55Great spot to let our dogs stretch their legs! A small pool for the dogs, and comfy chairs for us to sit in while the dogs played. Clean, nicely mowed, well fenced, and the dogs loved it! Chantal M.

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.

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.

55Exactly what I needed in a sniffspot! This was the first time my reactive husky has ever gotten to be fully off leash and roam to his hearts delight. I wish we lived near here, we’d visit every week!Haleigh M.

55We have a reactive border collie so it’s hard to find places to really give him a good run without distraction of other dogs or people. This is by far the BEST space in the Ann Arbor and surrounding area. It’s well maintained, has a small wooded trail, fields with pathways mowed in them, and a little agility circle. One of my dogs loved running through the brush while the other herded her. Lots of free smells and enrichment! Will definitely be repeat visitors.Sarah 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.
