Could Your Yard Become a Sniffspot?
On Facebook, there is a fairly large group dedicated to dog-friendly spots throughout New Hampshire. The group also serves as an information hub for both locals and visitors, oftentimes where people will post questions regarding dog walkers, groomers, etc. I saw a post earlier this week from someone looking for a safe and private place to walk their dog that wasn't a public dog park, as their dog wouldn't do well in that type of setting.
