pups down the natural dip into the Sniffspot fields. This is a working farm area and there is an open shed that I’m clearing out from the previous owners. There’s a lot of acreage away from the shed area, so please keep the pups in the open fields. The tall grass areas are where natural animal dens or dips/holes in the land occur. There is also a gun range on the other side of the mountain, so you may hear gunshots in the distance. You may also occasionally hear my dogs’ barks echoing from the house since it is higher up than the fields, but the dogs are secured in my home and do not venture into the Sniffspot.

Water safety notice

Feel free to forage along the creek! There are wild, black raspberries and blackberries in the summer, and there are black walnut fruit/seeds near the orchard area. In the center field, there is wild mint that grows along the creek edge. Feel free to explore the area and let me know if you find any other wild, fun discoveries!

We are a small, homestead apple orchard off of 908 extension in Tarentum, PA. With over 11 acres of land, there is plenty of room for your pup to explore in a safe area. Our land includes a creek that separates our fields from the main road.

Near McIntyre Square/UMPC Passavant/McCandless Crossing. You may park in our driveway or on the street. Enter the backyard via either gate and enjoy! Tons of shade for hot days. - Water jug under the deck - Poop bags by the water jug - Trash can under the deck for poop bags - Bin of dog toys for your use - flirt pole, chuck it balls, tugs - Table and chairs in the yard and also on the deck If your dog likes to dig, they may dig freely in the dirt under the deck. This is a yard full of great sniffs - squirrels, chipmunks, birds, bunnies and ground hogs all trek through regularly. Many dogs love to climb up on the stone walls and sniff everything. Running around on the huge deck is also popular! Note: There is a red Mulberry tree in the yard. Mulberries are safe for dogs. The large deck has bird feeders containing safflower seed. Safflower seed is also safe for dogs. DO NOT ENTER OTHER PEOPLE'S YARDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. **Please use caution in winter as everything will be snowy and slippery. The backyard and deck are not maintained in winter.

Colin's Private Dog Park In Pittsburgh

Fully Fenced

Hey everyone, My partner Wendy and I have a fully fenced (6 ft tall), private backyard (~1,700 sq ft) in East Liberty a few blocks from the Target and in the middle of the East End of Pittsburgh. We don’t use the backyard as much as we should, so we’re offering it to you and your pets! And our indoor cats, Binks and Tonks, will really enjoy seeing your dogs run around back there. We have chairs for owners, a deck for shade, toys and water for the pups, and street parking is available. We’re happy to add a place for your pets to run and play! Best, Colin and Wendy

Brooke's 8.5 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Mars

Unfenced

8.5 acres

Our home sits on 8 acres with Glade Run Creek running through it! We have two large fields as well as woods in the back of the house. If you need a quiet place for your dog to roam and swim like our dogs do, please enjoy! (My dogs will be put away and we no longer have birds…just a cute photo for reference/view of the property) Note: the field with the golf course and volleyball is not our property. One of our neighbors has a dog that is occasionally out which we have no control over, however, there are 8 acres to explore so if you see his dog outside on his property, it’s easy to avoid an interaction. In the summer, the wire fence around the garden in the front field is electric to keep out deer, won’t hurt your pup but will definitely give them a startling zip if they touch it. If we are home we will sometimes be out on our deck, mostly in the summer, but our house is up on the hill and with 8 acres to explore and the creek running through the center of our property, it’s easy to still have your privacy.
