Description

NOTES: (May 2023) Our neighbors are replacing their fence in the near future. In anticipation, the electric fence has been taken down until the new fence is up. --- Our spot is 10 acres of open flat land with a large farm pond. It's perfect for dogs that love to swim, play long distance fetch, or just run in open space. We provide a large selection of toys, 30ft floating leash, extra poop bags, and a dedicated waste bin. There is also a dog wash station, towels, and a force dryer, so you won't have to take home a wet, dirty dog. On request, a canopy can be set up for additional shade. Feel free to grab a chair or two and sit on the dock while your dogs run around! --- We are now offering a limited number of memberships. Pricing is $10/dog/hour (+ 50% off additional dogs), members can book with 18hr notice, and have priority for last minute bookings/rescheduling.

    Our dog had a great time jumping off the dock!

  • Marykate L., May 21, 2023

    Incredible spot! So much opens space for dogs to run and the pond is the best feature if you have a dog that loves to swim.

  • Sushant B., May 21, 2023

    Nice big area and friendly host!

  • Katelyn H., May 18, 2023

    What a wonderful Sniffspot! My dog loves the water and practiced her dock diving for two hours straight. I highly recommend if you want to get your dog into swimming!

  • Nathanielq P., May 14, 2023

    A wonderful spot! My dogs were so happy to swim in the pond and to run around. Will definitely come back

  • Ashley M., May 14, 2023

    Easy to find. Plenty of space for my pup to run around. We loved the pond and the dock! We had so much fun! One of the best sniffspots we’ve be to. Highly recommend.

  • Pamela M., May 7, 2023

    This was our first Sniffspot visit. The description was spot on! We’ll be back

  • Orli M., Mar 26, 2023

    This was a wonderful spot and we are excited to visit again! Our dog is reactive and we live in a busy neighborhood, so it means a lot to us to find a space for him to explore. The area is quiet, beautiful, and he had tons of fun running around and sniffing everything :)

Lover of working dogs and a dog sport competitor for over a decade. We are fortunate enough to have a space that is large enough to host training days, trials, shows, and other dog events!

We have a very private fenced in yard, we would like to offer up to any other pups who might enjoy some freedom! Lots of availability for weekdays too. We have a natural wooded yard that borders a county park on one side, with a 6ft wooden fence all the way around the property, and a side entry gate. The ground cover is the soft playground wood chips, specifically designed to be comfortable for all kinds of furbabies! Endless amounts of smells and sniffing opportunities from all the local wildlife that frequent our yard. Good space for long runs, frisbee, tennis ball, soccer ball action for the energetic pups, and plenty of space for meandering, or just lounging around in the sun spots for the more mature pups. The yard has sunny areas and plenty of natural shade from the trees. You can also enjoy a deck with a patio table, cushioned chairs and lawn chair seating, poop bags, extra dog water bowls, outdoor spigot with hose for water bowl refills, or hose play and elevated feeders for the pups who cannot bend down very well to drink. The public park next to us has several wooded trails, so if your pup has any energy left, it is a nice park to walk. Quiet spread out and very dog friendly neighborhood. Easy parking on the street outside the house, side entry gate but please make sure you click the gate shut when you leave though!
