55Another fun visit ! Thanks so much! We love coming here to run thru the cool woods!
55We found this Sniffspot to be perfect for a dog to roam around in, play, and sniff to his/her heart's content.
55This was my first sniff spot visit and it is really beautiful and spacious. Lots of room for doggies to play, run around and be free! However, there is some traffic noise. I’m not familiar with the area so I don’t know if it’s like that everyday but I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty noisy. One of my dogs is a rescue who is reactive to cars and so she would bark nonstop at every car she would hear and see pass by, which caused the resident dogs and neighboring dogs to start barking as well lol. Which made her bark more because she’s also reactive to dogs lol. So as you might imagine it didn’t turn out too well for us lol. Currently in training for my dogs reactivity so I’m hoping one day we can go back. If you don’t have a highly reactive dog then this place is truly a dogs upstate paradise!
55Great place! Our dog had so much fun. Fence was secure, place was quiet. All communication was clear. We can’t wait to go back!
55Amazing!
55Kodi loved it! Was wiped after just 40 minutes of running like a maniac. Will definitely be coming back!
55This visit was our first time using SniffSpot. I could not have dreamed of a better location! The space is exactly as described (and then some) and the host even left a generous stack of branches to fetch with! 10/10– will return soon!!
55Another great visit!
55Listen to the reviews, this Sniffspot is amazing! The grounds are stunning, clean, and very well maintained. Lots of terrain options for my dog. We did a lap to check the fencing at the beginning and it was incredibly solid! I was so grateful for the fire add-on as it was a chilly day and we had a lovely fire burning for a whole hour to keep us warm. Me and my dog are from the city so we really appreciated a safe place to run around and enjoy nature!
55It was an absolutely perfect spot for my dog to run around jump & play! Definitely will be visiting here often!

    Host replied: It can be so tough living with such a reactive pup. Thanks for trying out our spot. We do live at the intersection of two big country roads that can get busy. Weekday mid mornings tend to be quietest but you never know. The privacy fence helps with much of the sight but sadly the sound is still there.

The agility yard is a great way to give your pet physical and mental enrichment while strengthening the bond between you. Safety is paramount, so you’ll find our Agility Yard enclosed by a four-foot fence. However, if your dog happens to be an enthusiastic jumper, we recommend visiting the Athens Bunker Hill Dog Park, offering an open and adequately fenced space to accommodate their energy. While enjoying the Agility Yard, please note that there’s a road nearby. For your pet’s safety and the safety of others, keep your pet leashed when entering and exiting the yard. The road sees regular foot traffic, with people walking, dog-walking, and cycling. Passersby may pause to admire your training efforts. Respect for the environment is crucial—remember to CLEAN UP after your pet. Doggie bags are conveniently available on the fence, and you can dispose of waste in our designated garbage receptacle. If your pet happens to dig, please fill in any holes they create. To ensure everyone’s safety, please refrain from using any of the equipment; it’s exclusively for animals. We also emphasize the importance of gentle training methods—excessive force will not be tolerated. Most pets are eager learners, so patience is key. If you’re interested in learning effective training techniques, feel free to reach out for a quick lesson based on my experience with my own dogs. Above all, make training a positive and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. Visiting our agility yard is a direct contribution to our nonprofit One Dog One World's mission. We sincerely appreciate your support. onedogoneworld.org
