Sometimes

My dog will never be audible or visible from the spot, but other people walk their dogs on the sidewalks in our neighborhood. Additionally, our neighbor sometimes cares for her relative's two dogs, so they are (infrequently) in the yard adjacent to ours. They cannot access our yard.

Description

***REDUCED PRICE! Is it our imagination, or are Sniffspots getting more expensive? To help save you some cash, we have just lowered our price to $3/dog---because we do this for the love of dogs, not money! Happy Hounds is a big, fully-fenced (6ft) yard perfect for fetch and exercise. We offer toys, dog treats, seating for humans, and plenty of space for off-leash zoomies! A "puppy pool" (kiddie pool) is available upon request (May through August) at no extra cost. We wash all toys and water dishes and disinfect human-handled surfaces and seating between each visit. Your health and your dog's health matter to us! Have fun, and remember to 📸 Tag us in your Instagram posts! @happyhoundssniffspot

Please also note that indigenous vegetation is present in the yard, and some of it may be toxic to dogs if consumed. Please ensure your dog does not eat any vegetation. Guests assume all risks involved therein. Thank you!

Making many "Happy Hounds" is our goal! We were inspired to open a Sniffspot by our resident dog Bear, who is highly reactive but LOVES to run off leash. We wanted our yard to be a safe haven for him and other dogs, too! We are always available to answer questions! Please don't hesitate to reach out. Cheers!

There is a small gap (~6 inches) between the ground and the fence in a few spots. This isn’t an issue for the majority of pups, but FYI if your dog is small and likes to escape.
