My Dog and Me
Private time-slot park for reactive dogs with the whole place to yourself
About this park
My Dog and Me is a by-appointment private dog park east of Madison built specifically for reactive, anxious, or shy dogs that can't handle a public park. A booked window buys the whole fenced property, and a 15-minute buffer between slots means one group rarely crosses paths with the next.
Amenities
My Dog and Me reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers with reactive, anxious, or special-needs dogs describe My Dog and Me as life-changing. The private time slots, six-foot fencing, and double-gate entry let dogs run off-leash for the first time. The owners keep the grounds immaculate and stock pools, toys, and extra bags.
Not a social park by design (the whole point is no other dogs), but the online-booking operation and the host family get consistent five-star reviews for being welcoming and responsive.
Best for
Before you go
Book your time slot online ahead of time; the park is appointment-only, and payment is on-site via cash or check. The entry "airlock" has a small potty area and leash-on space before the main gate, so let your dog do their business there to keep the main field clean.
Frequently asked
- Can a dog show up without a reservation?
- No. Every visit is a booked time slot through an online system reviewers describe as quick and clear, and the 15-minute gap between slots keeps one group from meeting the next.
- Is it a good fit for a dog-reactive dog?
- That is the reason My Dog and Me exists. The booking holds the fenced property for one group at a time, and owners of reactive dogs write about watching their dog run off-leash for the first time here.
- How does payment work?
- Booking happens online, but payment is settled on arrival by cash or check, dropped in a payment box beside the sign-in forms. Reviewers rate the price well and have asked for an online option.
- How secure is the fencing and the entrance?
- The perimeter fence runs about six feet, tall enough that reviewers with jumpers relax. Entry is a double-gated airlock with a small potty area where leashes come off before the main field.
- What is the terrain like, and is there shade?
- Tall sniffing grass cut through with mowed walking paths, under enough tree cover that shade is easy to find. Pools and a hose sit on the property for hot afternoons.
