55Beautiful, peaceful setting. My dog absolutely loves this Sniffspot!
55Our pup had the BEST time. The property is very clean, very well-maintained, and the directions from the host are very clear and thorough. Our girl Nola can be a bit reactive so we are so grateful Rini has opened up this beautiful and wonderful spot so she can get all her zoomies out and be a dog!
55Such an amazing place! Chunk and Hotchner had a BLAST!! They were so happy and excited for something new. Thank you for the opportunity ! We will definitely be back! Next time, we are probably going to book 2-3 hours !
55We had a blast! Definitely recommend☺️
55Absolutely beautiful location! Very clean and great accommodations. My Velcro clinger loved sniffing around the beautiful pond and listening to the ducks and chickens. He pretended to be a goat and eat the grass, did his zoomies and rolled in the grass. I will definitely schedule again for next weekend and remember ti bring his water bottle. 💙 I highly recommend this location.
55This was our first SniffSpot and it was an amazing experience! The property is beautiful and clean. The pond is great but there’s also plenty of space to run around for dogs who aren’t interested in swimming. The fences felt very secure. Winry had a blast!
55We loved the pond in the pines! It’s quiet and private. Our dog loved the pond and running through the field where the grapevines are. The ducks were precious! I wouldn’t recommend this space if your pup is reactive to chickens/ducks, because they are visible. The chickens/ducks are safe and away from danger in their pens, but if a dog sees them and has reactive tendencies, it could really stress the birds out. I wasn’t sure if my pup would do well in that situation, but I’m glad I gave him a chance because with some distraction and encouragement he quickly left the birds alone and we had a good time. The fence is secure and high so I never had to worry about it, which was a relief. The space is clean and the pond and surrounding trees make for a very pretty scene. We will be back!
55What a wonderful place! Swanson loved the pond and could have stayed in there all day! Thanks for sharing your lovely property with us! We hope to be back soon!
55My dog absolutely loves this Sniffspot!
55Large fenced in property with a clean beautiful pond for pups to swim in. Our boy Hank loved it!

Location

Columbia, South Carolina

Description

Our space is roughly 2 fenced-in acres. 1 acre is a field, and the other is a 1-acre surface area pond. This pond is between 1 - 7 feet deep in some places, so dogs love swimming and running around. The pond is safe for pups to swim in and drink from! We have 10 dogs of our own who LOVE to play in the pond, so we make sure it is as safe as we can. There are no Gators, Snappers, or Blue/Green Algae! We DO have chickens and ducks on the property, but they will be fenced in a separate area during any visits. Please know that we are a very new Sniffspot! We are always working on making things better. Please let us know if you need anything! Parking is on grass, not on concrete. Parking is between the fence and the bush. This spot is not handicap accessible due to the terrain. Please note we DO HAVE A CAMERA in our field for wildlife protection. This camera auto-tracks movement. Feel free to join our Facebook Community: Pond in the Pines Community

Hazards

Hey there! I'm your host, Rini. I have 10 dogs of my own, and work in the pet field. I know that dog parks can be intimidating and not great for many dogs. When I learned of Sniffspot, I wanted to join and set up a spot that would be perfect for not only single-dog families to enjoy with their reactive pups, but for multi-dog families to have tons of safe space for their pups to play. Animals are my passion and I love to see pups enjoying a safe space!
