Field & Trees 10 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Homerville

Unfenced
10 acres

We are Dan & Laura. We own 3+ acres of a cleared, mowed grass field area PLUS 7 acres of wooded ‘truck width’ trails. The trails are maintained with our mower, so no or minimal brush on them, making them easy to navigate. They are also color coded marked for ease of sense of direction. These woods are ‘working’ woods, as we harvest fallen trees to use for heat, so it is NOT Metro Park pristine! The trails are dirt, of course, and will be muddy- according to the weather conditions… However…. There always seems to be trails that maintain their drained dryness more than others. Our trails cover the entire perimeter of the property! They weave in and out among themselves! Quite a fun adventure! Pictured are wildlife- however- there is absolutely no guarantee you will see any. We have NO domestic deer like most suburbs do, so there may be NO sightings- just hoof prints. You have access to warm hose water during the cooler/ cold months. You are permitted to smoke and bring a cooler. If bringing kids please let me know. I will try to plant a feather or something for them to ‘find’ - You will pick up a sheet upon arrival, and parking is on site.

Winifred's memorial 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog In Maumee

Fully Fenced
1 acre

It’s a well maintained acre and a half fully fenced in yard. With 2 baby pools, we are replacing our current above ground pool so we will have that available again as an option for next summer (2027). Plenty of sun and shade with a big deck with lots of space to chill. It’s a perfect balance for dogs that need to run and run but also perfect for dogs that want to just mosey around and chill out on a big beautiful deck that over looks a massive yard.

Mattis Manor: Where Good Dogs Go Feral

Unfenced
5 acres

Welcome to Mattis Manor: Where Good Dogs Go Feral 🐾🌾 Come stretch those legs, sniff ALL the things, and enjoy 5 beautiful acres of country freedom! Our property features a gorgeous spring-fed pond perfect for exploring, splashing, and cooling off after some serious zoomies. Wander the grassy paths, explore the fields, and let your dog’s nose lead the adventure. There are also two barns open for supervised sniffing and exploring—because apparently five acres wasn’t enough adventure. 😂 And the best part? Our little slice of dog heaven is surrounded by approximately 100 acres of beautiful farmland, giving you that peaceful, wide-open-country feeling away from the hustle, bustle, and distractions of town. Whether your dog wants to run, sniff, splash, explore, work on recall, or simply wander around pretending they own the place, Mattis is graciously willing to share his kingdom. 5 acres. Spring-fed pond. Two barns. Country views. Endless sniffs. Mattis Lee has inspected the premises and officially declared it FERAL APPROVED. 👑🐊

Rob's 3 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Ostrander

Fully Fenced
3 acres

Our home sits on 5 acres, with nearly 3 acres of the backyard dedicated as a fully fenced, private dog park. Your pup can explore tall grasses, scattered trees, and mowed walking trails with plenty of space to run, sniff, chase, and play. For everyone’s safety, please keep dogs leashed until you have passed through and securely closed the second gate. This special place is shared in loving memory of our dogs, Major, Tank, and Jasper. Over the past 15 years, they spent their lives running through these fields, chasing one another, exploring the trails, and playing hide-and-seek among the tall grasses and trees. We hope your pups have just as much fun here as ours did and create some wonderful memories of their own. Helpful tip: Midway Market is only about 6 minutes away and offers a convenient self-service dog wash. Visit http://www.supermidway.com for details.

Frequently asked questions about Ohio dog parks

What types of dog parks are available in Ohio?

Ohio offers 2114 diverse Sniffspot options including dog water parks, small dog parks, and fully fenced dog parks. Whether you need a fully-fenced yard for a dog with poor recall, a climate-controlled indoor space, a swimming pool for hot days, or an expansive field for running, you'll find it in Ohio. Filter by fencing, size, amenities, and "fewer dogs seen/heard" to find your ideal match.

Are Ohio dog parks safe for all dog types?

Yes! Ohio Sniffspot locations are designed to accommodate every dog: energetic puppies, cautious seniors, tiny toy breeds, giant breeds, social dogs, and yes—reactive or selective dogs too. The completely private bookings mean each dog gets the exact environment they need. Whether your dog thrives with stimulation or needs calm and quiet, Ohio has 2114 options to match their personality and needs.

How do I book a dog park in Ohio?

Browse 2114 available Ohio dog parks, select your preferred date and time, and reserve instantly through the Sniffspot platform. Most Ohio locations offer instant booking, while some hosts prefer to approve requests. You'll receive confirmation, exact address details, and check-in instructions after booking.

When can I visit Ohio dog parks?

Sniffspot's private booking system lets you reserve Ohio dog parks based on host availability, and many operate dawn to dusk or even 24/7. Unlike public dog parks with rigid hours, you choose the exact time that works for your schedule. Check individual Ohio listings for specific availability and any seasonal considerations.

Do I need a membership for Ohio dog parks?

Sniffspot operates on a membership model with monthly or annual plans that include credits for bookings. Members get discounts at participating spots. New users can start with a 7-day free trial. Don't worry, there are no additional booking fees! Your credits cover everything.

What's the most popular dog park in Ohio?

Mama's Homestead is highly rated in Ohio, known for excellent amenities and consistently positive reviews. However, the "best" park depends on your dog's needs. A reactive dog might prioritize privacy and secure fencing, while an active dog might prefer acres of running space. Browse Ohio listings to find your perfect fit.

Can I use Ohio dog parks for training?

Absolutely! Ohio dog parks are excellent for training because they're private and distraction-free. Work on recall, practice agility, socialize puppies, or help reactive dogs build confidence, all without the unpredictability of public dog parks. Many Ohio professional trainers use Sniffspot for client sessions.

Are Ohio dog parks fenced?

Many Ohio Sniffspots are fully fenced, but not all. Use the "fully fenced" filter to find secure enclosures if your dog doesn't have reliable recall. Listings show fencing details including height, gaps, and type so you can confirm it'll contain your escape artist. For reactive dogs who need visual barriers, look for solid fencing options.
