Great backyard! Our foster puppy loved running up and down the hill and our resident dog enjoyed his time playing ball :) There was comfortable seating and Tim was very kind. We certainly would return to this sniffspot again and would recommend it to others :)

Such a fun place for my dog to explore! The chickens are an added bonus and kept both of us entertained, thanks for sharing your yard with us!! We will definitely be back

This was such a beautiful backyard!! Fully fenced, woods, squirrels, cooped in chickens! Along with sandbox, dog toys, and a water dish. My dog absolutely LOVED IT! Will definitely be back.

My new favorite SniffSpot. Interesting yard w so much for my active 10 month old bichon who I swear is a beagle underneath it all. So much to explore and smell. One hour here leaves him so satisfied and at peace!

Love this spot! Lots of room to run! My dog is obsessed with tennis balls, and here there is a lot of room to throw and run. The only thing that took his attention from his ball were the chickens! He could not understand why they couldn't come out to play with him! Will be back!

This was our first time using Sniffspot and Pepper’s Backyard Paradise did not disappoint! The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe driving through on our way in. The yard is well kept and the fence is well constructed with no gap so little dogs are welcome with no fear of slipping out underneath. There was so much space to run with plenty of shade, toys and water provided. Trash can across the street was super convenient to throw out our baggies upon exiting. My pups had an absolute blast and are taking a much needed nap as I type this review. Thanks Pepper for sharing your yard. We will definitely be back!

This was my first sniff spot experience and it was excellent! The yard was a great size full of different types of landscape for my dog to explore. I was worried about the chickens but after a few sniffs Josie didn’t even really pay them much attention. The yard was fully fenced at a good height with no concerns of escape routes. There were toys around to play with and a water bowl to fill up if needed. Will definitely be back again 🙌

Beautiful weather today accompanied by a great space to run with plenty of things to sniff and explore. Thanks for prepping the water bowl! The pups needed it after all the running!

Very nice setup with chairs and a large open space for Ball Throwing. We also appreciated the trees and woodsy areas around the outside for lots of good smelling

We had such a great time! The chickens were a hit and it was a beautiful yard. Can’t wait to be back!

This spot was great! Be aware there was some kind of plant that had little burrs on it - didn’t bother my short hair dog at all but may be an issue with longer hair! All in all my dog loved it and I’m sure we’ll be back!

Nikia N.

Highly recommend! Big, beautiful, clean yard with a nice wooded area and an adorable chicken coop that could keep you pup entertained for hours! They also provided a variety of toys to play with and clean water. We will definitely be back!

Such a lovely spot! Very clean, and plenty of space to run/play. Lots of shade & fun things to sniff. Easily accessible water & heaps of great toys. Saying hi to the chickens was a bonus! Will definitely be back :)

Great spot with many things for our pup to explore. He was overly fixated on the chickens but that’s his issue. Would absolutely return.

First time trying Sniff Spot after our trainer mentioned it during class. Super impressed! Matt’s yard was well kept and provided lots of new smells and space for our pup to explore. Highly recommend!

Tim's yard is a great yard for throwing balls up hill and having your dog retrieve them - It's very private and Tim is great. It was our first sniff spot and just perfect for an introduction to sniffspotting..... Thanks Tim!

That hill is like a treadmill on an incline...perfect for tiring out dogs!! I appreciated the poop scooping variety, bin, and sanitizer!

Denise M.

September 2023

Tim’s Private Dog Park was our dog’s fave so far! He enjoyed going up and down the hill as well as exploring the shady, flat areas of the yard. The size of the space seemed to be just the right size: not so big as to overwhelm him but big enough to be interesting. We’ll be back if Tim will have us. :) Thank you!

This was the perfect place to come with my dog and toddler! The yard was clean, nicely shaded, and has a great hill for running up and down. Tim was also flexible with a last-minute schedule adjustment, which I really appreciated!

Julia L.

The hill was a lot of fun for our dogs and they tired out fast running up and down! Perfect size yard for 2 young dogs to chase each other 😊
