55Great spot! My dogs love it 🙂
55Always a great time! We loved the new tunnel and ramp :)
55This was our first time using sniffspot and we go past this spot often on walks! We had to finally check it out and our dogs just absolutely loved it and we’ll be back! Thank you for creating such a nice and fun space!
55Amazing sniff spot, my fur babies did a lot of sniffing and had a blast! We will definitely be back!
55Great time at this spot!
55Love this place!
55This spot isn’t the biggest but it’s still a great spot that gave my dog plenty of room to run and my dog loved and tried all the obstacles!
55Beautiful set up! You can tell a lot of work went into the area. Great communication, signage on the property, and very peaceful!
55My very shy rescue dog loved this yard! He explored all the obstacles loved some more than others. His favorite was the pool! Very easy to find even with a parking spot! We will definitely be back!
55This is a wonderful Sniffspot. There are so many fun things for the doggies to do and plenty of tennis balls!

Description

Welcome to Our Hidden Gem Next to the B2B Trail! Our private, fully fenced dog park is the perfect place for your pup to run free, explore, and just be a dog. Conveniently located right off the B2B trail and across the street from Timber Town, this spot offers a unique mix of nature, enrichment, and fun. Upon arrival, you’ll find a designated parking spot and a peaceful trail that winds around the back of the property to the park entrance. Along the way, you’ll pass our duck enclosure and pond—feel free to stop and say hi! If you'd like to feed the ducks, they love shredded lettuce or diced cucumbers (please, no bread). At the end of the trail, you’ll find a double-gated entry with a separate area for leashing and unleashing your dog safely. Inside, your pup will have the freedom to explore about a quarter-acre of fenced-in space, featuring fun enrichment structures like a dog bridge and stacked hay bales for climbing, sniffing, and playing. This space is ideal for dogs who prefer a quiet environment without the stress of other dogs nearby. While our fence is 4 feet high and the area is smaller than some, it’s a great spot for dogs who just need a safe, fun place to burn off energy and enjoy nature. You're welcome to bring a friend and their dog too—just add them as an extra when you book. We can’t wait for you and your dog(s) to experience a relaxing and joyful visit. See you soon!

Hi, I’m Mike, a furniture designer and the founder of a cat furniture eCommerce company that specializes in wall-mounted pieces made to enrich cats’ lives. Animal enrichment has always been a major part of my life—what started as a passion for building creative spaces for cats has grown into a full-time mission to design environments where animals can thrive. I opened this Sniffspot with the help of my sister and brother-in-law, both of whom are dog trainers and fellow business owners. Their expertise has been instrumental—not just in building out the park itself, but in shaping it into a safe, thoughtful space designed around what dogs truly need for fun and fulfillment. This park is a work in progress and a labor of love. We’re continuing to add new features over time, including unique dog structures and, by the end of summer, our goal is to make the park secure enough for off-leash cat visits as well. I’m excited to bring together the worlds of canine and feline enrichment in a space that celebrates movement, curiosity, and joy. Thanks for visiting—hope to see you (and your animals) soon!
