55Lovely sniff spot! Kelly is an amazing host who is so incredibly thoughtful! Beautiful property with sunshine and shade, secure fence, endless toys, a clean pool, ball pit, tunnel, water for humans, and she even put out clean water (with ice!!) for the dogs since it was a hot day. Perfect parking area, lots of seating for humans, and even a trash can for poop bags. Thank you to Kelly (and her dogs!) for sharing their property with all of us! 😃Michelle W.

55The hosts were very thoughtful in all their amenities and additions. The kiddy pool for washing off dirty pups was great. I loved that water and toys were provided, as well as a pool skimmer for fishing out toys from the lake. Super fun little spot!Caity M.

55We are in the area a few times per year and always come to this Sniffspot MULTIPLE times during our visit. Our dogs love the open space, the creek, the agility, and all the fun toys. It's so relaxing to sit by the creek and fun is had by both humans and dogs :) 10/10 recommend!Madison F.

55Amazing place to have some fun and relax with your doggies. The area is shady and flat which makes it easy to keep an eye on where the dogs run off to. A perfect place to go! Nadia R.

55I think this was the pups favorite of the 4 sniffspots this host offers!
A big open field, agility equipment, a creek, lots of shade too cool off and plenty of places for people to relax as well!Nadia L.

55Kelly does such a great job of providing enrichment for the pups. We booked some time to help the pups get some energy out before fireworks, and as usual it did not disappoint! We learned that Ollie (the puppy in our group) loves herding balls and took to it like nothing. Having the pool for them to jump in and out of was great with the hot weather today. We will always come back.Johanna L.

55This was our first time here and we’ll be regulars now! Enzo didn’t leave the water the entire time but there’s plenty of space to sniff around, different toys to play with and a great covered seating area to sit in while your pups play. Blair M.

55this was absolutely perfect for what we wanted! Huckleberry is a tad reactive so he isn’t great with other dogs but i still like to get him enrichment and exercise in new ways regardless. we went to the beach this past September and he loved the water but hated the waves, sand, and the salt in his face. this pond was PERFECT for getting him loving the water! all it took was a little getting used to before he jumped in after his toys! and the wash station was great to not bring the dirty pond water and mud into the car! this sniff-spot also has a great shaded area and PLENTY of running space! 10/10 recommend, we certainly will be back🩷candice h.

55We’ve come enough times now that we’ve nailed down the wash routine when we leave, they think if they run from me when it’s time to rinse they’ll get to stay longer lol. We’ve been doing 1.5 hours to give us enough time to get clean. Remember to expect mud but the shower head they provide has high pressure so the mud comes right off! 5 stars and nothing but smiles from these guys :)Grace S.

55Fern and I had a wonderful morning at the pond- once she warmed up to the idea of swimming, we played fetch for the whole hour into the pond and she had a blast! Ad mentioned there’s a lovely wash off station by the exit. We extended our stay to get a nice rinse off and start to dry before leaving.Annie J.

FAQ About Candler 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. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Candler 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 114 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 229 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
