55This is an amazing spot that we will use again and again! The trails are wonderful and well kept, and the parking is super easy. You can roam around on a variety of trails, and there is a large open stretch that was perfect for the Chuck-It. Other than nature, you won’t see any animals or humans. Perfect for a reactive dog. It’s also set back from a not-busy road and I had no worries of Heidi wandering out there. The host is great with communication, too. My German Shepherd was GASSED after an hour, she had the best time there. I accidentally left my leash on the ground when we left, and when I came back they had it for me! Thanks so much! Mandi G.

55Just what we needed! Can't wait to come back again!
We visited after a brief streak of rainy days, so it was a little muddy, but not bad. The trails were well maintained. You can choose a variety of turns or loops to make a longer hike or avoid mud puddles. They are also wide enough for me to comfortably fit with 3 dogs.
Even in late December, the grass and brush along the trails reduced visibility so the dogs didn't wander off the path far. There are burrs so beware with long haired dogs. Flea and tick prevention is a must. Also, I highly recommend a bug repellent for yourself.
Naturally, there was random wildlife scat, so it's helpful if your dog knows 'leave it'. We had plenty of opportunities to practice some of our other training as well.
We were there to hike/walk, so we didn't stop to play fetch with the Chuck-It this time, but there was plenty of space on the trails and open areas near the house to do so.
The host was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, it was an absolutely lovely day!Joey T.

55Great spot out from the city! The yard was very spacious and pretty much freshly mowed when I came. There's a large tree (or 2 trees) that nicely shaded the whole middle of the yard at the time I visited in late afternoon.
The yard is securely fenced and there were very little distractions when I went.
Seth was very responsive to any messages I sent as well. Connie F.

55Seth was super responsive and greeted us when we arrived. This was our first time using any Sniffspot and we will definitely be repeat customers. He gave us a little rundown of where things were and then we were off. A water bowl and hose were provided as well as disposal for #2 bags. The dogs loved running free and exploring the perimeter of the very secure fence! Anna M.

55The property was nice and the upkeep was nice. Nothing was over grown or dirty. He even had a bucket to put the poop bags so that I didn’t have to take them home with me in my car.Danae B.

55Nice area. Really good size, able to throw ball a long way and my dog got good exercise chasing it. Host provided a bowl of water. But if your dog drinks a lot, suggest bringing your own water source. I have a large dog, so I brought a 2.5 gallon plastic jug and plastic container to put it in.Susan S.

55This is one of our "go to" spots for our dogs. There is plenty of room for them to run as well as interesting features and "sniffing" areas. The fence is secure and the area is well maintained and clean. Definitely a winner.Christine R.

55It is a lovely property with lots of fun things for my doggos to sniff and explore. They especially enjoyed the goat noises across the way and the slide. 10/10 would recommend this property for anyone with pups who want to run around and chase their curiosities.Sydney C.

55Plenty of space for my dogs to run and sniff. We see a goat next door occasionally and that keeps their attention. Availability of this spot is excellent. Thanks Seth!Christine R.

FAQ about our Mount Gilead 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.
