Other dogsSometimes

Other dogs

Sometimes

No other dogs will have access to the side yard private park area. A fence also blocks off the private backyard which is not assessable to humans and their dogs. Making money off of this endeavor is something that I don’t care anything about. A host is not going to make any significant money per month allowing a private dog play area. My motivation is providing this memorial private dog play area as my way of giving back to the community.

This is a very safe curb appealing neighborhood, although you will be able to see people walk by, most of the time walking their dogs, because the wood fence which encloses my side yard scalops down to 4 feet in the middle between the wood posts.

Description

Buddy’s private dog park was named after our standard poodle Buddy, who absolutely loved playing in that area. The dog park itself was created to give those that don’t have a yard of their own, the option to play with their dogs(s) safely off leash, or for those that do have their own yard, but just want a change of scenery for private off leash play with their dog(s) A nice shady big corner lot that wraps around a the back of the white utility shed next to the house. Entry gate off the top of the driveway. It A completely wood and cyclone fenced area. Want to play in a safe area with your dog(s) at night? Flood lights will make the play area nice & bright. Off leash, privacy, play time for you, you/family, and of course, your beloved dog(s) For warm or hot sunny days, the Red Maple Tree in the play area will provide you with instant shade, and it is the perfect spot for provided chair(s) where you can throw optional provided numerous rubber ball toys to your dog(s) to retrieve. A canine, human experience, that will make you and your dog(s) want to return for more. Water hose & stainless steel drink dish available upon request. $2 discount per dog for first time visitors All billing & discounted rates are handled through Sniffspot.com Sincerely, Scott C Westin

I have had many of my own beloved dogs who loved to play in my fenced side yard for years, it would be a pleasure to help an owner & their dog(s) to be able to play in a safe yard, if they don’t have one of their own or just want a change of scenery & access to agility equipment that they may not have.

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Our backyard is a half acre of fully fenced fun! Conveniently located and ample parking. Tons of room to run and sniff! Half of the backyard is grass. The other half is a mix of pollinators and weeds awaiting my picking. It was all buckthorn when we bought the house in 2021 😬 I use natural methods to control weeds by hand picking, cardboard and tarps for smothering patches of weeds as I work on slowly planting the wild area.
