55Our very first visit to Captain's Retreat was the absolute BEST! Ranger began immediately to sniff, to explore, to be a dog and have an excellent adventure! Thank you Tiffany for providing a perfect retreat and a new tradition. I've already booked our second visit!! Thank you again for everything - for a relaxing and peaceful start to the weekend; it was wonderful.Candice B.

55Even when it’s raining, you can have a wonderful time. Penny frolicked in the drizzle while we picnicked on the covered deck. Another lovely time at Captain Bear’s. Then we washed her paws with the hose before heading to the car. This park is so well thought out and a delight to visit.Colleen G.

55We had a wonderful time! The place was clean, secure and a doggie paradise! We used the doggie wash to bathe one pup before we left, it was so convenient! Kat C.

55This was my first SniffSpot EVER, and it will be VERY hard to top. My girls loved exploring the woods (be sure your tick prevention is current!), having the pool, shady spots, and a treat at the very end of a wonderful afternoon. I can't recommend this place enough! Alex G.

55My little family had the best time!
My daughter said we went on an adventure 😆
Our dogs loved being off leash and exploring the woods; my daughter loved running with the dogs and playing on the swings.
The goat was very accommodating: there were toys and treats for the dogs, bottle water, various different chairs and hammocks to relax in. Mandi T.

55What an incredible place. Such a beautiful dedication to Tiffany’s dog, Big Sur. My family and I were just passing through on our way back to Asheville. Our dogs had a blast. I wish we were closer. Especially because I am a dog trainer and would love to bring dogs here all the time. Don’t miss out! Book it today, your dogs will love it! Ruff L.

55This was a great spot! My dog and I loved it. So nice to let her and her pup friends wander about knowing they were fenced in. It's like they had a park all to themselves 🤩melissa w.

55My dog Aru was so excited when we arrived, even though we had never been here before.
I silently hoped that our host could hear his joy at being in their beautiful sanctuary.
We will definitely be back. My mom has a Chihuahua/rat terrier mix so I walked the perimeter. It looks secure enough. I will most likely bring her dog too next time.

55First time being here and it was awesome! Me and my pup came with our human friend and pup friend and had the best time!! So many different spots to hangout which I loved because my girl is toy aggressive and instead of just being in one spot near the toy box we had multiple places to choose from!! Extremely relaxing to be able to catch up with friends while your babies play together in a safe environment!
So so thankful to the owners for opening their hearts and yard to be kind and considerate to other animal lovers ! Rip Captain Butler 💕 you have awesome PAWrentsShyanne B.

552nd visit. The park is big enough that we explored areas that we didnt last time. Penny our Great Dane just loves this place. We brought a picnic to enjoy on the covered deck while she frolicked and munched on very delicious fat grass. We are really impressed with the thoughtful entry design which has a gate to a fenced in parking area, and then another gate into the park. Ensure the safety of everyone. We will be coming regularly! Highly recommend! Colleen G.

FAQ About Mocksville 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. 12% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Mocksville 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 313 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 559 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.
