Large, well-maintained spot to hang out with your dog. Always has plenty of toys and the hanging balls are great if you have a dog that is genetically fulfilled by biting and tugging. The longer grass in the middle is great for searching if your dog knows how to sniff out a ball. The hanging balls have also been redone and are working line german shepherd proof lol Always a blast!

Great spot! Tons of room for the dogs to run and explore, gate is totally secure all the way around, and plenty of toys to use. There is a nice shaded seating area at the top too. Also nice they have little trash cans for used doggie bags throughout since it is quite a big space. Overall great spot, will definitely return!

This was my favorite sniff spot so far. Huge plot of land and lots of space for zoomies. Boston loved chasing the birds. One word of caution. Don’t latch the entry gate on the screw. Wrap it around the fence. Boston almost got out. Other than that, happy tails!

Great space and amenities for the dogs! It was a beautiful area to watch the sun come up and my dogs ran laps in the grass!

Huge area, and solid perimeter. Slight incline, and high grass. Hard to find!! My only complaint was no signage, could have helped an out of Towner like myself. They have a slight path from the bottom entrance, tricky little lock, but a good one against some of those tricky escape artists, a couple extra leashes, too, which is smart. Nice agility equipment set up. As per the host “ closed at dusk, watch for skunks and expect wet country”. Oddly. I didn’t have any problems with mud when I was running around on the field with my dog but did manage to lodge my rear pickup tires completely in mud upon departure from reversing into the neighbouring driveway. But the neighbour dude saved me with his even Bigger truck . We’lll be back. MY PUP was tired. That’s all the counts.!

My first visit to a Sniffspot and what a gem! Peaceful country setting, great fencing, good dog supplies and a porch swing with a beautiful view. I will definitely be back!

This is a gorgeous Sniffspot! My dog had so much fun! She did get a bit muddy, but that was kind of to be expected. The field is very large and there are places to sit as well as lots of toys and things for the dogs. There are some blackberry bushes in the corner, but my girl never went near them so it wasn’t an issue. Overall she had a blast and was nice and tired by the end! It was a little hard to turn my car around, but besides that it is a lovely place! I will be returning!

This is absolutely our go to spot for some zoomies! Always clean, range of toys, and multiple sitting spots to relax at the end of our zoomies

Really enjoyed this Sniffspot! Hopefully once it’s not so wet the grass will be cut more often since we lost a lot of balls but our dogs did love running through the long grass! We would book this spot again for sure!

Our puppy had a blast getting to run free. This was our first sniff spot experience and we will be back. Wasn’t too bad after the rain we had this weekend.

Today was my second visit to Just Barking Around. I just love this spot. My pup was able to get a full out run which she doesn’t get to do frequently. She found a puddle and ran thru it a few times, which is her absolute favorite. Loved all the toys and she even tried the tube a couple of times. We will be back!

My dogs had a fantastic time. The space was well kept and we appreciated how many amenities there were (garbage cans, toys, seating, etc.). Will be back for sure!

Jim was excellent with communication and our dogs loved the open space. A very fun place for the pups to run around. Will be back again.

This place was awesome! It was easy to find, clean, and had a ton of toys and space. It was our first time there, but we'll definitely go back. Our Doberman really enjoyed the property. The view was amazing! Thanks!
