55This was an absolutely amazing visit for our dog! Kona absolutely loves the outdoors - she loves hiking, swimming, running, camping, etc.! Unfortunately, we don’t currently have a fenced in back yard and within the past year she was attacked by another dog that got loose and has since developed anxiety and subsequently some reactivity. This doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be able to enjoy life to the fullest though! While we have done a lot of work on her anxiety and reactivity, having a private fenced in area just allows Kona the opportunity to really relax and just be a dog!
Honeybee Private Dog Park was gorgeous and was probably one of the best locations I could have picked for our first time trying out SniffSpot! It did not disappoint! The space was a decent size, had both shaded and sunny spots, had a picnic table for owners to chill at if needed/wanted, plenty of open space for Kona to run, big bowls for water, a hose, and kiddie pools for dogs as well! I left the visit smiling so hard my face hurt, all because I was so happy that Kona was so happy! She had so, so much fun!Ceren I.

55A really nice welcoming spot to play with your dog and relax on the porch. Good balance of sun and shade. I'm sure we'll be back again.
My pup is dog reactive (she always wants to play enthusiastically with any dog in a hundred mile radius) there were dogs in the home that this sniff spot belongs to and one next door, but the ones in the home quieted down quickly and the neighbor has a tall wooden fence that blocks the view. This wasn't a big deal with my dog, but figured it would be good info to have. You should also note that there can be a fair number of cars that drive by at times.
We got to meet one of the other neighbors, Cheryl, and she was delightful.
If you need a spot for your pup to get their wiggles out; relax; enjoy some sunshine, shade, or fresh air this is a great spot to utilize! The listing and photos are an accurate representation of the space.Malinda L.

55This is the first place that has been actually conveniently located to UNC campus and such a helpful find!! She was super accommodating with my schedule. The spot does have a bit of a slope, but other than that it was a great place to play and has a “private” gate entry. Will definitely be back! Joline T.

55Had a great time. It was much too hot to run, so the visit was more about sniffing than playing. Wear good shoes as the yard is a hill. Normal debris on the ground for a wooded spot. You will need bug spray, with the rain and heat the mosquitos will carry you away. Pauline C.

55Our dog loved it! Lots of room to run around and a ton of things to sniff. A great place to tire out your pup. It was clean, quiet, and easy to get in and out of. We did put our 6-month old puppy on a long line during the visit because he’s small and clever enough to possibly get through the box wire fence.Aleah H.

55My dog loved this space so much! Great park to practice recall and/or simulate an off-leash hike, since there are a few little trails throughout. The one downside for any reactive/aggressive dog owners - the neighboring dogs essentially share the same fence and your dog will be able to go right up to them! They barked at us for 20 mins on and off which was triggering for my dog. Had to leash him because he has zero recall once he’s triggered and was worried about him jumping the fence. Still five stars as this is not the host’s fault and my dog had such a great time :) Sarah P.

FAQ about our Hurdle Mills 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.
