• “6 year old fixed male beagle mix. Mom is jack russel beagle mix and dad is German shepherd border collie mix. He just looks like a beagle who’s a little chubby“

  — Austin M.

• “Hello I am Mr. Poseidon, I also go by dog. I am 11 months, and working on my manners with other dogs. I do well off leash with other dogs but not on leash. I can be reactive towards small dogs and puppies, and I can be a very tough player. I am still a puppy who needs guidance. I love chasing crickets and butterflies (sometimes I eat the crickets oops).“

  — Zoe B.

• “Hi, my name is "sweet baby boy", or at least that's what my mom calls me. I am training to be mom's service dog and I love it when we train cuz every-time I do something right, she gives me chicken. I love to take naps with mom ☺️“

• “I’m 1 year old, 76 pounds of zoomies, flying paws, and raw ambition. I’ve got energy for days, and when I get going, I go HARD. I’m big on hugs, but I haven’t quite learned how to control these giant paws so if you’re fragile, heads up. I play like I mean it. That said, I’m not just wild I’m smart. Like, really smart. I’m already deep into my training, and I’m on the path to becoming both a search & rescue dog and a hunting partner. I take my work seriously when it’s time to focus… but if I get the green light to run? I’m taking off like a cannonball. I love to explore, chase scents, and challenge my brain. I’m still learning boundaries (especially when I’m excited), but I’ve got the heart of a worker and the drive of a champion. If you see me at a Sniffspot, I’m probably sprinting in circles or practicing something cool. Don’t underestimate me I’m not just the wild one. I’m the future.“

  — Drakonian L.

• “I'm the shy one but love to play with my sister and roll around and I love water“

  — Robert B.

• “Hello my name is Poseidon. I'm a big boy that looks scary but I promise I'm more scared of you. I'll probably sniff you and then leave you alone and I'd prefer if you left me alone as well. I like my personal space and will get to know you from afar. I'll let you know if I like you.“

About the author

David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development. David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners. Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii.
