55This was our first Sniffspot experience, and it didn’t disappoint! The homeowner met me when we arrived and gave me a map. It’s a beautiful property with trails and woods. We didn’t see any other dogs or people (except for a beekeeper). My dogs loved all the sniffs! Liz B.

55Absolutely exceptional experience! We somehow managed to get the whole place to ourselves for 1.5 hours. The hosts were extremely friendly and gave a warm welcome. We live in an apartment and our 3 dogs are so cooped up, so this was a heavenly experience for everyone. I can’t wait to go back for longer! Paige S.

55We love this Sniffspot! They were very helpful and even provided a map so I could keep track of where we were the whole time. Everything was clearly marked and there were trails that had been mowed down to make it easier to walk around. You really do have almost full access to everywhere on site, with few exceptions. It was clear they take a lot of care with this Sniffspot and we will definitely be back! I do recommend making sure you have tick/bug preventative and supplies on hand due to the fact this is a rural area but nothing terrible and even my more timid dog has zero problems while here.

55This spot was unbelievable. You have 44 acres to roam around in, there's creeks and forests, wooded areas, resting areas, anything one could want for themselves or their dog.
I brought one of my dogs, Moose a goldador.
I wanted to make sure he got to see the creek as he's somewhat of a timid dog and I'm wanting him to have new experiences. The creek was wonderful, cool and very, very peaceful. However my dog had no clue what he was supposed to do. He stood there looking at me like "well, it's water".
I told him he wasn't being very grateful and he just looked at me and smiled. I told him next time I'm bringing his brother Charlie.
This is a wonderful Sniffspot. The host was very pleasant and helpful, and there's a wonderful map of the farm. I doubt you could get lost. Why don't you give it a try.Pam P.

FAQ About Decatur 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. 330% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Decatur 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 68 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 165 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
