55Nice large field for the dogs to run around in. I have large dogs so the fence was secure for them, lots to sniff and lots of room for frisbee. It was a little overwhelming for my dogs at first, so next time i might leave them on leash to do some more training. Host was very accommodating and available if we had any problems, which I did not! I wish there was a sniffspot sign on the entrance to the field, but really it was not difficult to find!Megan B.

55very nice large amount of land to let your dogs run around in. it was well maintained pasture. It is a lot of open grass so just be aware of things like ticks and wildlife poop. we had a very fun time running around and just letting my dogs sniff. both of my dogs have great recall but we always choose to keep them on long lines. I didn’t observe the fence very well but I wouldn’t recommend any sniff spot you go to let your dog off leash without a solid recall anyway. very scenic drive there as well. beautiful place to relax my dogs were worn out just from sniffing and walking around after 30 minutes. owner was quick to respond to questions I had and made sure we had a great experience! it’s a bit of a drive here for us but we hope to go back as it’s one of the more spacious sniff spots in the area! beck s.

FAQ About Shelbyville 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.
