55My disappointment was with my pup, not this spot. I wanted him to run and all he wanted to do was sniff out all the pee spots and add to them. The property is beautiful and the fences were solid. There was some poop piles, but it is three acres. If it was visitors shame on them! I would suggest a trash can for visitors’ use. I brought mine home as I would at any park.Ginger J.

55I have 4 dogs, one of which needed a place where we wouldn’t encounter any other dogs or people. Laura’s place was exactly that and we all loved it!Cait P.

55This was our first Sniffspot and I’m not sure we will ever go anywhere else! Perfect size yard for our pup to run and explore. Easy to find, get in/out, and have plenty of dog toys. Thanks for having us! Chad P.

55Space is great! Brought two reactive dogs that you couldn’t tell were reactive❣️Can’t wait to come back when the pool is open. The only thing is I’m not sure where the dog water was but we also weren’t looking on the deck/patio space very well Kailey K.

55This was not only our first time using sniffspot but our first time since we brought our pup home that we have been able to let him run free. Very nice and large space to let him use up some energy and the host is super quick at responding! Overall a great experience especially when you are needing a quiet place to let your dogs explore.

55This was an awesome spot that we will definitely return to. From STL the drive was easy, just about 30 mins. There is so much space for them to run and explore, and they were especially fond of running up the stairs to the patio to look out from there. The spot is clean, and there is not much around in the way of distractions. If you need a large, fenced in space to let your dog run around and get some energy out, then look no further!Leila S.

FAQ about our Hillsboro 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.
