Shaggy Pines Dog Park

Shaggy Pines Dog Park is, without question, our dog’s favorite place on earth. From the moment you arrive, you can feel the care and professionalism that set this park apart. As new puppy parents, the temperament testing before membership gave us immediate peace of mind - it ensures a safe environment where dogs can play confidently and respectfully. That extra layer of diligence speaks volumes about the park’s commitment to safety and community. The grounds are spacious with plenty of room for zoomies and sniff ventures. We love the mix of open areas for fetch and longer wooded paths for strolls; it means our pup gets both exercise and enrichment in one visit. The staff are attentive and welcoming, and they consistently model calm, knowledgeable dog handling. It’s clear they know their members and take pride in keeping the park orderly and enjoyable. What truly elevates Shaggy Pines is the community. The other dog parents are friendly & courteous. The result is a place that’s not only safe and fun for dogs but also relaxing and uplifting for humans. If you want a premium, well run off leash experience, Shaggy Pines is a standout. Our puppy’s confidence has blossomed here, and we leave every visit with a happy, tired dog and a big smile. Highly recommended. Like Share Response from the owner 4 months ago Thank You for the wonderful review Sean! We absolutely LOVE having you and little Marley in the park. We are so excited to watch that sweet girl grow into a confident young lady. See you on the trails!

Our pets had the best time at Shaggy Pines! They had a very spacious, fenced area with a pool, as well as a clubhouse that provides towels, doggie baths, toys, treats and more! They are also very thorough with updated vaccinations for all dogs entering the park. Christie was incredibly informative and accommodating for our first time here, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. We can’t wait to visit again!

Shaggy Pines is a great place for you and your dog(s) to socialize and exercise. It has several large fenced in areas with trails that vary in what they offer your dog from a wooded area with a pond to swim in to an area with wood equipment for your dog to climb on and open fields to do a lot of running and fetching. One of these areas is bound to become your dog's favorite! The staff is responsive and friendly. The clubhouse is a great place to bathe your dogs as well as get some snacks and beverages. In addition, they offer fun events every month to enhance your experience. My friends who have visited with me describe it as a doggy country club. I never joined with my past dogs because I didn't think I would be willing to drive 15-20 min and pay to play with my dog, but it is well-worth the investment. Your dog leaves tired and happy every time! +7 1 Share Response from the owner 4 years ago Thanks so much Elisabeth! We love having you and Emmie as part of our Shaggy Family.

This place is definitely dog heaven. Our 1-year old pup had the time of his life tearing around and way more open space to run and play than any dog park I’ve been to before. When we visited the little pond/sand area wasn’t running because it was out of season, but I can only imagine he’ll be pumped to play in it this summer. It had been raining quite a bit so it was pretty muddy when we were there, but there are washing stations in the clubhouse area and that was a life-saver. Can’t wait to come back!

My dog’s favorite place to walk and play! Beautiful grounds, large fenced in yards, and a pond. All dogs are temperament tested and up to date on vaccinations. And the people are wonderful!

Well, I'm not really sure how to review Shaggy Pines. Let's go with a one liner: We could not exist without them. We have a one year old Irish Setter. We go almost every single day. If we do, he's an angel. If we don't... Well, we go almost every single day . They just go so far above and beyond. Our boy has gotten better and better at being social, they throw parties that are a lot of fun, they help train. This place has just become a huge part of our lives. Especially in 2020, we've just loved being members and loved being able to talk to people we don't know too well about dogs and life. Where else can you meet people safely nowadays?? In summary lol... This is our second residence and we love it. +4 2 Share Response from the owner 4 years ago Thank You Robert! We love Sparkplugs enthusiasm for the park. His name fits him perfectly!

My miniature dachshund absolutely loves Shaggy Pines. Walking around the shaded trail enjoying the wildlife or swimming in the pond to cool off. Coming home with a happy and tired pup is priceless.

09-04-2021 visited this absolutely perfect dog park! They have thought of everything. Not just for dogs, but for owners as well. Very well organized. Staff are obviously happy with where they work, they weren’t just knowledgeable, extremely friendly. Honestly, it felt like we already had met many times before. Enjoyed the tour. Got introduced, me and my Maive and Maverick, to everyone we came across and their dogs as well. I love the family feel. We did lots of walking, M&M were able to run free with other polite well mannered dogs in wide open spaces with hills and sand piles and a huge pond that has a fountain and a hose on the side that would spray. There were benches and chairs available, that is where I sat and ate some lunch while they played and explored. We found this one section that was hilly and I just laid down on the grass and looked up at the sky and M&M laid down beside me and we just chilled and cuddled. When we all decided we needed to head home because we had an hour and twenty minute drive we noticed Shaggy Pines even thought of having a spa section for you to clean your dogs before you take them home. All amenities were available, shampoos, conditioners, soaps, towels, tubs that are very big and deep and up high enough so you don’t break your back! As I was leaving I found out they handed out free popcorn! So I took one for the road! I can not even think of one thing to suggest to make this place better than it already is! I just wish I had one closer to me. I guess my suggestion would have to be “Can you expand your business and open one up in Genesee County?” 1 Share Response from the owner 4 years ago Thank You Stephanie! We really enjoyed meeting you, Maive and Maverick and we look forward to your next visit.

Bringing a 5 month old puppy to ANY dog park can be nerve-racking. But there is no need to be nervous here! Staff was extremely welcoming and the park wasn’t too big for my little guy. Awesome swimming area, plenty of shade and great friends to play with. He obviously had a blast.

What would we, and our furry family member, Odin, do without Shaggy Pines Dog Park?! It is everything we could wish for. Odin needs a LOT of exercise and while we take him on several walks a day, nothing compares to letting him run wild and free off-leash. Shaggy Pines is perfect for both pet and owner - you get a beautiful walk out in nature in all the seasons and your furry friend can run around without you worrying about their safety since it's all fenced in. Odin loves every area of Shaggy and enjoys cooling off in the water during the hot summer days. We appreciate that with being a private dog park, everyone's safety is considered, both pet and owner, and everyone is attentive to their furry animal and uses proper etiquette. Odin himself is very talkative and it's been a joy seeing him connect and make friends with other dogs who match his energy and personality! Shaggy is worth the monthly membership. There is the clubhouse, a place to say hello to others, bathe your pet, or grab a beverage, and they have socials and classes throughout the year as well. I also appreciate that with it being private, no one can enter the gate without a key, so the safety element is reassuring when going there alone, especially in the winter when it's dark at 5:00pm! If you're on the fence (no pun intended!) then hop on over and give Shaggy a try, you won't regret it! ;)
