• “I’m a 4 year old rescue pit-mix who has a hard time sharing space with other dogs and people. I feel like I need to protect my mom all the time so I get angry when I see dogs and people I think might hurt her. Around the few people/dogs I love, I’m a big baby. I live in a tiny apartment and would love a wide open space to run and play fetch :)“

  — Sarah H.

• “Hi I'm a bully mix and I appreciate others giving me my space. I am afraid of getting hurt so I sometimes lunge at other dogs if they come to me before i get to know them and assess if I am safe. I love people but I don't like when strangers approach me quickly, or to make new friends when I'm on a leash. Please just give me space. I have lots of dog friends but I'm not looking to make any new ones right now“

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.

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.
