55We frequent this sniffspot as it is close to home and well taken care of. SO much space for the doggos to explore. The host is super accommodating and friendly. I always enjoy chatting with her.
The only down side is we have a reactive dog that doesn't care for the farm equipment or trucks that drive by from time to time. In addition, target practice going on in the distance. (This does not happen every time). If your pups are usually fine with these things you'll have a great time. On days we don't experience these things our reactive dog does really great. 5 stars all the way. Mallory G.

55Cleo loved Hot Diggity Dog Retreat! We spent the hour exploring the pond and the woods around it. Although beyond the fenced area, it’s secluded and private and well contained. I didn’t worry at all about her.
She loved sniffing through the woods, and found a creek that she especially liked. Perhaps it was the baby deer that she found along it and then chased? (I’ve never heard a deer screech before - luckily, she didn’t get it).
The grassed area around the one side of the pond is lush and green and provided a nice open area for her to run. I’m pretty sure she figured out how to circle the entire pond- even through the wooded areas.
The site is very clean and well kept, and did not disappoint. I only wish it were closer so we could go more often!

5510/10 a perfect destination for you and your pups to explore and use there sniffers. Immediately alone entering the fenced in yard both our dogs took off! They had the wind blowing in their hair with huge smiles on their faces. Which in return gave us smiles. The property is well taken care of and the host was very attentive and responsive when I had questions. We will definitely treat ourselves again. Thank you! Mallory G.

55We had such a good time this morning. The fenced in area was great for lots of rounds of fetch with both dogs. After we played in the fenced area, I took the dogs to the pond area. One explored safely off-lead while his more impulsive brother took in the sites and smells on-lead. We will definitely be back and hopefully have time to stop at the store afterwards! Heather B.

55Excellent property! This is hands down the best sniffspot in the area. You can tell the owners take exceptional care of the grounds. The pond is one of the cleanest that I have ever seen on a private property. We didn't use the gated play area but it looked amazing. Unfortunately we were unaware of deer hunting season but we can't wait to explore the trails once that ends. Thank you for giving my dogs the opportunity to play like royalty! Bobbi P.

FAQ About Gold Hill 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. 11% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Gold Hill 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 371 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 615 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
