55We appreciated this lovely yard so much! While Bobby walks daily and we do have a small fenced in yard, he seldom gets to truly and freely run! We did a lot of recall practice which was wonderful! Great spot with lots of shade and a place to sit. While Bobby was pretty hesitant, the agility equipmentment is a wonderful addition! This is a great yard and a safe yard for dogs to play!

55Spacious and private enough that our anxious dog barking didn't seem to disturb. I appreciated how clean it was and all the toys and available water. Our Aussies loved the agility equipment!Kate K.

55This is a huge yard with sturdy fences and lots of mature trees. There's a (bike?)path just outside one of the fences but the fence along that side has screening on it. There's agility equipment and lots of toys! This was a safe place to exercise my usually nervous dog. Tamara S.

55Wonderful spot! This sniff spot has so much space for dogs to wander around and explore but you can keep an eye on the dogs from anywhere.
The agility equipment was fun to try out although my dogs struggled on how to use some of it.
Plenty of space for parking.Cassandra K.

55Our pup loved the obstacle course equipment (though she's not terribly coordinated she still had fun). The site is great and shady, too. Lots to sniff and poke around in. Totally safe, too. There's a hiking trail right next to it, so some pups might want to bark at the occasional passerby, but the privacy curtain along the fence helps with that a lot!Ross E.

55My first time using this app and honestly this yard is amazing. All sorts of obstacle courses and toys to keep your dog occupied. Huge yard and it even has a swing and a picnic bench. Not to mention it is in the shade. Owner provided nice clean fresh water and the yard was secure and safe. Definitely going again. Thank you!M W.

55I have been to several sniff spots and this one is the best hands down! SO much lush area to explore. I think I enjoy coming here just about as much as my dog because of how beautiful it is. The coolest agility course, plenty of squirrels to chase, secure fence (even for small dogs), water bowls, toys, convenient parking, & easy access entrance w/sniff spot sign. I’ll be bringing my pup here from now on! Sammi B.

55What an amazing spot! A spacious, grassy yard with a tall, secure fence! We had no worries about our dog getting out, and she had an amazing time running around to her heart's content. Tony is an amazing host too - lots of toys and agility equipment were available. Can't wait to go back!Madelynn A.

55The ride to Rice Creek is lots of breathless hope and tongues wagging. The ride home from Rice Creek is Zzzzz! We loved our time along the creek. Romeo gave a bicyclist a run for his money and Baxter sniffed every sniffed and ran til his floppy ears couldn’t flop anymore. Fresh water was provided & the yard was clean and picked up! Very fun! Our favorite spot yet. Katie L.

55This is a spacious and well cared for Sniffspot. There is an agility course if your dog is interested in that and lots of space for pups to run around. The area is beautiful with a pretty creek and lots of trees for shade. My dog loved her off leash time and the chance to run around.Tara L.
