55Hands down one of the best spots we’ve been to and it’s only going to get better! The host posted and showed also told me her plans for a water area, to include a restroom. She has created an exceptional environment, with lots of extras. It’s clean, well organized, and secure. You must check it out, even if you need to drive a bit farther than normal…it’s worth it. We will definitely be regulars here! Thank you Barbara! Sonja V.

55This is the best-equipped and most well-maintained sniff spot I have ever been to. I have used a dozen sniff spots, but I have never seen one this perfect before. There are many solid agility equipment options, and the owner, Barbara, prepares water with ice cubes for my three dogs. There is also ice-cold bottled water in the fridge for their humans, and we even have cooling vests we can use. It’s an amazingly clean spot with plenty of shade. Even during the mid-morning heat wave, it still feels a little breezy and cool. I can’t wait to come back with my three dogs.Gloria Y.

55It was our first visit to this Sniffspot. The host met us at the gate to give us the lowdown on the area. The host put out fresh water with ice for our dogs and a bag a treats. Nice little touch. We spent the entire hour there. Our dogs loved the grass area. I enjoyed relaxing under the shady tree. Very secluded area which was nice. I would highly recommend a visit with your pups. Jennifer H.

55This spot is awesome! So much more than the usual spots out there with so much physical and mental exercises available for your pup. Barbara has been so thoughtful in her set up and personal touches with complimentary treats and ice water for the fur babies and their humans.
The space is clean, spots for shade, lots of toys available, a nice mix of green grass and dirt.
My old lady pup shocked me when decided she was young and spry while she jumped up on the tires. After my mouth dropped my heart was singing to see her enjoy the space so much! Harmony P.

55OMG I cannot say enough good things about this SniffSpot! Wow! I drove 3 hours out of my way (1.5 hours each way) to make a stop at this spot and it was totally worth it! I just wish I could have stayed longer.
The host was incredibly thoughtful & kind; and she was responsive to all of my questions.
It’s essentially two fenced in yards, adjacent to one another. Both equally amazing. It was a hot day so we added on all the extras: ice cream (for both human and dogs), Gatorade and sprinklers! I love that it’s all very reasonably priced. And she leaves the goodies in a cooler so you can enjoy when the time is right.
The pictures are accurate and up to date. My dog had a great time. I suggest you bring whatever motivates your dog (treats, ball, etc), to really get them into using all the equipment. My dog loved the ball tether; which was great because she never got to use one before and I learned that she is OBSESSED with it.
The sprinklers were fun and my pup LOVED the kiddie pool. I think she appreciated that it was in the shade and a big size.
The whole place is doggy heaven. I would absolutely make the long drive again. Hopefully I can bring some of Cheddar’s friends along and make a fun play date out of it. I wish we had a spot like this closer to home.
Thanks for the amazing experience. Hope to be back soon! Sarah V.

55This place has everything you could want for your pups. My dogs had such a great time we rented both play areas and both were so much fun and unique. Barbara the host was so welcoming and accommodating had cold waters for us in a cooler, and our ice cream pup cup we bought from her ready to go when we got there,she greeted us at the gate to let us in. She had running water for the dogs to play in and fresh water all over for the place for them to drink. We loved how much nice green grass there was for our dogs to run around and play fetch when they took a break from the obstacle courses or playing in the pools. Plenty of places to relax in the shade with seating. If I could give more than 5 stars ⭐️ I would. Kristen R.

55This Sniffspot was absolutely incredible. Barbara was a very sweet host and offered several amenities including fresh water with ice for the doggos. The space was very, very clean and had plenty of obstacles and agility equipment. The splash zone was well worth the add on bc our gsd's love the water. The collapsible pool, splash pad, and 2 sprinklers were amazing as was the large green fields that were like an oasis during this summer heat. Highly recommend this beautiful spot. Lou Q.

55This place was great! It was exactly what we were looking for. Kaia is one month cancer free and has always loved running and jumping around but we’ve been so laid back lately due to her diagnosis. So seeing her run around and have an amazing time really made me happy! You’d never know she was a 10 year old! Thank you, Barbara! Nina B.

The dogs were all having an absolute blast, running around and playing together. The owner was incredibly accommodating, ensuring I felt welcome and providing helpful tips for care and safety. I can't recommend this place enough and will definitely be returning for more fun with my furry friend! Five stars all the way! 🐾✨Patricia G.

55WOW! This place was fabulous! Large, clean, green grass, plenty of activities for my pupper. Water was provided for my dog, although I did bring some. We were met by the owner who is very nice. She went over some of the info and then was gone. We had the place entirely to ourselves. This was our first time using the Sniff Spot service so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I wonder if they’re all this great. Mary T.

FAQ about our Browns Valley dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
