55This is one of my favorite places even though it’s a 50-minute drive. Easy access, always sufficiently mowed, water for dogs, table and bench under a giant oak tree for shade and rest, and this time the seasonal pond still had some water, and the dogs really enjoyed themselves. We’ll be back!Debra M.

55If I could leave 10 stars I would. We had a perfect day today. I brought my one dog last time and he basically just walked around the property sniffing things. It was in autumn, the grass was short and dried as it is everywhere here in the fall and the pond was dry. It's springtime here and it was spectacular. I have two dogs, now, and they loved running through the tall green grass, and the wildflowers were so beautiful. I could tell my new pup was going to be a water dog on our leashed walks along our creek but I longed to take both dogs somewhere to run off leash and play in the water. The pond had the perfect amount of water and, boy, did she love it. My other dog did his wander around the 2 acres of fence lines and checked out any smells while she jumped and played and swam in the pond. I spent a good bit of time sitting at the table under the canopy of a big oak tree when I wasn't down at the pond. No people were around. No livestock or other dogs tempting my dogs at the fence. The property is secure and very clean. Perfect day. Oh, except I ran a little late leaving because my dogs wouldn't get in the truck to go home. I think they were ready to move in! Ha! Susan T.

55Our Sniffspot hosts are very communicative and helpful. This Sniffspot is particularly lovely at the moment as the grass is lush, and the pond is full, Loki loves taking a dip!Lisa L.

55This was our first sniffspot and we absolutely loved it! It was an hour drive but definitely worth it. My girl is not ball driven but she loves to explore and run off leash which she doesn’t get to do very often. This was the perfect place for us. Will be back soon!Ashley C.

55Great communication and a great space to spend an hour running and exploring! My husband and I had a little picnic under the tree while the girls ran and sniffed around. Our oldest just sat down and didn’t want to get back in the car when it was time to leave!Eduina A.

55The property was very clean. The host greeted us at the gate. There was water available, a bench and table in the shade. Safe, secure wire fencing all around. They have dogs and requested we text shortly before arrival so she could put the dogs up. We didn't see any dogs, livestock or people during our visit. Susan T.

55Thank you for allowing my puppers to roam and enjoy your spot. Great hosts. Good and communication. We love that it’s huge and plenty of space. My pups loved all the farm animals. Side notes…we know it’s huge so there were so many poop that may have not gotten picked up. Just had to watch we’re stepping. There’s a small chicken coop that housed little chickies and one of my pups was eagerly trying to get to so if you have high prey pups, you may have to put back the leash. We had to. LOL. Great place if you really want to tire out your pups mentally and physically.Emily V.

55This is a great place with lots of space to run and lots of interesting and fun things to explore. My two mini-Aussies and I spent two hours there. The host was welcoming and accommodating. She showed us around and set up a kiddie pool for cooling off and drinking bucket with fresh water, which was much appreciated. The property was completely fenced and though my dogs picked up a few stickers, they were not a problem to remove. (Not sticky foxtails or burrs.) The horses, chickens, and goats were all securely penned but could be sniffed through the fence. It was a great experience for my suburban pups and well worth the hour drive to get there, so I’ll definitely go again.Debra M.

FAQ About Valley Springs 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.
