55The place was really clean and nice, my puppy loved it. The only thing would like to share with future guests is that have your dogs and yourself protected with extra mosquitos repellent or patches.

55This is the first place that has been actually conveniently located to UNC campus and such a helpful find!! She was super accommodating with my schedule. The spot does have a bit of a slope, but other than that it was a great place to play and has a “private” gate entry. Will definitely be back! Joline T.

55Beautiful, wooded backyard with tons of interesting things for my pup to explore. Sarah had furniture available to us and water for our dog! She was super responsive to my messages and answered all of my questions quickly! Will definitely be back very soon. Megan M.

55This was a great little space! There were lots of places and things for my dog to sniff! I also felt very safe in this location if you’re going there alone! Thanks for a great place to take my dog! ❤️Danielle H.

55Had a great time. It was much too hot to run, so the visit was more about sniffing than playing. Wear good shoes as the yard is a hill. Normal debris on the ground for a wooded spot. You will need bug spray, with the rain and heat the mosquitos will carry you away. Pauline C.

55We had a great time with our dog Drew. It took him some time to get used to the chickens, goats and rabbit but once we were past that, he had an amazing time. We didn't venture onto the non-fenced trails but the property we played in was great! Several areas with chairs and trails throughout. There were also areas without trails if your dog likes to venture off the trail, but still within the gate. If your dog is a jumper or is tall, the fencing around the property is great, just be aware that the top of the fence is barbed wire- roughly 4' off the ground. We didn't have any issues because our dog is smaller, but something to be aware of. 5 Stars, look forward to coming back!Thomas C.

55Great place to bring your dog(s). Clearly marked trails and a really nice size property that allows for exploring and lots of sniffing. The chickens and goats are cute. Bella became a bit too obsessive with that part of it and I couldn’t get her to refocus so we left early. Next time I’ll invite a friend for her to play with to distract from that.
Highly recommend this spot! Suzanne E.

55Definitely my favorite spot! Plenty of space with a beautiful walking trail. Plenty of locations with water bowls for keeping the pups hydrated while they explore. Deven M.

55Fabulous spot! My dogs loved checking out all the smells and being able to romp around and explore off leash. The goats are a great way to challenge impulse control in a safe setting. Directions were clear, spot appeared as advertised. Great experience!Christina F.

55This spot was perfect! There’s so much room for your dog to either run or sniff around. There were a few mosquitos, but nothing horrible and there was bug spray left out for us! Really happy to have this as an option! Danielle H.

FAQ about our Hurdle Mills 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.
