Enrichment Oasis- Fully Fenced

Eliza & Everett want to share their enrichment oasis with anyone who needs it. Eliza is an American Bully who has anxiety that contributes to her reactivity and has worked really hard with confidence building through climbing, digging, and finding what activities are enriching to her. She recently got a little GSP brother who moon lights as a speed racer & excavator. Their 6 foot fence was recently put in and it is now safe space to share with others. Being a Reactive Dog Mom is my whole personality and I am excited to let others have access to a space to explore. All equipment is dog friendly. Just use caution for your dogs safety with the heights and experience of your dog.
