Loved it! My dogs had so much fun, they were tired 20mins in from just running and smelling everything. So many toys to play with and so thankful for having different size water bowls for my little dogs. Cant wait to be back!

Love this space! It has a great variety of toys and activities for my dog, Otis. Plenty of places for me to sit. Joanne was very thoughtful to leave poop bags and water. Otis loved every moment of our visit. We will be returning!

We absolutely LOVE coming here! Joanne is so sweet and makes sure you’re all set for your visit! The only sniff spot we go to! I brought all 3 of our dogs spanning from toy poodle to Great Dane (literally) and they all always have such a great time!

This sniffspot has everything and more! Joanne met us and showed us around as we are first time guests. There are plenty of toys and fresh water in this huge space! Thank you so much for having us!

This was my first experience with Sniffspot and I think it will be hard to top! We brought our own toys but they weren’t needed, every kind of toy you could want was already there! The owner went above and beyond to make our time there comfortable and relaxing with fresh towels and even cold waters in a cooler. The space is HUGE and open with plenty to see and sniff for the pups. There is a reason this is considered a “top spot”- we will definitely be back to play another day!

Joanne was such an accommodating host and my family and our 6 dogs had such a great time! Her yard was really well maintained, she had a fire going to help us keep warm, and she had many other accommodations. Our dogs loved exploring her property and it was so great seeing them so happy. For our first Sniffspot experience, Joanne has surely set the expectations very high! We will definitely be back! :)

Joanne’s place is the best! The spot was extremely clean and well maintained and filled with plenty of toys for our boys to use while there! There were chairs for humans and water for both dogs and humans. We heard a dog from a neighboring house at one point but never saw it and had no issues. There are goats in a separately fenced area but our dogs didn’t even notice them and the host said to let them know if it was an issue (it wasn’t at all.) Joanne was friendly and kind, we will definitely return in the future!

WOW! Huge yard, dog toys, stick pile, tree hunks for climbing, and more for the dog with picnic table laden with bug spray, towels, hand sanitizer with another separate bench for humans. Could not be more perfect! Next time I'm in the area, I WILL be back!

Another great night at Joann's! It's been a few months because of how busy the summer is, but Joann's yard looked better than ever! Lots of nice touches including bug spray, doggie pool, towels, and all the toys you could want neatly stored in buckets on the fence. I always recommend her to any one I see with a dog.

Awesome spot that felt secluded and had a lot of shade. Tons of toys, water to play in, space to run, and the bug spray saved me! Fence was nice and secure and Joanne was extremely accommodating.
What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks
Many hosts have added water features like pools and/or are nearby lakes or rivers.
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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Anderson area are 5 stars.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
