Fencing

Enclosure

Partially Fenced

Fencing details: There is an agility area which is fenced. It is not a totally secure fence, though I plan to make it so in 2021. The only other fencing is around pasture areas to contain livestock.

Location

Graysville, Ohio

Description

Our Sniffspot has been referred to as Dog Heaven. We are in a remote area in the Appalachian Foothills of SE Ohio. We have farm roads, mowed trails and open fields you and your dog can enjoy, but the favorite place for most dogs is our pond. Our pond features a dock that dogs love to jump off of. There is also a large covered pavilion with tables and chairs. A basket of water toys is next to the dock. There is an outhouse there and well, it is primitive, but clean (unless the mice make nests, but I try to keep ahead of that) In dry weather the pond is accessible by vehicle but it is also a good walk for people and dogs, about 1/2 a mile from the parking area (and mostly uphill). This pavilion also has our "Sugar Shack" attached, which is where we boil down maple sap in February and March to make syrup. The Maple Grove is up a trail above the pond. **My dogs swim in this pond most days in the spring, summer & fall. The pond has an aerator and also is treated with Pond Blue, both of which help to eliminate the possibility of dangerous algae blooms. There is also no fertilization of fields that could run off into the pond. **

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

There is wildlife here, from deer to coyotes. We do have a lot of briars, but there are cleared trails. Ticks are probably the biggest concern. There are ticks, including deer ticks.

I have 2 Australian Shepherds, which I do agility with. I live on 200 acres in SE Ohio. I have signed on to be a host. My dogs are so lucky to have the property we have outside our door. I do believe in off leash exercise. I would like all dogs to be able to enjoy what mine do on a daily basis. I do not have experience with reactive dogs.

Large rolling hay field with a beautiful tree line on 3 sides. Part of a working cattle farm with cows, horses, chickens, ducks, and goats. The field is cut twice a year, but there is 4 foot wide path around the parameter that is cut by a lawn mower regularly to maintain short grass perfect for walking, this is about a 1/4 mile around. The field is fenced, but the fence varies in escapability. The south side has wooden board fence, the west side (nearest the road) has woven wire, the north and east side have older barbed wire fencing reinforced with briar bushes (see photos). If you're feeling adventurous, there is a small section of woods, pasture land, and a creek to explore through the gate along the right corner of the field. *please shut and chain all gates upon entry*
