55This spot is perfect for us! It is entirely fenced in (I've walked the perimeter), it's affordable, and there's plenty of room to run around. We don't have a yard, so being able to let them run around makes my heart happy! It's a great neutral space for introducing dogs to each other as well!Michelle V.

55My bloodhound mix absolutely LOVED this place! Lots of open space for her to run, but still plenty of interesting things for her to sniff. She was so happy that she didn't want to leave, so we'll definitely be coming back soon!Gretchen C.

55The park was great. Nice and secluded and ideal for playtime with my 9 year old reactive pitbull/staffy. We will be back when the weather gets cooler, we only lasted about 10 min in the heat.Jell K.

55First time using sniff spot. Great place!
My dog is dog reactive, so it worked out great that we didn’t run into other dogs there. The dogs barking from the kennels made him slightly nervous when we got there, but he got used to it fast and I think was actually good for him.
Overall good experience. Steve S.

55A+ host and beautiful property for us and our dogs to enjoy! Loved getting farm fresh eggs, too. Exploring the forested areas, letting the dogs swim in the pond, and enjoying the trails was a great trip outside of the city. Suzanne was incredibly pleasant and keeps a wonderful and beautiful property! The horses were cool, too and were curious about us. Would come again for sure! Lindsay M.

55Great place and it was nice that it was fully fenced for high energy pups! A little far for me, but was worth the last minute booking so my dogs could run around freely for a few hours. They needed it and were tired for the rest of the day.Kathy W.
