55We arrived this morning right at 7am for our morning jaunt. Janet’s instructions were spot on and getting into the enclosure was super duper easy. Our six dogs loved running the 2 acre enclosure. We have both big and small dogs and all were able to safely run without issue. There is plenty of shade, water was available along with two chairs, dog toys and a bag of treats. No farm animals were out this morning, but the dogs enjoyed all of the smells. We will definitely be back. J J.

55We've been here twice now, and it's great every time. We just can't get enough of the open space. And seeing the other animals is fun, too.Jessica S.

55Janet walked over to meet me, and welcome myself and Charlotte, my black lab mix. Plenty of room to roam unleashed! Lots of trees and shade. Charlotte loved the donkeys and chickens on the other side of a fence. There was water and dog toys waiting, as well as a chair for me. Janet thought of everything. We are returning next week.Kim P.

55What an awesome, lively place! 10/10. Even in 100 degrees of heat, we still had a fun and safe time. My dog loved jumping full speed into the big trough of water (sorry about the mud). The fence is really secure, the toys are great, and the spit is clean and beautifully kempt! This was my first ever sniff spot, and was a really great intro into this community. Lou F.

55Absolutely gorgeous here, every season of the year! Expansive pastures. Dogs safely run and explore like nowhere they've ever been! They get to see the gentle donkeys through the fence. Yesterday, our Great Dane was thrilled at the surprise of greeting their lovely and beautiful horse too. We are in awe of the way they take care of their animals. The shaded areas, chairs/picnic table, and big fulled water bowl helped us all on this extremely hot day. Such a paradise here for the fur babies!!!4 dogs M.

55Great fenced in field with a mixture of sun and shade. Good variety of balls and toys for Yona to play with. After playing, the water trough was welcome for Yona to cool down. Great spot to go off leash and allow Yona to run and play without worry of other dogs. We will be back!Chris C.

55This was my first time ever going to a sniff spot and we loved it! I’m not sure who loved it more Willow or me lol. Host was very kind and it is such a beautiful and large place for your fur baby to play! I loved how she put out water, chairs, and even balls. There are animals in a separate area that you can see and Willow loved watching them 😂she also loved the ball launcher ! Can’t wait to come back and this time bring the hubby! 10/10 experience.

FAQ About Smithfield 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. 12% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Smithfield 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 243 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 360 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.
