Description

****IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD so it is around 15 canadian*** This is a mostly open area farm field. Space includes a small wooded area within the fenced area. Bathroom available on site in the smaller barn. SMOKE FREE ZONE. Pick up after dogs, garbage bin provided. There are a few seniors visiting with mobility issues which is taken into consideration when there is poop left behind. You can always message me and let me know a general area and I can try to run out and pick it up between the next visit. There are some small gaps in the fence, so this is a great spot for large and medium sized dogs. Not a spot recommended for small dogs or severely reactive. Please keep dogs leashed until it is your time slot and are in the designated area and keep in mind you may pass another dog owner with their dog on a leash leaving or entering the spot. IF YOU CAN NOT CONTROL YOUR DOG ON A LEASH WHEN PASSING ANOTHER DOG PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS SPOT. Lots of seniors visit this spot and they may need some extra time to walk to their cars. For the most part spacing between guests has been good. Please read the essential rules the website has suggested in order to keep this a fun and safe place for dogs. Guests can be blocked from booking again if they do not respect the space or who are rude to me. Please check the spot descriptions for all details regarding animals on the property. Do not book after you read the description if you think it is not a proper fit for your dog. My phone number is 2509208914 and my dad's is 2508962860. Text or call if at anytime you need anything. This number is repeated in multiple places, including the welcome message. SPRING AND SUMMER ANNOUNCEMENTS *We will be adding a doggy splash pad and a kiddie pool with fresh water as an add on option. *shade umbrellas are out of storage and I just have to wash them... so they are coming very soon. *I am in the works of creating a full enclosed cat park. So if you are also a cat person or know a cat person please share my other link to book through the Swimply App. Similar to sniff spot but the insurance coverage is slightly different for cats ahah. "Scratch's Spot - Cat Nature Spot" https://swimply.com/pooldetails/70437?utm_source=pdp_share_button&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=70437. You can also book that spot for puppy training, as it will be a more controlled smaller space 18 ft long. This will have a little drawing table/play kitchen/play house for kids set up in the corner, and chairs. For people who don't have cats you can still book the space and visit my two friendly orange cats. The orange cats on the property are very people/kid friendly. The black/white cats are loving only to immediate family members. Thank you to all our visitors. It's been wonderful seeing so many happy dogs.

Additional rules

Not a recommended place for dogs with extreme aggression with the kennel next door. I would recommend reaching out to professional rehabilitation centers/facilities in Victoria for professional guidance. Smoke free area. Please be mindful this is a farm field not a sports field, so there will be some rocks, uneven ground. Remember when booking that this platform is in US dollars so I've tried to set the price to be around 14/15 dollars Canadian. You will see it listed at 11 dollars American. Two chairs provided for sitting but please ask if you would like more chairs to be placed out and if you require a small table on request. Garbage can provided please pick up after dogs as this is a kid friendly zone. PLEASE READ THE AUTOMATIC WELCOME MESSAGE THAT IS SENT WHEN YOU BOOK IT WILL INCLUDE ALL DETAILS ON ADDRESS and HOW TO WALK TO THE PARK ENTERANCE.
