55Very nice spot with sun, shade, and water! The meadow was fun to explore and great for practicing recalls. Deborah was so sweet and has thought of everything! Chairs, hammock, water, towels, etc. Autumn S.

55Amazing place & I highly recommend it. As a new dog owner, I had no idea how my dog would react to the place or behave. He absolutely loved it. He easily understood the mowed areas of the meadow & took to everything right away. The wooded & creek is fun too. We stayed on the leash for that part & it was still a great experience. The property is kept clean & Deborah kindly has water, toys, & bowls for visitors to use. I can’t wait to take my dog back here again. Monica W.

55We had a great time! The chairs, water, and toys were much appreciated. The paths through the field were also fun to practice recall / play hide and seek with our shepherd.Alexa H.

55This was the second time I have been to this Sniffspot and it does not disappoint. I must remember to book two hours next time if that's possible, so we can enjoy the trails too. It's lovely out there! Also, the owner could not make the space more welcoming, they have everything you could need by the table outside the shed. Really grateful for the owner sharing this space.Holly K.

55Location was exactly as described and detailed instructions provided upon booking. Beautiful property, completely fenced-in prairie portion. Plenty of dog toys, water bottles, towels, etc. at the shelter shed closer to the stream. Will definitely be booking again for our energetic pup!Allan M.

55Excellent location. Fence was secure (very small dogs would need to be watched a bit in areas) and we had a great time running on the property. Nice amenities with water for pooches and people. Baby wipes, big spray all available. Plenty of spots to stop and sit. Grassy paths through meadow.
We will definitely be back!Carrie C.

55Third visit, and this spot never disappoints. Deborah keeps adding to it, making it even better (the hammock specifically was new since our last visit) and Otis has a fantastic time running around. Absolutely wonderful. Allison H.

55We had a fantastic time here! The meadow offered plenty of room to run and sniff - much more enriching than a dog park or regular grass lawn. The fencing was tall and secure. There were chairs, some dog toys, water, bags, and even a towel available for use. There was easy access to the stream behind the meadow and my pup loved wading in it. A barn cat came up to greet us when we parked but did not follow us. It did not approach our pup but just worth knowing if your dog is not cat friendly. We definitely plan to come back!Ellen H.

55This is a lovely spot! My two dogs loved it. I was a little nervous because I haven’t taken my dogs off leash before on private land. This spot was just the right size, enough room for them to run and have a great time but I could keep track of them. The fence was well maintained and even though my one dog is only 10 pounds I didn’t see any spots that were a concern for her getting through.Rita G.

55We had a great time! Fully fenced in, clean outdoor area with chairs, towels and toys. Plenty of space and areas for the dogs to explore with the option to go down to the creek. We skipped since it was cold, muddy & water was high/fast but it was a pretty backdrop to the play area. Highly recommend!Erin B.

FAQ about our West Jefferson 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the West Jefferson 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 136 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 18 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.
