55We loved our visit to Sweetwater Court! Not only is it exactly as described and pictured, until you are there, the amount of relaxation I, as the human, had is simply off the charts.
Having to send our vaccination records to Cathy and Vernon gave me the peace of mind that we'd be spending time in a place that didn't risk my shepherd's health or mine.
My 9 year old GSD was joyous as she ran around, sniffed absolutely everything, and worked on her training with me.
Having a safe place to word on off leash recall and other commands is invaluable to me.
I chose Sweetwater Court for the more rural setting and we weren't disappointed. A gray tabby met us in the drive way, we heard chickens, a crowing rooster, other large sounding dogs barking, a woodpecker doing what a woodpecker does best and I believe possibly a peacock off in the distance.

55The Sweetwater Sniff Spot is truly “sweet” in every way. My pups and I had a wonderful experience on this beautiful day. Kathy and her hubby have done so much to make their sniff spot truly the best!!! Treats, bandanas, fresh water, toys, balls…whatever the need, it’s all there for you. She has even provided beverages for purchase for the humans. We will for sure be back and we wish it could be multiple times a week!!! I have tired, contented pups tonight. Linda M.

FAQ about our Archdale 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.
Are dog parks safe?
