What is a dog forest

A dog forest is a fenced nature area where dogs and their owners can visit for a fee. The whole area is reserved only for them. It provides a safe environment where dogs can enjoy off-leash activities, whether it’s outdoor exploration with their owner or playdates with other dogs.

Dog forest offers well-being for all visitors

Designed to promote well-being for both dogs and their owners, the dog forest provides a natural environment with plenty of space and stimulation for dogs to express their breed-specific traits. Dogs get more exercise and mental stimulation when roaming freely in the forest compared to being walked on a leash. At the same time, dog owners can relax knowing that in the fenced dog forest, there are no worries about dogs running off or encountering unfamiliar dogs.
