Reviews
HUGE running area for dogs. Positives: it’s huge, it’s well mown and watered, there are 2 entrances, and it’s in a nice area.
Negatives: it’s acreage huge, one of the entrances does not have a sally port, there are no separate areas for different size dogs, and no water.
If your dog needs to run, this is the place. If your dog doesn’t come when called, and you don’t want a hike, take your dog somewhere else.
It’s a nice big space, most of the dogs seem happy and playing. People seem friendly. But I just sat with my dog and watched from a distance. We saw two fights in the hour that we were here. I won’t allow my dog to play with strange dogs but it’s a nice place to watch.
It’s a great place to bring your dogs as well as your kids. We have a very good core group of people that brings their dogs. What’s really great is all the dogs play well together and your able to visit with the humans.
Great place! I take my dog at least once a day if not twice.
It’s a 30-40% chance for us to get in.
People make no effort to control their dogs, often bring too many (large) dogs, and many have started quarles because of this.
It’s not a Dog daycare, pay attention to YOUR Responsibility.
