Perfect first experience using Sniffspot. Jeff was personable and made our time at the farm enjoyable. Our old pup is a rescue that I don't feel comfortable taking to a dog park. Jeff has made a place where new sights and smells can be experienced without having to deal with unknown dogs. We will definitely be back.

Such a cool space. Used it for my dogs birthday party. The dogs were so much more excited about the farm animals then all the space to play with each other. But they were tired nonetheless. Jeff is great and so friendly and helpful.

This spot keeps getting better! The hosts put a lot of work into keeping it nice for the dogs AND people! Truly a beautiful property and perfect spot to exercise our two high-energy dogs. The kindness of the hosts just make it that much better.

We had the best time and will definitely be back! They had toys and water available, but my dog was more interested in some great sticks that were lying around 😂 The host was friendly in communicating directions and things to know about the spot.

We loved our first visit so much that we had to get a membership! My last comment mentioned some wire that was on the ground. Todays visit was a week later and the wire was all picked up. The owners of this Sniffspot are very attentive and easy to communicate with. Just be mindful that it’s a large property and they won’t necessarily see every little thing that could go wrong or be left behind by other people. Mention any concerns and they are quick to fix it so all the pups visiting have a fun and safe visit. Very pleased and highly recommend!

Our dogs had a blast! Beautiful, huge property - including both wooded trails and a really large grassy field for fetch, etc. Toys, fresh water, and poop bags are all provided, which was really lovely. There's also a bench for humans, if needed.

Awesome spot! Very well maintained. Dogs loved the pond and as an added bonus DaRel provided all the boys treats 😁. Highly recommended!

A lovely spot. The amenities were nice - fresh water, toys, treats. My dogs loved all the new scents in the woods.
I would have liked the trails marked, but that's about it.

Easily accessible and the hosts are extremely nice. They kept in touch and gave us a heads up right before we arrived that water for the dogs was there and some treats. Great open space and trails!

We came here to celebrate my service dogs birthday and we had such a good time. The property was clean and safe to use with our dog (she’s well behaved and honors boundaries & commands well so that might make a difference on such a big property) The owner was very quick and thorough with answering messages before and the day of our visit. The trails were fun but the pond was a blast (much bigger and cleaner than I expected). There’s a little bit of loose wire over by the dock that a dog could get tangled up in but looking back perhaps the dock was off limits and I didn’t realize it. I probably should have asked 😅
We had so much fun and even got a special birthday cookie for my pup 😄 We will definitely be back sometime in the future.

A very private and open space to explore with your pups. The host was very accommodating and had plenty of toys and water available. Highly recommend, as we very much enjoyed it, and will be back again.

This Sniffspot has been SUCH a wonderful place for our dogs to exercise & explore.
We used to be dog park-frequents until my older boy suddenly developed a massive sensitivity to other dogs, and despite our great efforts to train him on a leash, he simply could not grasp the concept of what it means to have an enjoyable walk around the neighborhood, either. So, as you can imagine, it's been incredibly difficult to get him the proper exercise he needs, which has been so sad because exploring the great outdoors is what he loves most. Not to mention, it's also limited those experiences for my younger one, too.
We feel so incredibly thankful to have discovered Sniffspot, and this property in particular (in fact, it's the only spot we ever visit). Watching them sprint out of the truck into the open field, explore along the trails & treelines, and jump into the pond to retrieve ball after ball is absolutely priceless.
The owners take great care of the property and even in the couple of months we've been visiting, it's obvious they've invested in making their spot even more safe & enjoyable for all. We anticipate many visits to come and *highly* recommend checking it out for yourself.
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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Kansas City area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 62 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
