Thanks so much, Kate. Another terrific Cooper walk! Love how happy and wiggly he was when he saw you!

Anne C.

Thanks!

It was fun to see how excited Coop was to see Kate after a few weeks. He is crazy in love with her. And this is the dog we call Mr. Stubborn. Thanks for another great walk, Kate!

Anne C.

Thanks for keeping an eye on his grazing. Glad he is responding to commands for you. I really appreciate you working on his training when you walk!

Anne C.

Thanks for the detailed report!

Anne C.

Thanks for watching out for overheating and roasting paws! I appreciate you keeping him on the grass and in shade as much as possible!

Anne C.

Great job getting Mr. Stubborn to go walking in actual weather! He really did need the exercise. Greatly appreciated!

Anne C.

Thanks so much for keeping watch on his finds and reinforcing, "leave it." He is for sure wanting to get everything in his mouth!

Anne C.

Thanks for arranging the play date. Just what Coop needed to motivate him!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Northwood

Northwood Lake

Northwood Lake is named for the lake in the northwest section of Northwood. A popular destination for fishing and other water sports, the lake itself is surrounded by single-family homes and campsites. Your furry companion is welcome to join in the fishing and paddling, although he is not permitted on the beach. However, the rest of the lakeshore is open to him, on leash. The lake is easy to get to via Route 4 which follows about 2 miles of the shoreline. When hunger strikes, Johnson Seafood and Steak is a fur-friendly restaurant that sits on the lake’s north shore. Open for lunch and dinner, find a wide variety of dishes on the menu, from sandwiches to lobster pie, from haddock to prime rib. Bone apetit!

Forest Peters Wildlife Management Area

This 456-acre wildlife area is managed by the NH Fish and Game, whose mission is to protect wildlife and provide accessible outdoor recreation opportunities for the public. The Forest Peters Area consists of wetlands that form the headwaters of the Lamprey River, along with forestland and meadows. This protected area is home to waterfowl and other birds, moose, and deer. Dog-friendly trails connect with those of Northwood Meadows State Park and Parsonage Lot Town Forest, and provide ample opportunities to view numerous species of wildlife and native foliage and a long trek through these areas. There’s even a beaver pond for the curious among you!

Lee

Adjacent to Northwood, Lee is a small town that is definitely dog-friendly. Its Friend-lee Pets Dog Park, which is behind the Friendly Pets Store, is a 30,000 sq ft fenced yard for play, running and socializing while owners watch and admire. For timid or small dogs, there is a smaller, gated area where they can feel safe. The park provides dog shelters and picnic tables for rest and shelter, as well as agility and endurance equipment. Fresh water is provided, and there is even a fenced in dog watering-hole to splash and cool off. The store offers a pet-bakery with furr-licious cookies and cakes for your Bestie. Another dog-friendly spot in Lee is DeMerritt Hill Farm where your leashed fur-pup is welcome. The farm features pick-your-own fruit and vegetables, as well as hiking trails, a bakery, a hayride attraction and 2 play areas for the non-furry children.

Town Center/ U of New Hampshire-Main Campus

This neighborhood in Durham, a short drive from Northwood on Route 4, hosts a few Fido-friendly restaurants. Bella’s welcomes pups at its outdoor seating, where you can enjoy such delicacies as calamari, roast pork, fried fish and other dishes that will make you both drool. Aroma Joe’s offers human furr-liciousness in the form of coffees and teas, and pup-shareable items like Bacon English Muffins, biscuits and smoothies. Doggo will have to stay tethered outside while you go in to order, but he will think the wait is worth it! On Main Street, Tacomano Street Food awaits! You and your canine date can sidle up to one of the outdoor tables and enjoy tacos, quesadillas and salads, with a wide selection of toppings and fillings. Yum!

Gates Corner

Just a few miles east of Durham is the town of Dover, and home to the Dover Community Trail. Built upon an old railroad line, the trail is flat and easy for a stroll with Fido. It has 4 sections, and is open year-round. Pups must be leashed on the 3.8-mile trail, which begins at Fisher St and ends at Watson Rd. With an asphalt and crushed stone surface, it’s possible to bike, skate, walk, or cross-country ski. As the trail heads north from Fisher Street, it passes the Dover Cassily Community Garden, a peaceful place where you and Fido can watch the progress of the vegetables planted there in the summer months.
