55We just had the BEST time at this sniffspot! I have two happy, exhausted pups after running nonstop for over an hour. The field is securely fenced, has nice grass, and is clean. There was no poop left behind by other visitors (there is a pooper scooper and waste can). I was also pleased that there were no foxtails on the field or anything that I needed to worry about the dogs getting into. There are other yards with dogs on either side, although the yards are well separated so they are not directly on the other side of the fence. One set of dogs barked at us a few times, so my dogs ran up and down the fence line with them, but then the other dogs just lost interest and walked away. Goats and chickens and horses were around (in other yards also well-separated from the fence line), but they didnt show any interest in us at all. The directions to get into the area were perfect and alleviated any trepidation about going to an unknown new place. I am SO excited to have found this spot and I will be reserving time regularly. My dogs’ lives just got so much more fun than before I found Sniffspot!Kerry L.

55We are so happy to have found this wonderful place! Our pup had such an amazing time, had good privacy, and everything was communicated perfectly by the owner. We are also driving from elk grove as many of the others are, and will be back here very often! Thank you so much for sharing your space, seeing our pup’s happiness means the world to us. Mary V.

55Stacy give perfect, clear instructions and when we drove up we were thrilled. It was safe and secure, and best of all it was a wide open area with green grass. Our dogs were thrilled but I was so excited about taking them there that I failed to keep in mind that it would be hot. So the kids didn't play much but were still able to explore a bit. But we definitely plan on scheduling another visit very soon but for the morning when it's cooler. Thank you so much Stacy for letting us visit.Teresa P.

55The host is incredibly gracious and informative. The large landscaped green grass is perfect. However, one of my dogs is very reactive to other animals. Approaching the gate their are very large goats that immediately got her attention. There are neighbors dogs on both sides of landscaped fenced area that are visible running and barking along their fence line. Unfortunately another trigger for my reactive girl. Chickens and roosters although in coop are still visible. My one bulldog had an AMMMMAZING time. My other reactive girl was a mess. To no fault of the home owner. This beautiful area is definitely great for happy go lucky dogs with no reactive issues. I just want other owners whom have very reactive dogs to get a full understanding of the environment.

55We had a blast here! Beautiful well kept grassy field, very clean too with a trash bin located just outside the field. The field is enclosed by a secure fence and there was plenty of shade on the back end of it. We brought a couple of camping chairs, a dog bowl and some toys for our pup. He absolutely loved it. We got to use some of the equipment as well, he jumped some hurdles for the first time too! There’s a hose for water and some other agility/training equipment that we didn’t get to, maybe next time! The instructions to get there were really clear and we didn’t see anyone on the property - had lots of privacy. There were some neighbors we saw in the distance but it was a very quiet and peaceful area. Saw one husky/malamute dog that belongs to one of the neighbors but he didn’t make a peep! I will say that one of the neighbors has a Confederate flag hanging from their back porch which is visible from the field, but there’s not much the host’s can do about that and we just did our best to ignore it. Definitely will come back and can’t wait!Arielle D.

55My husband and I are so happy we found this place. 😊 What a BEAUTIFUL and safe property that was fully fenced. Everything was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!!! We took our big white Italian Maremma (who used to be a working livestock guardian dog) and our sheltie. Even though it was an hour drive from our home, it was so worth it. We can't wait to go back and take our other 2 little dogs too. It's like our own big dog park all for ourselves. 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 Our dogs have been sound asleep since we got home. 💕💕 Julie F.

55Still our favorite Sniffspot. It's perfect for our 2 GSDs. Easy to access, the grass is always green, and gates/fencing are always secure (we walk the perimeter first thing). We appreciate that it's still available, and it's worth every penny. Our whole family thanks you!!Kristin C.

55I have a big backyard but to add variety i use sniffspot. My 8 month old loved this area. She loves rolling in grass. She gets the zoomies and this provides an area that is very open and very little chance ( if any) of running into anything. The chickens, horses, and goats in the distance were intriguing too. On a hot summer day i would book in the morning. I am grateful for this spot. I regret the only pic i have is Tilly snoring in the car after playing here.Kristin R.

55This was a GREAT spot for our pupper! The host’s directions and instructions were very thorough and helpful, especially for us first-timers. There was soo much room for our dog to run around, sniff, and sun bathe. We highly recommend this spot and very likely to visit again. Rachel D.

55We had a great experince for our first sniff spot! My three dogs loved the space. I liked how the dog area was separated from the neighbors’ fences, however their dogs were visible. At first I became worried it would trigger my dogs but it was actually good to expose them to other dogs and animals and took advantage for some training. One of my dogs is a jumper and she could’ve easily jumped the fence but we were able to manage. We’ll be back soon! Cecilia O.

55This spot is just like having your own private dog park. Just as a heads up you will be able to see the neighbors' dogs and on one side they did run along the fence with my dog. Stacy H.

55Beautiful and peaceful place for my boxer to run stress free and get her zoomies out. We have visited enough times now that she starts to whine with excitement when we turn on the road to get there! This is a great spot for her blind sidekick as well, flat wide open space with nothing to run into. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing space, our dogs with special needs appreciate it and so do their people! Christina C.

55Just a great spot to take your pups.
Lots of room for them to run wild and free. Stacy does a great job on maintaining the property. I’m really great full that she is able to make the space available for people like me that have pups with behavioral issues🙏🏼😂. I drive in from Elk Grove and it’s worth the trip.

FAQ about our Lockeford dog parks
