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!
