55The Iron Nail Ranch Sniffspot adds a new dimension to the word “freedom.” Freedom for dogs to roam endlessly. Fantastic set up and well maintained. Great parking. After all you are the only one. Easy entry and easy exit. A cooler that contains water, shelves with bowls, toys and oh yes places to sit for hoomans. When they say totally fenced, I whacked the fence line. No worries the dogs are safe. Let them run! Highly recommend this site. Yes it is a bit of a drive from St Peters but worth the mileage. I plan on booking again but for two hours to let the dogs run and to let me do embroidery or read a magazine in the middle of an open field with dogs exploring. Thank you Elizabeth for having this place for us to escape to. Gabriele G.

55Such an awesome spot! They’ve really thought of everything with all the toys and water your dog needs, and a shade structure and lawn chairs for the humans. The area was huge and well-secured, so it’s a great place to work on recall training. The rolling hills around the spot were beautiful. Would definitely recommend!!CJ R.

55This is like a luxury Sniff Spot! It’s so well maintained and labeled, the directions are so easy to follow.
My old dogs tired out just with sniffs and wandering and laid in the shade with a nice breeze at the end.
We’ll definitely make this a regular visit. Emily S.

55The best Sniffspot we’ve been to yet! We’re driving cross country and have stopped at many spots in different states. Huge, well maintained, a shed with a cooler with tons of water, clean water bowls, dog treats, chairs for us, and dog toys. Directions were super clear. The dogs had an absolute blast!! Eric C.

55We drove out from lake St. Louis with our two dogs and it really was awesome. It was well kept, they had treats and water in a cooler and bags to use - it was a gorgeous day today and being out in the country listening to the goats and nearby cows and chickens was an added plus. We will def be back ! Maggie P.

55Currently there is a mud puddle towards the back right of the land so be prepared for your dogs to take a mud bath if you go over there😂 the property was great. The dogs loved being there and getting to sniff and be free. They have plenty of water for dogs and humans in the cooler and lots of bowl options and toys. The dogs loved stopping in the shelter. They provide some small towels but do bring your own especially if your dog ends up in the mud pit! I always have some in the trunk of my car with the dog gear. The property is beautiful and easy to walk. The fence contains the dogs and I saw no issues while walking the perimeter. The entrance was no problem to find and getting in and out was a breeze. Customers need to be cleaning up after their pets though as there are some piles of poop in the area. Someone is giving us private access to their property the least we can do is clean it up when we’re done. I will definitely be here again! Sophia A.

FAQ About Marthasville 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. 15% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Marthasville area are 5 stars.
