It was a drive for us but we’ll worth it. Ripley had a blast running around, spending time in the sandbox and getting in the pool!! She was obsessed with the chickens and wanted only to stay with them once she saw them. Hahah Thank you for having such a lovely place and sharing.
Host replied: Thanks for making the drive to come and check us out. I am glad it was worth your time and investment. Please visit anytime!
The play yard is an amazing spot for off leash fun. My 1 yr old was ecstatic to be able to explore and run full speed. We loved it! Plan to go back. Very clean space with lots of natural forest to explore. My 5 yr old loved jumping in the pool to cool down in between her sprints.
Host replied: Thanks for visiting and sharing your precious pups with us!
This was our first Sniffspot visit and we loved it! We just moved and have been missing out fenced in yard so it was so great to have a place to run and play! Rookie loved all the fun toys provided and chasing the ball over and over. He did not want to leave!
Host replied: So glad you enjoyed your experience. We look forward to seeing you again in the future!
My dog had a decompression sniff and explore of the whole sniffspot for around 10 minutes then we got to enjoy a bit of everything offered. It was interesting to see his reaction to the chickens. He recalled away from them and has fun. Was super into the parkour logs and was driven wince we started with the agility set :) Worth visiting again! I just wish I picked a better day where it wasn't all wet from the rain!
Host replied: Love the pictures. Oddly enough, it poured right before you arrived and then stopped just as you got here. But of course the playground was very wet.
This was our first Sniff spot visit and it did not disappoint! Tons of agility/confidence building equipment, digging area, large fenced in area with room to explore and a big pool for my dog to cool off on a hot day! Although my dog was not interested in the confidence building today because there was so much to smell and explore he had a blast. Thank you for creating such a welcoming place for dogs to play! Highly recommended as we will definitely be back again!
Host replied: So glad sweet Obie enjoyed. Please visit anytime!!
I visited with my pup, a friend and her pup! The separate fenced areas were perfect for letting our dogs sniff and stretch their legs before opening the gate and letting them interact within one giant yard. Her pup loved the variety of things to interact with. Mine loved being able to explore a wooded area AND a lawn. He wasn't sure about the chickens, but he had so much space to play that he quickly forgot about them. The space was very clean and secure. Neither of our pups were interested in climbing a big woodpile just to get over a fence so no concerns there! We didn't opt for any of the extras although it's great to know we have options for next time.
Hank had another great day at the playground and he brought two of his best friends with him – Tito and Dixie❤️ I keep forgetting to take pics, but I will next time if I’m quick enough - even though he’s 130 pounds his Zumiez are super fast 😂 🐾
Very fun spot. Lots of room to have zoomies both on grass and in some woods. We had fun with the agility equipment and the splash pool provided. We will definitely be back!
Host replied: We loved having you visit. Please come back soon!
Simply the best! So much to see, smell, and experience: agility equipment, all kinds of balls and fetch toys, sensory pools, large digging area, and chickens to meet! Water on site and comfy, shady places for mom and dad to sit. We went as part of our dog's birthday week celebration and we will be back!
Host replied: Honored to be part of Clovis' birthday celebration week! Thanks for visiting and we hope to see you again soon.
We brought our small dog Maisey to have fun sniffing and enjoy the diverse areas of this spot! First thing she did was to check out if she could escape but all was buttoned up safe. She loved exploring the woods, meeting the chickens, running through the tunnel, and then jumping into the pool to cool down and float! Thanks Traci & Ray for creating such a fantastic sniffspot!!
Host replied: Thanks so much for visiting and for the great photos. Maisey makes that pool look huge. Glad she could enjoy all that space to herself!
