55The fenced yard was easily accessible . Rory loved running around the yard. It was the perfect size for us to let her roam around freely on a long leash. While we did hear the neighbors dogs barking due to the high fence Rory wasn't able to see them and it was actually a great training opportunity to get her to focus on us. Would definitely recommend and also going back again soon!b s.

55Nice sized, well maintained yard, fencing is secure. There are no areas where dogs can escape. The neighbors have large dogs which will bark but they are fenced in and not visible. It wasn't a problem for us. The neighbor eventually put the dogs inside. Our puppies loved running around in the yard and we all had a great time. We will definitely come back again sometime.Patrick S.

55This is my second time back. Merlin loves the farm. It is so nice to have so much space for off leash. We would come all the time if we lived closer. Luann R.

55Alas, I cannot share any photos from this visit - they're all a blur because the woods and trails at the back of the property were enough to keep my dog running at full speed for the full hour. A delightful afternoon at The Farm to be followed by a very quiet evening (she is already fast asleep) - success!Sarah W.

55A great spot for canine enrichment. My dogs are ready to leave after 45 minutes because they are so tuckered out from all the new scents at the farm. I added pics of the gates and locks. Easy to use and very secure.Karen J.

55Easy to find entrance. Liked having the catch gate area with multiple dogs. We spent the whole hour exploring the fenced in area. A really great experience Jennifer J.

55Safe, clean and lots of great sniffing! The combination of mowed paths with taller grasses created a diverse exploration experience for my dogs. Delores C.

55Beautiful property that traverses fields and woodlands. Having access to this much space fully fenced is wonderful, especially as we work to improve recall in areas full of exciting wildlife smells!Jen M.

55The Farm is the best Sniff Spot I’ve found in Michigan! My two high energy GSP’s LOVE the amount of space they can run through and sniff. It brings me so much joy to see them have such a good experience stretching their legs and running at high speed. This time we brought a guest dog who is a pug and he also loved it. You don’t have to have larger athletic dogs to have them enjoy this space! Sarah F.

55We loved The Farm! It’s extremely pet and human friendly. There are several walking paths that wind through tall grasses and a wooded area. It was a very relaxing afternoon and the dogs ran and explored the whole time. It’s so comforting to know that they can run freely with no chance of running off or getting injured. The double gates at the entrance are very helpful and keep the dogs safe. We will definitely be back. It’s worth the hour drive! Andrea B.

55My mom and I love The Farm just as much as the dogs do. It’s very peaceful and the scenery is beautiful. It also brings us joy to see the dogs so happy. They run and explore the entire time we are there. It’s so nice to know the whole area is fenced in and the dogs can’t run off. We drive about 1 hour to get to The Farm but it is definitely worth it! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful property with us! Andrea B.

55This was amazing!! My reactive rescue pups loved running all over this fenced in property. There’s an area with agility, a huge pasture, and a forest. Wow. Definitely heed the tick warnings— the dogs had quite a few afterwards. Thanks for providing such an awesome space for us to have an amazing time. Elizabeth D.

FAQ about our Flat Rock 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.
