Puppers Pollinator Path and Prairie Sanctuary with Dig Zone in Elkhart
We have a Pollinator Path and Prairie Sanctuary with Sensory Fun including a Dig Zone for your puppers. We have a fenced in Backyard for you and your puppers enjoyment. The backyard is around 6900 square feet of off leash fun. We have additional attractions coming as the summer progresses. The Pollinator Path is close to .5 miles in 2 acres. It is a mowed path and your dogs are welcome to be on long lead throughout the area. There is wildlife and infrequently a domesticated animal neighbor that might try to join you. Safety is key. I will have long leashes available to borrow! As in any prairie and pollinator area, there may be thorns, raspberries and poison ivy off the path. In the backyard there is plenty of shaded seating on the patio so you can relax while zoomies, sniffs and yayas are being fulfilled. Pookie and Belvedere (as well as their humans) may be in the house when your dogs are here. But, they will keep all their 4-legged fun inside so your dog (or dogs) can enjoy the space.

Alex's 1 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Des Moines
Hello! Thank you for checking out my dog park. There is plenty of space for your dog to run freely. The back of the property and right side is fenced. This would be a great space for a trained dog to run freely and work on some advanced training. I am still working on some projects to make the property even more enjoyable, but I wanted to open the opportunity so you and your pup can get out and enjoy this wonderful space! I am open to any suggestions you may have for improvements. It is also not necessary to pick up after your dog. I will take care of that. I look forward to hosting you and your dog! I offer a 20% discount for any Military/First Responder.

Play spot
Come enjoy our open back yard with plenty of room to run & play. I've had a high energy dog that was stuck living in an apartment for almost a year so I completely understand the need for somewhere that they can be free to run. I occasionally babysit other dogs. (Open to petsitting for others as well) All will be inside & unvisible during your visit. Currently unfenced, however looking into fencing soon. Just ordered a dog pool with optional sprinkler! Any accommodations that would make our spot more ideal for your pup? I would love to hear some suggestions. Feel free to message any questions or concerns. We look forward to sharing our little peice of the country with you!
