We have 8 fenced in acres for your dog(s) to have to themselves during your time. The fenced in area would be available to one pod group per visit, so it is perfect for recall training, working with reactive dogs in a safe environment or just simply watch your dog(s) have the time of their life without worry of other people or dogs. We also know some dogs need their own space away from other dogs and people, but would love to run and play off leash with their family! This is what led us to the idea of privately renting our fenced in FREEDOM PARK for dogs and their owners (or trainers) to enjoy a stress free, safe happy hour with your canine friend(s) giving them the freedoms of run, play, search, explore, climb and able to just be a dog. We understand the importance of off leash play for ALL dogs, but we also understand that not all dogs are great candidates for a traditional dog park. We have a beautifully fenced in "freedom park" that would be wonderful for owners that can not take their dogs off leash for whatever the reason. My husband and I are owners and managers of VT Barks & Recreation, LLC – Canine Camp.
