55We have a reactive dog and it was nice to have a little hiking trail and place for her to run around w/o worrying about off leash dogs. Our senior dog was also able to keep up and enjoyed the easy trail :)Jaime R.

55Sniffs, sprints and rolls in the leaves. Joey enjoyed her time, even finding another toy to toss around. This is a woodsy spot so keep an eye out for ticks; we found a few during our stay.Jane S.

55Joey loved her sniff time at Cari’s spot today. So much so that she didn’t even want to play with her rope toy, which we left for all to enjoy-haha!Jane S.

55Cari was so accommodating to us when we ran into some traffic on our way to the spot! The dogs especially loved sniffing and running up and down all the hills! They were thoroughly tired after our time at this spot! Highly recommend a strong recall as the space is pretty large.Shannon Y.

55This was a great woodsy experience. There was a wide trail-type path that went down into a very woodsy area. It is somewhat steep once the trail ends but it was a blast to see our dog exploring with no cares in the world. Great spot for a dog that loves scent work. Nadia B.

55Joey absolutely loves this spot. She gets to roam free and work on her recall while taking in the distraction-free, natural sights & sounds. Extra bonus of the water spigot being next to the parking spot for a quick rinse at the end of the visit!Jane S.

55Unique spot - my dog had a blast zooming around. As host describes, it is unfenced so your dog should have good recall, but it is set back from the road and feels really private. Only downside was there were a lot of little flying bugs. Emma K.

55We had such a great time. The dogs loved the area and ran around up and down like crazy. Cari met us when we got there and showed the path to walk down. There are little stickers but they came off easy once I brushed the dogs. Nikole R.

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.
