55We visited this spot for my beagle's 14th birthday so he could run off leash. He loved it! Plenty of sniffing for him to do. The trails are easy to navigate even though not all of them are on the map - they all loop back to each other and there are lots of landmarks. It took us about an hour and a half to explore all of the trails at a sniffing beagle's pace. There's plenty of room for multiple dogs to run if you bring friends. My dog does not like water but the river and pond would be great features if your dog likes to swim!
55This place just gets better and better!
55I haven’t been to this spot, which is our favorite spot, for a little bit. David has put even more love and hard work into it! With new trails cleared out and more leveled open space, we could have stayed all day! My boys love to go to the damn to hang in the water but this time when they got there and saw all the space they went nuts zooming around! We spent about 45 minutes just at the damn. Next nice day I’ll bring a comfy chair and just sit there for a couple hours while the dogs zoom around.
55My girls had such an amazing time! So much land to explore! We’ve been back several times and plan to keep coming back since they love this spot so much!
55Love, love, love the work that you have done!! As usual, the girls had a wonderful time and are absolutely exhausted and sleeping. 👍
55We had a great time exploring! We definitely didn’t get to see all the spots so we will have to go back for sure!
55Lovely field. I need to get the lay of the land more. I would like to find the river
55My very first Sniffspot visit and what a treat! David kindly gave me parking instructions, left me a map and off we went to explore. I wanted to be super careful of respecting the property boundaries and think I ended up with a lot left to explore. I read some other reviews of people who didn’t get to the river - that would be me as well this visit! Next time! Lots of wildlife potential so my hunty dogs spent about half the time on long lines while I get a better feel for the property. So very grateful for the generosity that make this great space available.
55David's place was nothing short of awesome!! My pups love it here! Davids communication is great. He kept me apprised of any changes going on (new stuff coming for the pups)! Don't hesitate to go!!!
55Thank you! We couldn’t have asked for a better camping spot! We will return

First time guests use code PUPTOPERF for a $10 discount! Returning renters can use code TRAINYERDOG for a discount too 😉 if you plan on renting regularly consider purchasing a Sniffpass! To access the agility field: Please follow the driveway straight back past the detached garage. There is a gravel road to take you back to the sniffspot. Please park along the fence line of the field in the grass- do NOT park on the gravel road! *If you have never taken agility classes or competed in agility before, please message me and we can set up a time for a private lesson to ensure the safety of you and your dog! Puppies under a year should not be jumping too high or too repeatedly, and the larger pieces of equipment are dangerous for a dog to dismount improperly. And please, no humans on the equipment!* If you move or change the heights of any jumps, please put them back how you found them before you leave! Do not move any of the larger pieces of equipment (weave poles, dogwalk, a-frame, or teeter). AKC Regulation a-frame, teeter, dogwalk, and jumps from Max200. MAD Agility channel weaves. Saloon door style tire and tunnels from Clean Run. Please potty your dogs outside of the agility field! Keep your dogs leashed for safety as it is not fully fenced outside of the agility field and keep your eyes peeled for poison ivy! Please stay out of the neighbor’s property and out of the fenced in yard close to the house. It is low tech back there. There is no electricity or running water. Gates are secured with bungees for now until permanent posts & latches are installed. Please bring water, bug spray, sunscreen, proper footwear, etc. I do my best to keep the field as manicured as possible, but it is the out of doors so nothing is ever perfect! The pine trees provide lovely shade, but they do also provide pinecones and twigs. Give the space a once over to ensure there is nothing pokey on you or your dog’s path! Be nice to the neighbors! And have fun!
