55Earned the monicker Sniffspot. Luna sniffed non-stop for 30 minutes. A very neat yard with room to zoom. Comfortable people amenities too. We stayed almost until dark and the rain began to fall.
55The yard is small, but just what we needed to get some sniffing and zoomies out. The fencing is secure and we appreciated the fresh water and bowl as I forgot to bring one. The neighborhood trees are full of squirrels, which in my case with a herding dog is both a blessing and a curse.
55Great space! My dog loved the backyard.
55Cait is any amazing host. She answers quickly and has a wonderful yard that both myself and 5 month old puppy enjoy playing in!
55Nice yard with good fencing and lots of sniffs!
55A nice, quiet spot for my pup to get some sniffs in! She also loved spots and chasing some squirrels and chipmunks around the yard.
55Lovely, secure, and peaceful yard with plenty of shade. Appreciated the water availability. Thank you!
55Very private spot close to the city
55Nice spot.
55Great mix of shade and sun and easy parking! It was a perfect spot for my barrier reactive pup—would definitely recommend!

We lost our 15 year old pup last year. She used to love her backyard and now it’s just waiting for other pups to enjoy! About 90% of the border is privacy fence with a small portion in the back corner that is chain link. There is a large tree with lots of cover throughout the day and multiple seating options for you, most of which can be moved as needed. Water, toys, and disposal bags should always be available but we advise bringing backup just in case. We are also available on Rover if you need boarding or sitting. Message for links!

Rice Creek Sniffspot

Fully Fenced
1.3 acres

NOTE: we will be cleaning and storing away the agility equipment for the winter season starting in September. The agility equipment displayed are only available during the summer months. A large, open 1.25 acre fenced in yard with multiple small hills that is bordered on the west side by a public walking trail (with 6 foot fence) and on the north side by Rice Creek (with 5 foot fence). Note that the creek is not directly accessible from the Sniffspot. During the winter months, deer and foxes pass just outside of the fenced in yard, while in warmer months the creek entices additional wildlife as well as the occasional canoeist or kayak. Agility equipment pictured are available during the warmer months and are not available in the winter. There's abundant street parking as we are located at a dead-end. Please do not park in the driveway. Enter the yard using the gate located to the left of the garage.

LongTail Adventures (fearful & reactive dog friendly!)

Fully Fenced
1 acre

**Formerly Pink Pitbull Club** We used to bring our dogs here to Pink Pitbull Club, and when the opportunity to buy came along we jumped on it. We have one reactive girl who has just loved having a huge yard to play and not worry about other people and dogs, I'm sure your pups will love it as well! The front gate is remotely controlled to let guests in, and a button on the inside of the gate for whenever you need to leave. There is a doorbell camera set up for when you arrive, just ring the bell, I'll say hello and let you in :). There's an additional doorbell camera right on the inside of the gate in case you need anything during your visit. I'm happy to chat on the app for any folks that are Deaf/HOH to get in or need help. The yard is 5ft fence with a privacy screen. There are trees and shrubs for your pups to sniff and explore, as well as a wide open lawn perfect for fetch. There are parkour options and a ball pit in the back of the yard and a toy box up near the gate. For summer, we've got some water options to keep your pups cool - a kiddie pool and splash pad, as well as the hose with a mister attachment! Towels provided to dry off before you leave.
