55Such a beautiful spot! Brent and Chrissy’s property was easy to find yet tucked away and very private. We had the best time with our pup! The trails are so well groomed with benches to rest if you need it and a pond that our dog absolutely loved. 1 hour was plenty of time to explore, swim, and chase the ball that Brent and Chrissy left for us in the teepee. Our pup is reactive, so having a private place to let him sniff and explore is really wonderful for our little family. We just got home and he is so happy and exhausted :) we will definitely be regulars!Julianna A.

55This place is a dream come true! Our reactive dog loves to run but it’s hard finding places that she can safely. This is the perfect spot for our high energy dogs. We can’t wait to go back!Erin S.

55This Sniffspot is absolutely amazing and worth a trip to visit even if you aren’t local. The hosts were so kind and genuinely wanted our dogs (and us) to enjoy ourselves and fully utilize the space. They even blocked off extra time for us because we got stuck in traffic and arrived late. The pond is beautiful, the land has peaceful trails to walk on and the hosts provide everything you need to have a great visit! Meredith C.

55Thanks so much Brent!! Our dogs had more fun than we ever imagined. They loved running laps around the property and then jumping into the pond to cool off. We loved the set up so much, next time we might add the lake access for extra fun. We came all the way from Detroit and it was 100% worth it, we will be back! :) Sarah S.

55This was my first time visiting a sniffspot and I felt so welcomed! My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed racing through the trails. She even enjoyed the pond multiple times. We loved searching for the teepee with a little prize. We will definitely back! Thank-you for such an amazing space and being so welcoming!:)Alex D.

55Amazing!! It was so nice to have this space to bring our reactive dog. I had no worries letting her wander the trails and play freely in the pond. It really touched my heart watching her enjoy everything they have to offer here. So thankful for the contactless visit which made the experience 100% stress free for our dog. Blessed to have this place so close to homeEmma V.

55Love this spot! Brent accommodated for my reactive dog and we didn’t meet, which I’m super thankful for! I loved doing some training around the pond and my pup was happy to be off leash with no worries. Will definitely come again and hopefully bring my other reactive dog as well. Highly recommendRowan D.

55Have been here twice now it’s one of my favorite spots to bring our 6 month old puppy. The hosts are so friendly and they hid a surprise for our dog =) It was a super hot/humid day, so our pup loved playing in the pond. If you’re looking for a large safe space to bring your dog, I highly recommend this sniff spot! The trails are well maintained the property is so beautiful. (They even have bug spray available in case you forget yours!)Breanna R.

FAQ about our Mecosta 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. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Mecosta area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 25 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
