The space be private (e.g., you own it or have complete control over who uses the space)
The guest needs to be able to access the spot without passing through a private residence.
The space needs to be free from hazards
Plants that are poisonous for dogs
Insecurely fenced, partially fenced, or unfencedspaces near busy streets (< 5 acres cannot share an unfenced fence with a road with a speed limit over35 mph or 80 kph)
Insecurely fenced, partially fenced, or unfenced spaces that are less than 0.5 acres (~20,000 square feet)
Electric cattle fences cannot be live during visits if the electric part is less than 5 feet off the ground or not separated by a fence that most dogs can't get through.
Hosts cannot offer electronic collars or invisible fences as a way of controlling dogs at spots.
Swimming pools that are empty or have soft covers
Resident dangerous wild animals that prey on dogs or could easily kill a dog (such as alligator in pond, rattlesnake den, bear den, etc.). To be clear, this does not include the possibility of or periodic dangerous wild animals on the property, but only if it is known that specific dangerous wild animals are usually on the property.
You need to be able to provide a space free of dogs, other domestic animals, and people.
Many of our hosts own dogs of their own, but our guests expect those dogs to be kept in an area separate from the spot or inside during spot visits unless the host and guest agree to have the dogs meet in advance.
Domestic animals (which includes chickens, livestock, etc.) must be separate from the spot.
If there are dogs in spaces that are adjoining the spot but separated by a fence, the fence must be such that the dogs cannot make contact through the fence (e.g. a picket fence that dogs can stick their heads would not be allowed because dogs can stick their heads through the fence)
Some of our hosts need to meet with first time guests to explain the spot to them. This needs to be arranged in advance so that the guest is aware of it and it can be coordinated on arrival. If the guest has already entered the spot, the host should not enter the spot and approach the guest. The host should message the guest and coordinate how to meet with them. This is important for safety, since some guests have dogs that are fearful of strangers and the host entering the spot could be a trigger for the dog and stressful for their owner.

An event checklist is a document that outlines all the tasks and activities that need to be completed before, during, and after an event. It is a crucial tool for event planning experts as it ensures that all aspects of the event are covered, from the venue and vendors to the guest list and decorations.
Here's my never-fail rule for providing special touches that will make your guests happy: Find out what they do or buy on their own, and give them more of it.
A GREAT HOST SHOWS THOUGHTFULNESS & ATTENTIVENESS.
Find a comfortable spot for your guest and let the pampering begin. This is the perfect time to start some introductions to any others you have invited and get a conversation going. Make your guests feel special and create that bond with the other tips listed below.
An event host is an individual responsible for overseeing and managing the various aspects of an event. They are the face of the event, interacting with guests, ensuring everything runs smoothly, and creating a memorable experience for all attendees.
The goal is to be prepared, but not overly stressed. Therefore, being a great host is not only about how clean and decluttered your home is or how many drink options there are, but also being able to be present with your guests and helping the good times keep flowing.
As a host, you are the first and last person guests see at a restaurant. Because of this, you must always be alert, attentive and efficient. Keeping the restaurant orderly, making sure guests are happy, and keeping track of what's going on at each table are just some of the ways you can keep your guests happy.
