This was our dogs' first off leash dog park experience. They do attend a dog day care, but we had never taken them to a dog park. They loved it, & so did we! Great park, lots of different areas-- a pond, trails, an agility area, nice indoor space, both indoor and outdoor hose off areas. Even though this is a long drive for us, we will definitely visit again. read more

Our dogs favorite place to go! Thank you Shaggy Pines for providing a beautiful place to let our dogs run free.

My dogs love Shaggy Pines Dog Park and so do I. In this off-leash park my dogs are able to be truly free and exercise their bodies and minds. The smells, the space, the other dogs and dog parents make this place the best backyard ever. We go in there knowing we are with other loving pet owners who accept each other's dogs for who they are. It is a space where you never have to hear about leashes once you are inside the secure space of Shaggy Pines. read more

We utilize the Reactive Dog hours set at Shaggy Pines. There's no other place in the area that I'm aware of that offers this service. Athena loves when we pull into the drive... She knows she gets safe off leash time! And she LOVES the pond. read more

Or have fun with Memphis here. He hopes to meet your pups there!? There is a good amount of happy dogs there!

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! read more

My dog absolutely LOVES this place! He's a golden doodle just over a year old, and definitely still has a lot of energy to burn each day- and there is NO better place than here. They for the most part have only nice, clean, well behaved dogs. My dog is able to run freely through their fields that are securely gated and well maintained. In the summer they have a pond that our dog just loves to run into. read more

This is THE dog park of dog parks. Me and my poochers (and her boyfriend) tried out this park a few weeks ago on a coupon that we found in a local magazine. My little one was in HEAVEN. The park if sectioned off for different types of dog romping but you have compleate access to the park. Once you enter the park area it is all off- leash playing from there when pleanty of places to play. My little one had so much fun chasing, and being chased that she slept happily in my lap that night. They do have bathing stations so that you can clean your doggy after their fun time playing. You might want to plan for that because my little white pooch when from white to black. Who cares?? She had a BLAST! read more

We love Shaggy Pines. They always greet Chloe by name and are so friendly and helpful. We have been going since she was a younger puppy and she gets so excited when we pull in. She loves the water play area- they always have toys to throw so we don't even need to bring anything from home. It's so great to have a place where Chloe can swim, run and socialize with other dogs to get all her puppy energy out. The other dogs and owners are friendly and is a great way to socialize a young puppy. Everything is clean and the doggy spa area makes giving a bath so easy! read more

We stopped here while on a road trip passing through GR, and needed a place for our car-weary pup to play and run off some energy, so we stopped here. As it happens they give you your first visit free to try. After the administrative piece they gave us a run down of what they offered, tested our dog for aggression and let us in the park. I have to say the two people that were working were so kind & helpful! I'm guessing one was the owner. You can really tell they love dogs and love what they do, and they do it well, especially when you are doing a free trial and not likely going to join (bc we made it clear we were from out of town) but they are still kind, attentive and answered all the questions we had. I would not hesitate to recommend this place, and we will probably plan this as a stop on our future trips through Michigan! read more

Huge beautiful park -- about 5 total enclosures on the property. It's so big that it's easy to lose sight of your dog if they're one to explore and run off. My dog had a lot of fun and was super exhausted at the end, and the receptionist was really great in explaining what they offered and showing some of the park off to me. It's so big that it doesn't ever feel crowded or overwhelming with other dogs. The only frustrating part is that I tried to keep my dog in specific enclosed areas that were smaller than the main trail (she has a high prey drive and enjoys running off to explore more than playing), so that I could let her do that and still keep eyes on her, but twice another member coming into the enclosure would actually let her go through and get into the main park where I was trying not to go, and she'd run off and I had to chase her down to find her. That was frustrating because I'm not sure why they wouldn't wait until she wasn't next to the gate or simply block her when they were coming in. First time visit is free: make sure to bring your vaccinations records and fecal test proof. After that you can apply for membership or pay $15 per visit. read more

Shaggy Pines Dog Park - Large field and some trees in a smaller enclosure - Pet Services Near Me - Ada, Michigan

This is the biggest dog park in the area. The membership is pricey (as of this writing, $37/month per dog for a 7 day membership). I've been a member of this park for a couple of years now and have always been a big fan. Plenty of room to run, and a swimming pond for the doggies in warmer weather (my favorite!). There is an access card you can use to enter and exit at your leisure, and a clubhouse if you need customer service. Oh wait......customer service. That may be the one thing that is lacking in this canine superpark. Sure, they'll help you get a membership and all that jazz, but I'm talking about what happens AFTER you're a solid customer. Look, it's a dog park. On occasion there's going to be a bit of a scuffle. I get that. But aggression and intent to attack is something I can't stand for. So I submitted a complaint via email since the clubhouse was closed at the time the incident occurred. Imagine my surprise when I got ZERO response for a week. Now I'm not an everyday patron, so next time I went to the park, I went into the clubhouse to discuss what happened. What I was greeted with was confusion. "Didn't you ever hear back from anyone? I printed out your email and left it on the desk." No. Never heard back from anyone. I then got profuse apologies and an explanation of their intent. A few hours later I also got a nice email from a staff member. Okay, cool. That's all I wanted. Fast forward a couple of months. My other half took our dog to the park at the same time that the "Shaggy Shuttle" was on the premises. The Shaggy Shuttle is a van that picks up dogs from various surroundings in the GR area (boarding facilities or private homes that don't have time to run their dogs) and takes them to the park for a couple of hours. The only problem with this is that there is only one staff member supervising 5-10 dogs. A dog ran up to our pooch, jumped on her, and attacked her. Boyfriend pulled the attacking dog off and he proceeded to bite him. Hard. Drew blood. To their credit, the staff member offered medical assistance, but we never heard anything after that. Not a phone call, not an email, nothing. A week later I walked into the clubhouse again to discuss and was told by a staff member to just write an email, as she didn't know anything about it. Let me tell you....if I neglected to follow up on these sort of complaints in my own job, I would be fired. When a customer is BITTEN while you have a dog UNDER YOUR SUPERVISION, maybe a phone call or an apology letter is in order. My bf COULD have gone to the med center and they would've reported it to the health department, who would have had that dog quarantined for 10 days and possibly put down. Maybe it's a good idea to follow up with people and make sure they are okay. We never did hear any sort of response from management, or anyone else for that matter. Disappointing, to say the least. I give Shaggy Pines 3 stars because my dog loves to go there and run free. She also loves to swim. The facilities are very nice, and if there wasn't this customer service issue, SP would get a 5 from me. I've been a member there for 3 years and have just had problems within the last few months. Who knows....maybe the park is getting too big with too many dogs running around. But for goodness sake....people and other dogs' safety matters. Or at least it should, right? Facilities = 5 Customer service = 1 Rating = 3 (happy medium between the two) read more

Love Shaggy Pines! My dog does the Shaggy Shuttle once per week- he comes home happy and tired. Such a perk and can't beat the price. The owner and staff truly care about the dogs and members. read more
