55Really enjoyed my time at Shackabuku Spirit Healing Ranch! Awesome place to let loose with your pup and connect with nature. My dog had a blast sniffing, playing fetch, digging, and exploring the area. We will definitely be back soon. Angelica D.

55Beautiful spot. Quiet and peaceful. Although it’s not fully fenced it’s a contained area so most dogs would be fine off leash. My dogs’ favorite part was the soft sand down the bottom. Also a good location if you are traveling along i17 and the host provided fresh water and poop bags Danielle F.

55Such a lovely spot; our dogs had a blast! The host even left out water and a cute little sign welcoming our pups. There’s not much fencing so I definitely would be cautious taking your dog here if they are a runner, but our dogs stuck to the trail and had a great time :) Elyse T.

55My dog and I had a terrific time here today. Owners are a great couple that clearly love animals of all kinds. They have a large, clean and totally fenced area perfect for your dog to run, sniff or explore. They have personal pets on premises that are very friendly and kept separate from the visiting area. We will most definitely be back. Anne B.

55Today was our first visit to this Sniffspot. To provide some context for our review, we have a recently adopted adult German Shepherd, who came to us with some reactivity issues to people and dogs. So we are looking for Sniffspots with plenty of room for a big dog to chase balls, in a fully fenced area, with controlled access to people, dogs, and other animals.
This Sniffspot met all those criteria, and worked well for us. Plenty of room for a big dog to run, in a fully fenced environment. The owners have dogs, so if your dog is reactive, make sure you let them know. The dogs were out when we arrived, but the hosts were proactive in putting them inside and out of sight/sound.
Edwin was a very gracious host. He came out to greet us, and was focused on making sure we had everything we needed for a fun visit. He was even willing to help us with a bit of training to help our big dog learn better how to greet people (even with a GSD who can be a bit intimidating at first).
For anyone in the Valley who needs a big, contained, controlled environment in a Sniffspot, this is a good location. Just wish it wasn't so far from Sedona... :-)

Michael's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Phoenix | Sniffspot
55Michael’s sniff spot was PERFECT for my big dog and exceeded our expectations! She had a big grass area to sniff and play in. My dog wasn’t interested in the pool (she’s a nervous dog), but we plan to visit many times in the future, so hopefully I will get her in there. But it’s perfect if you have any dogs that love to swim! Or perfect for just sniffing and playing in the grass like we did. We felt safe and secure with the tall fencing and there was a clear sign that read “sniff spot” for us to enter. Parking was great, and it was a quiet/private spot to let my dog roam free with no worries. There were some extra toys she was able to play with and some chairs to sit down and rest. Definitely will be visiting again! Kayci K.

55Michael’s backyard was the perfect place for our dog to get his energy out! It was very clean and completely fenced in. There was plenty of shaded seating where we could sit down while watching Banks play in the pool and run around in the grass. We will definitely be back. Thank you Michael for hosting us!Hannah W.

FAQ about our Black Canyon City 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?
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. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Black Canyon City area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 117 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 13 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.
