55This spot is always fun and interesting for Lucy. I think I am going to make this our permanent spot. It’s a little far for me, but it’s worth it. Lucy tends to want to leave a spot almost as soon as we get there, and she doesn’t do that here, which makes me very happy! Just a word to those who bring their own tennis balls, bring more than one! We lost ours in the beautiful bushes in the center of the yard, and I didn’t want to trample through them to find it. I will be brining plenty of tennis balls next time!holly K.

55The space was so fun for my dog to explore, with different little areas throughout offering different smells and sounds. Easy access all around, from arriving to parking to the yard itself. Yard was clean and completely enclosed. I felt safe letting my dog run freely and he had an absolute ball. Joanna E.

55Fantastic spot! Beautiful property with lots of room for running and playing (and, for one of our dogs, a dip in a large natural pond). Looking forward to return visits.Andrew E.

55Nice space with secure fence. Back portion is tall chain link with very thoughtful addition of fabric/screen over it to keep your visit private. Fun different areas to explore throughout yard. My kids enjoyed watching the goldfish ponds.
Easy access straight from driveway into yard. Carrie C.

55Just what we needed to wear our puppy out today. Privacy fence all the way around. We could hear (but not see) people, animals, some construction, and even a train close by which was good as we are trying to desensitize him to new sounds. He is shy to new things and felt plenty safe enough to run around and play. Vincent B.

55This is my second visit to this spot. I really love that the host does not bother us at all. Melanie has the gate already opened when we get there so we don’t see her, and it’s nice to be able to have fun and leave. I don’t have to worry about meet and greet because that does shave off time. There is always fresh water for my dog and a bucket to dispose of poo. I personally bring my own dog bags just to be respectful. I need to come back when it isn’t so hot, because Lucy loves it. The fencing is secure and there are plenty of places to hide from your dog. My Lucy loves when I hade and she has to find me.holly K.

55This spot is so lovely, private, & spacious!!! It was such an easy & relaxed entry to the backyard which helped my sensitive boy. Manny was ready to play fetch & investigate!!! It was nice having the trees for shade, a must have for a Boston when it's hot. 🐾 The pond may be enticing to a curious pup. Mr. Manuel was proud to show Momma he's part piggy lol. Thankfully Melanie has a hose if needed, among other doggie essentials you may also need, and gives you great info & instructions! 🐶 She is an awesome host!!Emily G.

55I drove for 40 minutes and it was so scenic and peaceful. I loved that I was able to just go in the gate and start playing with my girl. It was so amazing and so worth the ride. I would absolutely do this again, and again! Thank you Melanie for sharing this beautiful land!holly K.

55found this spot on a cross country drive and was able to get in for a morning visit, and I am sooo glad I did!!! Melanie’s yard is absolutely incredible! I’ve been to different sniffspots around the country and this one tops the list. Super clean, lots to sniff and explore, and so much space for the dogs to run (and I mean, sprint!!). I wish I lived in the area so I could come back more often. I cannot recommend this spot enough!!Amie F.

FAQ About Ashley 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.
