55Fun spot with plenty to entertain my Aussie and her border collie (mix) friend. Clean, plenty of room to run, and sniff!
55easy to enter with everything our Dog, neighbor dog and parents needed or Wanted. Shade and sun with a dog pool that was appreciated on a hot day. We loved the toys and agility games.
55Nice to sit in the chair and relax while I throw the tennis balls. Dogs loved it!
55My dog had a great time! He loved the pool and all the available toys. The towel was especially appreciated as I forgot my own at home. We will definitely be back!
55We loved our time here! We tried the backyard games they had out and our dogs enjoyed the kiddy pool that they provide (definitely helped with those muddy paws!) all sorts of different toys for them to choose from!
55Great spot for all 3 of our pups to run and play! We loved the signs and communication- there was water available and the pups LOVED the kiddie pool! Would recommend this spot 100%!
55Nice spacious yard with lots of leg room for fetch, sniffing adventures, and extra goodies like agility obstacles and toys. Highly recommend! While two of the fences are chain link/see through, there was no one outside/in view on a nice day so dogs were very focused on play!
55we had a great time!
55We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Laura's Sniff Spot. It was tidy when we arrived, and a few thoughtful details - including some obstacles and hors d'oeuvres for the pups - enhanced the experience.
45My pups love to run around the yard and play here! It’s understandable with the recent holidays but there was dog stool found throughout the yard that I had to pick up so my dogs and I didn’t step in it (I did end up stepping in some despite being careful!)

Description

Fully fenced: 1 side privacy fence, 2 sides chain link, and one side with the house and gate. Place bagged poop in the small garbage bin. Please do not allow pups to dig or to enter the small separately fenced garden. Spring 2024 the yard is very tender with grass trying to recover from last year's drought, if you remember, it helps to throw "fetch" in lots of different directions to spread out the "wear and tear." Added FYI: Same day bookings will probably have the bedtime and morning 💩 from my pups since I routinely only pick up after work during warm months. If you book 24+ hours in advance I can squeeze in an extra poo pickup before work. *WINTER I pick up weekly, weather-permitting, so might not be a great spot for pups who eat poopsicles--you know who you are!
