This is a backyard pup paradise. Lots of room to run and play and chase balls. Usually some shade on either side of the yard unless it’s the middle of the day. The back porch is available for the parents to sit in the shade and watch. Lots of room to explore and sniff.

Come enjoy this wonderfully shaded backyard!

Welcome to Lucy’s half acre private dog park where you, your family, friends and furry companions can run, play, explore, exercise, relax, and even have a picnic. It’s a great and safe place to be with your loved ones. The park is securely fenced and private. There are trees, a shade sail canopy and a nice area covered shelter with a roof and fan to get away from the elements. We provide chairs, hammocks, a glider, a picnic table, kids play equipment, dog toys, water, etc. The park has a slope which can provide a great way for you and your pup to exercise. A nice big area for your pooch to dig is available as well as plenty of spots for your dog to roam and explore. Some areas are uneven and hilly which adds to the fun of exploring. Come and enjoy our secluded private oasis. We hope you will love it as much as we do.

Every spot is very unique which is the fun part of Sniffspot. We want visitors to have clear expectations before their first visit; this is why we provide so much detail in the description. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions, so we can ensure you have the best visit possible. Parking: Please park in the gravel driveway, not the concrete driveway. Do not park in the grass as it becomes damaged over time. If you arrive early, feel free to hang out on the swing next to the gravel driveway. Chain Link Gate Entrance: Walk down the gravel driveway to access the chain link gate entrance. Next to the man gate, there are water canteens, water bowl, dog toys, dog towels, bug spray, white bucket for trash, and dog treats majority of the time. We do our best to keep the water canteens at the entrance full with water. The only water hose to refill water canteens or rinse your dog off is at the house. There is a water hose on a reel at the front and back of the house. At the entrance, we have a solar light which only lights up the entrance. If you are comfortable being on the property past sunset, head lamps and flashlights can be provided. We will leave the outside house lights on which provides light in the back yard but not the whole property. Also, if you turn your car headlights on, the lights point directly at the field providing some light. Nature: 3 sides of the property run parallel to a creek and woods, so you might see critters (i.e. turtles, snakes, deer, raccoons, birds, crawdads, ants, etc.). Closed toe shoes are a good idea to wear. In the wooded section, there are wood chips, so they easily get caught in flip flops. Open Field: There is a large open field when you first walk through the man gate. In the field, there is a metal glider, two metal chairs, two swing chairs, and table. There is a dome climber play center for kids and a trampoline. Dogs and kids are welcome to jump on the trampoline. (Note: The trampoline has a safety net; the zipper is broken on the net.) The open field holds water after a good rain. We put straw down to help prevent mud. Woods: Towards the back of the property behind the house, there is 2.3 acres of open space with plenty of shade from the mature trees with two hammocks and a fire pit. If the field is wet, we suggest hanging out behind the house in the woods. The ground is always more dry. House: Our house is located on the property within the fenced in area. During visits, we always stay indoors with our dogs with the blinds closed to give guests their privacy. If we happen to arrive from work or errands during a visit, we park at the end of the driveway and walk through the driveway gate straight to the house. We try to message our guests ahead of time if we might arrive during visiting hours. If your dog is reactive to strangers, we certainly appreciate a message stating that, so we can plan better. Creek/Kiddie Pool: To the right of the large open field, there is another man gate that provides access to a creek. The creek is not fenced in but is on our property. The creek has a small sandy beach for digging, two lounging chairs, and a small table. Our dogs swim in the creek almost every day. We keep a long orange leash at the creek gate in case your dog wants to enjoy the creek but has selective listening skills. The leash is long enough for the dog to get in the creek while the owner stands on the bank. (Note: The previous owners buried their trash for years on the creek bed. We are in the process of cleaning it up. The section that has trash is barricaded off with black netting, so dogs can't access the area with glass, metal, etc.) We understand some people don't want their dogs swimming in the creek. We have a kiddie pool, 30 gal black plastic stock tank, and splash pad available during warmer months. The water hose is on a hose reel at the back of the house. Feel free to fill it up with water for your dogs to cool off. Neighbors: We have neighbors that have indoor dogs. Our fences do not touch at all. However, when their dogs are outside in their fenced in back yard, they can see visitors at the main entrance. The neighbor's dogs will bark out of excitement when they see visitors. If you walk back further on the property, they can't see you and won't bark. If your dogs are reactive to the sight or sound of other dogs, this spot might not be the best fit for your dogs. Lastly, we have a neighbor across the creek and through the woods with a rooster. The rooster can't be seen but can be heard at times.

Large Open fields to sniff and roam near a cell tower. Stream, freedom! Gravel parking for you.

*** We will be out of town and have scheduled lawn maintenance. Unfortunately, our guests tear up our landscaping so we will be closed until January so that we can enjoy it over the holidays. Thanks *** You will have 8 acres fully fenced in to roam. Seating: We have a table and four chairs in the very back if you would like to have a picnic off the ground. There is a bamboo area where the table is and it is a shaded area. There are two additional chairs in the other corner of the property. At any time, you can request more seating. In addition, we have a bench inside the carport. Deck: The deck is under construction at this time so I recommend not using it until we fix. Fence: The fence is four feet on three sides and five feet on the road side. The front fence is wood slates but has a wire behind. We've never had a dog escape. But you never know with dogs! Grounds: It is a hilly and lumpy so be careful where you step. Even though it is all grass, we have mowed trails and shortcuts that should help you walk through our fields. You can drive to the back of the property if you would like but watch out for the ditches. Water: You have access to our well and a large water bowl. There should be at least one small water bowl in the carport. Pool: Small doggie pool is available in the summer. Fireplace: We have an outdoor fireplace in the carport that you can use during colder months. Trash can and other amenities are in the cabinet inside the carport.

Welcome to every dog’s dream! Our 2 acre pasture is fully fenced with livestock fencing and has plenty of space to roam. Our barn overhang offers shade and protection from the elements for mom and dad. You can also access electricity in this area. We offer a dog kiddie pool for guests to use at their convenience. It is stored inside the barn so feel free to place it in the grassy areas and fill it with the hose. If we have advanced notice, we can fill it up for you. Our goat pen is adjacent to the pasture, so guests can be entertained by their antics, but please be kind if your dog shows aggression towards them. You will park at the road entrance of the pasture and enter through the gate. Sunsets are amazing and we look forward to sharing them with you and your fur baby!

8.5 acres unfenced with the exception of a 70' x 70' fully fenced area. Primarily open flat fields you can play fetch in. We also have some agility equipment to enjoy. Back side of property are woods to walk in that leads to a creek to play in.

2+ acre mowed, open field with painted disc dog field. This would do well to proof behaviors in a new environment, practice disc with your dog, or host any type of competition or practice that requires space.
