Grassy yard, fully fenced, no owner pets present. | Sniffspot
55Perfect sized yard for my boy. He did a lot of sniffing, investigating, running and laying in the grass. The grass was a bit long but we have had some crappy, rainy weather. The yard was not muddy at all which was great! There were pups on both sides of the fence. One was quiet but the other did bark a bit as we were leaving. Nothing excessive and didn’t cause a distraction. We went in the last afternoon/early evening so the sun wasn’t beating down on us and we were able to stand closer to the house where there was some shade. I’m not sure if there is shaded space if a visit is made during early afternoon. The yard was clean and there is a trash bucket on the way out as stated in the description. I wound up taking the waste bag with me to dispose of at home because I don’t throw loose garbage in my own roll cart and wouldn’t do that to someone else’s. Definitely a great spot to let your pup off leash!Linda G.

55This place has been a life saver for us. Our pup, Hank, is what you could call…..difficult. But he is the love of our lives. With him being highly reactive and not all the way through his training yet, it’s impossible for us to take him anywhere public off leash. This property is perfect. It has everything. Just enough space to get a good, hard run in. But not so big you lose him and have to search. The owner has worked really hard on making the property a fun place for our dog and for us. She has gone above and beyond to accommodate us and has always been an absolute hero during the times we are desperate to get rid of some energy. I love bringing Hank here. Hank loves coming here. He may be an asshole, but he is our asshole and the owner welcomes him with open arms. You can’t ask for more than that. Ellen B.

55No dogs or people seen from this spot. Great communication from host. My dog loved exploring the land, sticking her nose into every little nook and cranny. I once went here before and left a two star review but would like to take it back and don’t know how. Please disregard! I would recommend messaging this host (and any other host) prior to booking to make sure that they are aware that you’ve booked, especially if you reserve on short notice. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property. Amanda K.

55This has been a game changer for our pup and for us! Hank had so much fun here! He is a highly reactive shar pei/pit mix. He is incredibly sweet with huge personality, but we are unable to take him to public dog parks without it just draining him AND us emotionally and physically. He has suffered and we were hopeless at thinking we could give him what he needs. But now we have this. Seeing him run as hard as he could with that big goofy smile almost brought us to tears. We have so much hope and excitement now for our future with Hank. THANK YOU for having such an amazing place for the Hankster to get his energy out. Ellen B.

55We took our girl for her last walk before she crosses the rainbow bridge and it was wonderful. The property was beautiful. It started raining when we got there and Darren even brought out an umbrella and checked in with us throughout our stay. Briawna L.

55Our dogs loved the pond! Lots of big open spaces for Zoomies too :) We did see a cat by the house as entered the area which would have been quite a scene of our dogs would have spotted it! Thankfully they ran straight to the field! Beautiful space and loved that it was mostly fenced in. Polly C.

FAQ About Columbia 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. 39% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Columbia area are 5 stars.

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.
