55This is a great place to take your dog. There was so much room for the dogs to run and even a pond for them to cool off. The host provided water treats and a towel to wipe off muddy paws. There was also a shady place with some chairs to relax in. Lisa G.

55This place was great! Spacious, beautiful, and so fun. My dog loved jumping in the water and running through the trails. It is reactive dog friendly. They had a whole little area set up for your doggy to have fun! I definitely recommend you take a trip here. We will be back! :)Kylie K.

55We loved this spot! The host provided water for us and our pups, treats, and toys to play with. The directions were clear and easy to follow. Our dogs had a great time running around near the pond and getting to stretch their legs!!Kristen B.

55The pups and I had such a great time at The Farm! They especially enjoyed the pond. The play area is very wide open with plenty of room to roam and even though there isn't a fence it felt secure with clear boundaries between the pond and the cornfield. Everything you could want was provided from dog toys to sunscreen to a towel for clean up. Quinn H.

55We took advantage of a warm day in February. Our doggo Knox had a great time at this Sniffspot! He had plenty to smell and he went into the water once 😂. Ginny and her family brought out toys and water. It was nice to be out in the country and have some seclusion.Maria N.

55We took all three dogs out. They had been cooped up with all the rain and cold weather. They loved it. They got super muddy but they were living their best life. The host was so nice and accommodating. We will definitely be going back. Lisa G.

55Our dogs had so much fun playing on the farm and swimming in the pond on the property. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a secluded spot to let their pups run free! Kasia K.

55We had an incredible time. Our 2 year old golden has hip dysplasia and her vet highly recommends swimming as a form of exercise. We found the hills property to be a perfect place for our girl to exercise and play in the water. The hosts had awesome amenities including a hose to wash our girl off with before our car ride home as well as a towel. We will definitely be back! Alyssa S.

55We had a wonderful time. Halo (my brother's dog that I'm caring for at the moment) had a great time in the pond. I've never seen him enjoy himself so much. It was incredible and Ginny was a great host.Pat L.

55Have a busy weekend ahead and rain forecasted tomorrow, so booked this Sniffspot hoping that I could help my pups burn some energy in advance of that. And it boy did it deliver! This place was perfect for my doggos to burn off some steam. I expected my Golden to get in and enjoy the pond, but not my Bernese. However, she hopped in within the first 5mins of us getting there and kept getting in and out the whole hour! It was so cool. They ran and played on the trails or swam the whole time. We’ll definitely be back. DeLaney S.

55Cute little spot and easy to find! The horses were so pretty! Dogs absolutely loved swimming in the pond. It was pretty mossy, but there was a hose to rinse them off before getting into the car. The host had left some bowls, water, and toys down at a picnic table. Dogs absolutely had a blast! Phylicia B.

55Unfortunately my dogs were not prepared for the bigger dogs (horses) but that is on my part not the owners. But it was definitely nice and secluded. Shane G.

55Very pretty truly country farm spot. My baby loved running and playing in the banks of the pond. It was almost level at that point so he just got his knees wet and muddy. We did put a life jacket on him, although a couple were provided just in case. Lots of pretty flower paths, butterflies, and corn fields. We did not find drinking water or a hose. But that was the only downside! Adia X.

FAQ about our Clayton 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Clayton area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 250 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
