55Just the most darling little yard. PERFECT for off-leash puppy training. Also, the landscaping offers enrichment opportunities unlike a large field. I would have used this gem when my babies were small almost daily. Unfortunately, my boys are bigger and were looking forward to the park and a good run, and this space was too small. Very lovely though. Laurie C.

55The space is great. I didn't expect water and toys to be made available. Much appreciated Tyler securing his dog. My dogs don't do well with super high energy dogs. I am always looking for secure, safe locations for my dogs to let go and enjoy themselves. I highly recommend Sam's Farm. Laurie C.

55What an amazing Sniffspot!! The space itself is absolutely blissful for both us and our pup- but the host makes it so great with all of the accommodations. Out dog always feared water, but she laid down in the stream for a little while to cool off and it was so precious to see her enjoying herself. We will definitely be back!! Gabrielle A.

55So beautiful and the host went above and beyond to make our visit fun and comfortable. She provided us with our own towel, treats and toys. She opened up the pool for us and our dog was in heaven! Plenty of shady spots to sit and watch our dog have the time of his life. I highly recommend. We will definitely be back regularly.Tracie T.

55Well - this spot is amazing.
Absolutely beautiful, clean, super thoughtful space. M is obviously a dog-lover, gardening master and careful hostess. She knows how to make both dogs and their humans feel at home. The dogs have lots of nooks and crannies to explore- they love the creek! I seriously could go on and on - we played hide and seek with dogs around the little paths in back - so sweet and fun. We will be back! Thanks so much for being so welcoming!!Jennifer T.

FAQ about our Locust Grove 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Locust Grove 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 159 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 28 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
