My dog loved Ranch Dog Ranch! Ian was very welcoming and gave us a mini tour upon arriving. The wide open space gave my dog lots of room to run around and explore new scents. He truly had a blast!

I took Bella to sniff spot today she’s a Belgian malinois , she is very high energy and she had a blast she must’ve ran around the property three times or four checking everything out chasing squirrels smelling everything she could smell it definitely was the highlight of her day and mine too. The owner Ian is super nice and friendly , he is a true animal lover and i am so happy i found a place where my dog can run free and unleashed without having to worry about her safety. Thank you sooo much! We will definitely be back.🐾👍🐶

Niall had a wonderful time running to his heart’s content in this mown field of several acres. Ian, the host, was prompt, friendly and provided both water and shade. We’ll be back for sure.

My pups had so much fun at Ian's spot! Right away they were chasing squirrels and sniffing up the gopher hideouts. The field is a great space for them to run and me to walk around and get some lunges in also. Ian had water for the dogs and some toys as well. Fencing is secure and his dogs and horses were safely locked away. We will definitely be back!

Ileen’s place is fun and safe. My dogs loved running through the grove and looking at the other animals nearby. We look forward to going back soon.

A fun time was had by us and our two dachshunds at Ileen's spot. Comms re: access/parking were smooth and the property was easy to find. The spot had lots of space and interesting nooks and crannies for our dogs to explore. There are multiple animals on property such as birds, cats and dogs but all were kept indoors or in another fenced-in area not accessible by the main sniffspot. There was a good mix of grass, dirt and graveled areas for variety of terrain for the dogs to check out. Ileen was thoughtful of our visit and had snacks & water for us and the doggos, as well as sanitizer and extra dog bags if we needed them. It was a mellow vist and our hour went quickly. The area is spread out nicely and the majority of the space is far enough away from the home so as not to feel like we were infringing on personal space. Looking forward to another visit soon!

This is a big yard with secure fencing. There are a variety of surfaces for the dogs to run on. There are some shaded areas. Ileen is an excellent host with excellent communication. She left us some fresh water and treats and a few other amenities like snacks and water for the humans.

Ileen's Sniffspot was everything I wanted for my 2 large rambunctious puppies! Ileen was an excellent communicator, very friendly, and thoughtful as she had put out dog water bowls for each of my dogs, along with other amenities. The property is large with plenty of space for the dogs to run around. And it's all securely fenced in, I felt safe letting my dogs off leash. There's a nice sitting area as well. The whole visit was easy and smooth. I will definitely be going back. Thanks so much!

My boxer and I had an amazing time here! Nice backyard space with lots of things for my girl to sniff and explore. Elisa was a very thoughtful and accommodating host. We will be back!

Easy to find location with a friendly and accommodating host. Lots of things to sniff and places to hide in this spacious and safe backyard. There was a lovely fountain that Elisa confirmed my dog could drink from. My pup loved sniffing all the plants and running around playing. We were able to do some training as there are few distractions. There were dogs on two neighboring yards who came out for a few minutes at a time, which provided a good medium level of distraction to train my dog to focus on me. There was nothing hazardous for me to worry about my 13 month old getting into, my pup had fun (which means I had fun) and is tired. It always improves our bond to be able to have good experiences at Sniffspots together. Thanks and cheers to the host!

We had a fantastic time at this garden! There were big trees, a fountain for the dogs to drink from, and a variety of dog toys! The yard was very secure. It was peaceful and lovely, with lots of plants. As described in the listing, there were dogs in the neighboring yards that were out for short periods f time. My dog loved the friendly dog behind the back fence! We will be returning.

Super friendly and accommodating host. Spacious play area with multiple levels that my dog loved running around on and jumping off of. Spot is secure with butterflies and trees and little bushes for sniffing and exploring. Plenty of places to sit and relax.
