Large, nice yard. Loved that it is chemical free. I chose a time that was a little to hot for my girl, so we did not stay the full time, but I'd go back for sure.

Great yard! Perfect for my two dogs to run around and play, they overly enjoyed themselves for sure :) It was a fairly hot time of day so the doggie pool was absolutely perfect for keeping our pups cooled down. We will definitely be back!

First time visiting and everything is as pictures. The fence is nice and secure and tall. The yard has grass everywhere so. Didn’t have to worry about dirty or muddy paws. I enjoyed it here and will be going back!

Mary is great to work with and very responsive. The neighbors did have their dogs out, but there was more than enough property for our pup to burn his energy away from them. Thank you for a great first time using Sniffspot, we will be back!

Me and my pups had a great time at Mary’s place! The land is very spacious and beautiful for the dogs to run around, and is also completely gated! I was contemplating booking 2 hours in worries we wouldn’t have enough time but my dogs were TIRED by the time we reached the hour mark! It’s a great place for your dog me to run around and get some great sniffs in. Will definitely be back 🤗

My dogs loved having a complete fenced in area to run circles in that was in a quiet, peaceful area! We all had a great time. Host even let us know of the conditions of the place in the morning and left hand warmers since it was so cold.

We loved this Sniffspot. It was plenty big for our Whippets to run and get out their energy. Loved the view and the quietness of the countryside, birds singing, etc. Our dogs had a blast!

our dogs had a wonderful time running freely through the acreage. The area was very safe and clean.  Mary’s instructions on how to get in, where to park and how to leave were clear and easy to understand. We will definitely be back and make this a regular event for our dogs.

Lovely spot! My pack had a brilliant time stretching their legs. Mary was super accommodating, even offered us hand warmers as it was a tad chilly. Well groomed and safe place for your hounds to run and explore. Will definitely be visiting again!

MJ’s was a phenomenal spot for my dog because he was able to run at free will with no issues. This was my first time using Sniffspot. Mary provided excellent communication with the protocols for my visit. There was no one or animal in sight during our visit. Lots of dog toys, fresh water for my pup, available trash can, relaxing outdoor patio area for people to relax to watch their pup, and very clean. I would highly recommend MJ’s for a secure fenced area in a private setting for you & your pup. Thank you again Mary.

Such a beautiful spot to bring your pups for some time to stretch their legs! But the sound of silence had to have been the best part for everyone. Mainly nearby farm animals and neighbors dogs you can hear. The rest is a beautiful and serene vibe for my family and our beloved pups. Amazing spot and will be coming back!

Another great visit. My boys didn't want to leave. Such a large space with plenty of new smells and room for them to run at full speed

My dog enjoys and has blust in our visit. He runs nonstop and has a lot of sticks to fetch for him. The host is very kind too, she let me know ahead of time that it was going to be a little muddy and she had a towel for my baby. We surely be back
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.
