About dogs named Tanner

The following are 14 profiles of dogs named Tanner from our database of 65 dogs with the name Tanner.

• “I love everyone, all humans all dogs and I love to play and swim! I also love running for my ball!“

  — Joanne L.

• “Tanner is my 11-year-old Australian Shepherd with the sweetest personality and classic Aussie curiosity. He loves sniffing, exploring new places, and spending time outside/in the water. He’s a loyal adventure buddy who enjoys having room to wander and take in all the smells.“

  — Harlee S.

• “Like some toys, and to run around some. Very food motivated! I like to hang out with my big brother Jack“

  — Rochelle B.

• “Tanner is a bullmastiff mix that we adopted in Jan 2021. He’s a young dog with tons of energy and sometimes neighborhood walks aren’t enough. He is reactive towards dogs when he is on a leash but loves to play when he meets dogs off-leash. He gets overstimulated at traditional dog parks and has poor doggy manners so Sniff Spots may be the way to go.“

  — April A.

• “The most laid back friendly dog you'll ever meet. Loves people and napping all day.“

  — Andrew M.

• “Crazy wildchild who is a high energy, high anxiety, attention hog!! Loves to run and play rough.“

  — Karen T.

• “So Tanner is just a puppy, he just turned 6 months (as of December '24). We think he's a mash up of Vizsla and a few other breeds. He's a small guy right now, weighing in at just above 30 pounds. He loves to play and adapts to all dog's playstyles. He's also a big people person and loves everyone.“

  — Kayla A.

• “Tanner is a 4 year old chihuahua mix. He’s the sweetest boy and just loves to play but also be lazy and cuddle. He gets nervous sometimes when out in public but loves to play with humans and other similar-sized dogs. He is big dog selective.“

  — Ava C.

• “I’m 12 years old and love being the only dog that humans are paying attention to at any point in time.“

  — Kyria P.

• “I'm a mixed breed but they say I look like a nibble. I know I'm cute and beautiful and a good boy because dad always says I am.“

  — Beowulf D.

• “I'm Tanner and I looove playing with other dogs and socializing! I also love exploring and sniffing new areas with my mom and dad. My leash reactivity (and off leash trust) with other dogs are still not quite ready for hiking yet, so for now, Sniffspot is a great way for me to learn these skills!“

  — Laura M.

• “Humans are kind of scary, especially males. I am very protective of my mom.“

  — Jennifer C.

• “hi im tanner!! im a Labrador retriever and im 10 months old! i love playing fetch and running after my mommy. i don’t have a fenced in backyard because i live on a golf course but when my mommy does take me to the back to play i just love chasing the crane birds and watching my mommy chase after me is really funny too! i also love to stop on my walks and sniff everything!“

  — kaleigh r.

• “He loves people but is very reactive to dogs bigger than a shitzu, as his little friends that come over to play are around that size. Seems everyone in my area has gotten a dog lately and I'm finding it harder and harder to get him out for a "relaxing" walk“

  — Barbara M.

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.

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.
