55Good spot! Decent size for the dogs to run around and play. Be aware this is near the airport, so we had many planes coming in for landing overhead. You also are driving through a neighborhood to get to the spot, so it can be a challenge with a reactive dog in the car. Thanks for sharing your space with us!Alli R.

55Great little spot! It would work well for a smaller dog or puppy. Easy gate access on the side of the house and plenty of street parking. There is a lot to get into in the yard, so you do have to watch out for that. Otherwise, a nice little yard for your pup!Jennifer M.

55Corey’s place was amazing!!! Titan loved it SO MUCH 🐾🥹💖 there was plenty of room for him to run freely and happily! There’s a private entry into the yard which we loved since it’s more comfortable for our pup and it is fully fenced in which gives us peace of mind for a safe, fun and exciting experience! We were also allowed inside the screened in porch in the backyard which was perfect to take a little break and give the puppers all the treats! The fan and heater were free to use and the pup was allowed on the chairs (which of course, Titan loved)! One of the best parts we also loved was that we couldn’t hear or see any other dogs or people nearby- perfect for our pup to relax and enjoy the space. He did love seeing the little kitties by the window though, absolutely adorable and one looked like his kitty sister at home which was so sweet! Thank you for being open during the holidays and for being such an awesome host! We will definitely be coming back soon!Stefanie V.

55Amazing as always!! We put the heater on by the screened porch today since it was a little chilly and Titan loved it. He’s a Midwest pup so the frosty grass was a win for him too! Space was super clean and perfect for him to run around and lounge about 🐾🩵🙌🏼Stefanie V.

55It was a rainy one today! Corey was super hospitable as always! We kept our booking despite the weather to see how Titan would like it and he LOVED IT! He had so much fun running around, going after his toys, getting lots of treats and laying on the little bench in the screened patio. Perfect place to hide from the rain if need be while letting your pup get fresh air and all the sniffies! Such a great experience as always:)Stefanie V.

55Titan had an amazing time trotting around the beautiful property and playing with the treats and toys provided by Ali! Thankful there was water for both of us and poopy bags in case we ran out! I really loved seeing Titan smiling so sweetly as he sniffed around the trees and went off on his own safely and excitedly! I feel so grateful knowing he’s in his happy place exploring and adventuring as freely as he can.Stefanie V.

55The place is great! There are also towels provided and she brought us some waters before we arrived :) there was a black and white cat with a collar on. She kept jumping up on the fence, my dogs were good with her though so it did not cause a an issue but just in case some dogs might not be ok with that! It was extremely friendly and seemed like it wanted to play :)Emmy F.

55The host has an amazing property for owner and pets to feel safe in! The lower level is flat and to the left an uphill to the house or back of property. If you have a reactive dog, this is a great place for them to enjoy with no distractions. It is clear they take care of the grounds. Should you need toys, water, towels, etc., everything is there. The owner was very responsive on the app and the morning of our visit left us a note on the table to welcome us and left a bag of treats for the pups. They also warned us of the soggier ground at the front of the space, yet they had hay down to prevent a real mud pit. It really was not bad! That bit of info helped with the human foot gear and to make sure we had blankets and towels to protect the car interior. We look forward to the next visit. We trieda dog park a few times, but the dog poo, risk of doggy illnesses, unpredictable dogs, and such was a major detractor. The time you book is not shared with other dogs and this is a win for this dog family. kim d.

55Thank you so much, Ali, for the unmatched loving experience you provide for our babies at 4 Paws Ranch every time! Celebrating Titan’s 8 years of healthy and prosperous life here at this safe, fun & spacious environment means everything to us. What’s more special is that his baby brother, Frog, was able to spend it hands-off-leash alongside him. They had sooo much fun with all the toys, all the new spots to sniff (pun intended), and plenty of fresh water! Lastly, thank you for the sweet treats and kind leeway as we were running a tad behind getting them all ready for their special day! <3 we appreciate you!Stefanie V.

55My 4 pups think 4 Paws Ranch is the BEST way to get out some energy and explore! The yard is huge and has flat grassy areas to play fetch and a hilly forest area to sniff and explore. We will definitely be back! Thank you for the hospitality, cold water and dog treats Allison! Abigail M.

FAQ about our Hickory 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.
