Hi! My family and I live here in Nokomis and love spending time outdoors on our property. As dog owners with two huskies of our own, we understand how important it is for dogs to have a safe, peaceful place to explore, play, and enjoy nature. We created this Sniffspot to give dogs a private alternative to crowded public parks. We especially welcome dogs that are shy, reactive, energetic, or simply happiest with more space and privacy. We hope our property becomes a relaxing and enjoyable place for both you and your pup!
