55Always a great place to visit! Lots to sniff and Brandy is very accommodating. If your dog has a high prey drive and is agile
They may escape and there is corn surrounding the property so come prepared!Taylor Z.

55Another fun morning at our favorite Sniff Spot. Today we had a friend join us.. a 6 1/2 month old puppy who got to run for the first time. Guessing we'll have 2 tired pups this afternoon. Laurie M.

55This is a great place with a nice big area for dogs to explore. Our dogs were very intrigued by the chicks, who were safely tucked away in a stall from curious snoots lol. Brandy left out a bowl of water for our pups (and a drink for us humans, which was a sweet touch), and if you need to refill it, there’s a water pump to do so. It’s quiet and peaceful too. One of our quirky rescue dogs can be very reactive to dogs she doesn’t know, so a spot like this is a perfect alternative to a dog park. We will definitely be back for more sniffing and exploring. ☺️Stephanie S.

55Always a great place! If your dogs are hunters they may find the chicks/ducks and be fixated on them. If your dogs need a lot of shade make sure to go early or late! Taylor Z.

55This is our new favorite Sniff Spot! Great space for our GSP to run and run and chase birds. Loved the cut out grass paths to walk through the field.
We'll definitely be back! Laurie M.

55Had a great time sniffing and running. This host is so great, she left out water and toys for us. The cattle fencing does have gaps/holes in some areas so make sure your dogs have good recall. I kept my bad listener on a 30 ft lead and he had a great time as well as the good listeners 🤣. Great way to tire them out for the day! Kim M.

55Beautiful as always! No wind this time! Very quiet & calm, grass is free from poop. I brought along a guest with small paws and the pasture grass was a little rough for her feet. Host left out water and was highly responsive. Taylor Z.

55Superb sniff spot! The space was clean, well-maintained, and freshly mowed, with fun and adventurous areas for the dogs to explore. Our smaller dog was tempted to slip under the fence in a few spots, just as noted in the details—so we appreciated the heads-up! One of our pups had a blast playing with the tug rope, and while our long-haired dogs did pick up a few burrs, it didn’t take away from the experience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. It’s so kind that this beautiful property is shared for this purpose—thank you!

55Another great time at the farm! The pups had a nice time romping and smelling after being cooped up with all this cold weather. Brandy's a great host and her place is the best! Mandi S.

FAQ About Sycamore 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.
