55Lovely property and the best place to bring a doggo. We so enjoyed meandering around on the trails and letting our dog sniff around. Jeannie was so kind to meet us and show us the property, and we felt right at home. Our sweet boy was exhausted after his hour on the farm. We will be back! Katie K.

55First time using SniffSpot and could not have picked a better place. My dog (and I) had a great time. Jeannie met us when we arrived to familiarize us with the property, pointing out the boundaries and some of the interesting places to explore. She also has water and poop bags available (and toys too but my dog is not into toys). There are trails cut into a field with lots of interesting smells, a stand of pine trees with some squirrels to sniff and try to chase, and two clean ponds. We took advantage of all it and she loved it. I went home with a very tired and happy dog. The property itself is not fenced but is in a relatively remote area with a dirt road to access. My dog has a reasonable recall, and is used to being off leash and I wasn't worried at all. Definitely recommend and hope to visit again. Emily D.

55Beautiful property with a great amount of space and walking paths! Owners made it an amazing experience as my GSD has a very high prey drive so I informed them of it. They went above and beyond to shelter their chickens and so I didn’t have to worry about him being off leash. They took an extra step and were very considerate! Christopher E.

55Beckham and I loved our visit today. It was very peaceful and almost a mini vacation. We but an hour and a half day and I definitely feel like the next time I would book for 2 hours it was so much fun. Lots of areas to sniff and Beckham swam in 2 big ponds and loved chasing the fish. We were also extremely comfortable knowing there were no alligators as well. We will definitely be back.Lisa G.

55First Sniffspot visit and absolutely loved it. Our host met us at the gate and walked us through her space. Our visit was 1.5 hours and I wished that I would have stayed longer. The lake and walking trails were wonderful. It was very peaceful and my dog had so much fun exploring around and playing in the water freely. Lourdes R.

55Very nice and hospitable. The ponds are great for the warmer months, my pup doesn’t last long with heat, however with the water and nearby shade we could have added on another couple of hours and he’d have loved it. Found an escaped female lab on the road after leaving, scooped her up and Jeannie helped return her to her home. An eventful first Sniffspot adventure! (Now back to getting all the burrs and sticks outta Culper’s feathers- a constant cost of his beauty this time of year). Koy M.

So many cool things to see, smell and a lot of places to wander and explore. The paths are easy to follow and cleared nicely and you may even run into some wildlife while out there. We saw deer!
The host is awesome and accommodating, and site has everything needed for dogs to have fun.
We’ll be back!!Sara L.

55Absolutely delightful!! Our dogs had a magical time. The owners came out and chatted with us and were just so kind and helpful. The property is BEAUTIFUL and the dogs loved the pond! Very well kept walking paths. We got to see a few baby goats, and we didn't encounter any chickens but they did give us a heads up just in case. We will DEFINITELY be back, it was even better than expected!Ryan B.

FAQ About Johns Island 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.
