55We love drives out to the country with our dogs and this is a nice one! Wendy’s place is perfect for wide-open running and lizard hunting too! The shade trees are spaced throughout the property which is nice. While well-fenced, I tend to think this spot is currently best for medium and large dogs - not so much little ones or puppies. Our dogs used their own ice water and poop bags. Thanks to Wendy for sharing her lovely property, we look forward to visiting again!Meredith K.

55My dogs loved to run around the trail area and look at the sheep in the nearby field. The property was well kept with lots of cooler shady areas. My dogs also loved to lay in the water troughs to cool off after each lap. Definitely worth the drive from Jax to give the dogs a large area to run around!Rachel P.

55We had a wonderful morning at this fantastic SniffSpot! Very safely fenced, Host even showed us around the property in an UTV to show us the security of the property. His livestock and livestock guardian dog are visible but a) a safe distance away (only visible at front of property) and b) safely contained. Host was helpful and answered any questions we had. We will be back. Our dogs loved exploring the trails. If you have dogs that like to run like us, we recommend getting a bell to attach to your collar as it is densely wooded in spots, gave anxious owners like us peace of mind! Gabrielle L.

55This spot was perfect for both humans and doggies. There’s wonderful, restful spots for the humans and lots of things to sniff and places to hide and run for the doggies. We had been looking for a place where we could go on trails with our dogs and this one fit that bill and then some! The host is super friendly and informative, and we will return to this spot soon!

55Angie’s spot is amazing!! We were so excited to return on this visit since moving away from Jax. The pups loved sniffing and exploring the huge property, and my one girl loved chasing her ball with the chuckit! We recently adopted a new dog and met an old friend here, and Angie had a kennel on the property which was super helpful for introducing and rotating the pups. Plenty of toys, water, and fun available!Anthony and Megan A.

55This is a beautiful spot and I could tell the host put a lot of thought into how to make visits easy, effortless, and fun for both dogs and owners. Lots of toys, space, water, music, shade, and seating. There is also a spot for doggy baths if needed. This was a perfect visit. We will be back. Pam R.

55My dog had a great time! The yard is large, well-fenced, and quite clean. My dog is dog-aggressive, and while the owners have dogs, they took steps to keep them out of eyesight so my dog was never concerned. This is our first time using SniffSpot and I can’t believe it’s taken us so long to give it a try. We will certainly be back, and I would strongly recommend! The added hose for dog water, and the little trash can by the entry/exit were nice touches too!Lindsey A.

55Property was amazing. Huge. Clean. Lots of toys for the pups. My Brodie likes to play with other dogs so the neighbors dogs became friends with him and they chased each other up and down the fence line. Very pleasant spot for dog or adult. Will be back. He just loves those pups next doorShayla B.

FAQ about our Hilliard 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.
