Our dogs loved this off leash acre to run and wander around, it was great to see our German Shepherd run free until he was exhausted even my 18 yr old pomeranian walked around and had a big smile on his face. There are 2 picnic tables one with an umbrella and a hose for water if you forget to bring some for the furbabies!
We will definitely be back!

A fantastic spot to let the dog run, sniff and we got some training in. The location is accessible and the owner very communicative and helpful. It’s spotlessly clean and very safe for the owner and the dog. I highly recommend and will be back to use the space again.

Great spot and lots of space to run! Fences are well kept and tall. There are chickens but the dogs aren’t able to get to them through the fence. The host is very accommodating and great at communication!! Highly recommend

this is an amazing location for people like us who don’t have a yard for their pups to run around. our boys had such a great time sniffing and running around and definitely made it more sniffable for the next guest :)

This was such a great spot! Kenai is a winter dog so sadly we had to cut the time a bit short once he got too tired. But he had so much fun sniffing around and using the hill to gain speed running down 🥰❤️. Thank you so much to the host for helping us figure things out since this was our first time ever using something like this. But beautiful property and Kenai really seemed to enjoy himself. Will definitely be back!

The place is great for dogs that love to explore and run I went there for an hour and left with 20 minutes to go because my cattle dog was exhausted from all the stuff to check out. Will definitely come back again.

Happy to have found this sniffspot. Easy to find, nice that you can pull in to let the dog out. Peaceful, clean, comfortable. My dog enjoyed watching the chickens. We will be back!

My dogs loved running around here! They got tuckered out pretty quickly due to the heat and running after the ball up the hill. The chickens were fun to watch. Being able to drive into the space is great for loading and unloading the dogs, too!

We Loved it! Great property to just roam, my dog definitely took “sniff” spot literally and that is all he did most of the trip. LOL. We will be back though! Host was great and friendly. Only thing is the gate you come in has a little bit of a gap where a small dog could fit under if yours is like mine and likes to go under fences, etc. But it wasn’t a deal breaker AT ALL I just made sure to pay attention if he wandered off to that spot. No complaints from either of us! Will definitely be back. :)

This Sniffspot was really great. It is connected to a chicken fence, which wasn’t a problem for our dog. There were a couple picnic benches and plenty of space for the dog to run around. Super possible we missed it, but we didn’t see anywhere to throw away poop bags, so plan appropriately for that!
We will definitely come back!

Great place! My Beagle mix loved seeing the chickens. My shepherd loves playing ball, so he was in heaven. We have such a small yard, so it was nice to watch them just run and play! Will be back!

I visited with my dogs and my grand pups. Plenty of room for all 4 to run. There is a hill which worked great for burning off energy. My German Shepherd was obsessed with the chickens. The chickens fencing was very secure. Also very convenient that you pull in and once you close the fence you are able to let your dogs out. (Helpful when you bring 4 dogs)

This was a great spot. Just the right size that the dogs could see me, and have the illusion of freedom. It was clean, easy to find, and as a single woman (albeit one with 2 pitbulls) I felt safe. Greg was very kind. We will be back!
Also, I'm pretty sure my dogs will sleep for the next 24 hours.
What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks
Many hosts have added water features like pools and/or are nearby lakes or rivers.
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.
