55Great SniffSpot for my reactive dog. He even went through the agility tunnels for the first time, and several times! Bonus points for the seasonal snow patches left for him to munch on 😄Rowan S.

55Even covered in snow my dog loved this place. The agility course is really cool and has everything you might need to play with and train your dog. Toys and poop bags are provided in case you forget to bring anything. Can’t wait to return when the snow melts to explore some more. Carolyn G.

55This spot is awesome- especially for fearful or reactive dogs! My pup gets scared easily at new spots but the host keep their dogs silent & my dog was able to have a blast with no worries of strangers or dogs. Such an amazing location to explore and the agility field is super cool! The dirt driveway is rather rough so be careful in small cars if it is muddy, but mine made it up with no problem today.

55Brought my 2 dogs. They absolutely loved it! They had so much fun sniffing around and playing. One of my pups is sensitive so it was really nice knowing we had the place to ourselves and didn't have to worry about any encounters with other people/dogs. Maria C.

55Fantastic! Dogs LOVED it! The slick spring snow and ice made it a little difficult at times for my older dogs to get around on the slope, but they found their way around :) My dogs are not into agility courses but that area made for a good place at the end of trip to slow down, get some water and get some last sniffs before heading home. 4 out of 4 front paws approve! Will definitely be back! Thanks!Megan M.

55The instructions/directions from the host were great, and the entrance gate even had a helpful property map. The property itself was super fun and our dog loved it! Lots of good sniffs, especially in the woods. We will definitely be back!Hannah M.

55Our dogs loved it here, and we had fun too! The area was clean and very well maintained. You can tell this is a place built around a lot of love for dogs! We have a reactive dog, and he loved being able to run around and be free without seeing/hearing any triggers. Absolutely will be coming back! Claire S.

55I couldn’t have asked for a better place for my pup to run free! He had so much fun playing in the snow, running through the trees, and digging through the toy box. We were both sad to leave! Ashley V.

55Melissa’s property is nothing short of amazing! We took our dog there for his 4th birthday and he had the absolute best time running free through the woods and also testing his skills out in the agility park. It just happened to snow the day before which was an added bonus for our pup. We will definitely be back!Cole R.

55Everything was beyond perfect! We had an amazing time, my dog LOVED it, and we are both worn out lol! Melissa’s kindness, accommodations, and hospitality is so amazing. The Sniffspot was super easy to find with Apple Maps also. We drove over from Parker, and the drive was gorgeous. What a great experience and way to spend a Saturday afternoon(: we can’t wait to come back! Thank you! Sam M.

55Our dogs LOVED it here! Even my pup who can be scared in new places was very comfortable here. They ran around, played, explored, chased balls, & rolled in the remaining snow. They also did great with the agility equipment- I expected some hesitation around the foreign equipment but nope, not here! Agility has been something I wanted to test with my pup to see if she’d like it so it was cool to get a few different experiences in this one spot! Easily a favorite spot, we’ll definitely be back!Sarah W.

FAQ about our Empire 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?
