55Our dog Ozzie loved it here! So much room for him to explore and plenty to sniff. We adopted ozzie a month ago and he has some reactivity we are working through. It was so great to see him explore and run free. Thank you!Nicole K.

55This was our first ever Sniff Spot adventure. The two doodles had a wonderful time. I have a fenced in yard so know how relaxing it is to be able to play without worrying about escapees. The yard was much larger than mine, however and the fence even stronger. There were good directions for use of the optional pool, the shed with toys and general care. Very useful and clear directions. Loved having the shade on the perimeter and then sunshine in middle. Appreciated fresh water from the well, umbrellas for shade and ease of getting in and out. Definitely plan to return. Raandi S.

55This sniff spot was amazing! It was big, with plenty of room for my dog to run full speed, which he doesn't get to do a lot and I could tell he really enjoyed. I also was worried on my way there about ticks, but a spray was provided! There was plenty of water and toys as well, which was amazing because my dog always prefers a "new" toy to ones he already knows. We will definitely be visiting this spot again!Miranda O.

55This is quite possibly the best Sniffspot we’ve been to! What a dream of a backyard. It was very clean and the boys had so much fun running around. The pool is such a cool addition and I wish my dog liked swimming! Maddie S.

55Another wonderful PALS Park! Plenty of space to run if you have an active dog (not us) and a box of toys to use! We really appreciated the bug spray at this time of year and the fresh water for dogs. This Sniff Spot has all that you could want: open sunny areas to run and shady areas with trees and some underbrush to sniff and poke around in. They even provide people chairs. We will definitely be back!Angela G.

FAQ About McFarland 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.
