    We loved this space. Great big backyard and giant pool. Fresh towels and treats on the table for the dogs. We will definitely be back next summer!!

  • Trisha M., Aug 24, 2022

    This was our first Sniff Spot visit and it was great! Very clean, private and dog friendly.

  • Samantha R., Aug 21, 2022

    When we arrived the first thing we noticed was how clean and inviting the location was. The pool was crystal clear, the grass was nicely mowed and the landscaping was nicely done. There was a fire pit, a lounging area, a swing and a dining table to eat at. Mary left towels for both dogs and treats for the dogs as well. She supplied lots of toys, brushes and poop bags. She really considered the owners as well as the pets on this. Not only did my boyfriend and I have fun but the dogs had the time of their life! We will definitely be coming back and will be recommending her to everyone!

We are dog lovers that have an extra soft spot for dogs that might not be comfortable around other dogs enough to share off leash space so are happy to share our space with others. We travel a lot with our dogs and most dog parks require a membership. Having a quick stop along our drive is an awesome idea. Our town is dog friendly & the local micro brew, Steam Hollow, allows dogs to visit as well!

This is a quiet, one road subdivision with large lots. The yard is fully 4’ fenced with a divider fence down the center and agility equipment on one side of the fence. The first section of the yard has a garbage can with poop picker, sandbox, sprinkler and garden hose, water bowl for the dogs and chairs for the humans. The back section has a dogwalk, a-frame, teeter, tunnel, weaves, and jumps.

12.5 acres. No fence. Good for dog swimming or running free. Would like to add agility spots on the property depending on the need in the area I live. There is a wide open space up front or if you choose to go around the back of the house there is a sand beach shallow at the beach area. And more open spots to run on this 12 acres . If you have kids there is a beach area and swings . Be a nice Day to have a picnic under the patio or bring your own grill and enjoy.

This area is super spacious for training, playing, and relaxing. If your dog likes to dig, there’s a spot for that! We half roughly .5 acre of unfenced land for dogs to roam on a long lead. There’s also “trails” behind the house if you want to be adventurous! A perfect spot for shy and reactive dogs.
