55What a lovely space! My dogs had an absolute blast exploring, playing, and sniffing. There’s enough space for my tall, 95-pound Shepherd to hit full speed and she surely took advantage! The area is well-kept and Ashley is an A+ host. She left out a towel, doggy bags, and treats for my loves. We will definitely be back!Kate D.

55This property is fabulous! First time visiting today, the host, Jamie, was so very kind, and an absolute pleasure to meet. Beautifully maintained property. Fenced in horse barn in back, where if you are lucky, the horses will come visit with you. Owners can sit under huge shade trees while their pups run to their hearts content. Water bowls everywhere, toys, beds, and Milk Bone treats! Thank you for sharing your property, especially for my Rhodesian Ridgeback - she is forever grateful. Will look forward to our next visit!C S.

55We had a great time at this Sniffspot! Our dog really enjoyed running around and sniffing and then hanging out in the shade. The fence is very secure and the surrounding neighborhood is pretty quiet. There’s a few chairs in the shade you can hang out while your dog is having the time of their life. Highly recommend!Erica C.

55A beautiful large space with lots of room for my pup to run, lots of smells, had horses in the back (he wanted to play with them haha). Had seating for me and water out for my pup. Jamie even was so kind to bring my pup dog chews for our long road trip home which was the kindest thing ever!! He didn’t want to leave. If I’m ever back up here- we’ll be back. Thank you Jamie 😊Maya L.

FAQ about our Waxhaw 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.
