Wag-n-Dash Play Yard 🐕

The Play Yard is a large, open space at over a 1/4 acre! The grass (no mulch here!) is fully enclosed with 6-foot chain link fence and privacy screening. When you book your time, it is 100% yours and no other dogs will be in the Yard. The concrete bench on the far end of the yard is naturally shaded by the trees. Plus there is a shaded area next to the shed with two chairs and a small table. The community toy basket includes balls, wubbas, west paw bumpers, frisbees, and toss rings for everyone to share. NEW: You can also add on a new toy for your dog, if you prefer. Please see photos for options and add on an Extra at checkout. Dogs love running through the tunnel, cooling off in the puppy pool, and digging in the sandbox! Poop bags are provided and hanging at intervals around the fence. A hose is available in the back left corner of the Yard and 2 water bowls. Charleston weather can be tricky some days, so I offer a "rain guarantee". If you get rained out during your scheduled visit time, I am more than happy to reschedule for you within 2 weeks. Also regarding weather, if it has been raining for days in a row the grass can get soggy in areas. If you forget to bring towels, just ask! For the humans, sunscreen, bug spray, and a first aid kit are available if needed. I really hope you and your dog enjoy the Play Yard. If you have any issues, please let me know so I can make it right.

A big yard with a small muddy stream that my dog LOVED. Lots of nature smells and wildlife. Met the cute host dog and our lab loved to have a playmate! Not for dogs that are bad with cats.

This place is awesome!! It has a high fence with privacy so if you have reactive dogs like mine no worries. The yard itself is well kept and a great size. There are lots of features for the pups like the sandbox and baby pool. The host is absolutely wonderful as well. It was drizzling a little when I was there so she put some towels out for me. I just can't say enough about this place. So far this is my favorite spot and I will definitely be back!!

Owner, Molly, was fantastic. My sweet pup and I had a great time. The yard was large, clean and we loved the kiddie pool. The shaded seating was appreciated. The trash can is hooked to the fence closest to the parking lot. Someone left behind a poo bag, probably because they didn’t see the can!

Awesome spot! We loved it. Only complaint was there was so many bugs biting my legs, but obviously that’s no one’s fault!

Didn’t even mind that it was muddy! Me and my girls had so much fun! Even Scarlett, who is pretty shy, was running around for a while!

Our first Sniffspot and I am very happy we chose this one! We are traveling from PA and I needed somewhere for my cane corso to burn energy during our long car ride and this spot provided lots of available free toys, a baby pool, a sand box, and tons of room to run. This spot was clean and the host has great communication!

This spot was perfect for what we wanted. It’s on big wide open area. Large enough for the dogs to get to top speed while playing. It was clean, no hazards for the dogs, and very private. I would 100% return

My pups had so much fun, we will definitely be back! Everything was right where the owner (Molly) said it would be, with helpful signs and doggie bag rolls hung in convenient spots around the yard. When I had a problem figuring out the hose sprayer (operator error🙃), Molly immediately responded to my message. My one dog also really appreciated the soccer ball in the toy basket.

It is easy to find. So many toys and activities for the boys. It was great for them to burn off some energy and get fresh air. It was great ! Definitely use again.

Great spot, very clean, excellent source of water, extremely good selection of toys for your dog to choose from. Double gates to ensure dogs don’t get loose. Owner is extremely responsive and made sure to keep other clients away from the play yard. We don’t have any place to let my dog run at home so I am so glad this place allows her too. I can’t give enough stars to say how happy I was with this place.

We love it here!!! It’s private but a big enough space where our dog can really get the zoomies out.

Awesome place and safely fenced. It was pretty hot outside but we had a shaded area to sit, as well as, access to the water hose. The dogs were able to drink fresh water and get a little wet to cool off.

Great fenced in area to just let your dog do some sniffing and playing some ball. Little water hose to quench his thirst. Also the host was very accommodating for me running a few minutes late. Thanks so much for the spot!

We can’t express enough how perfect this location is. With all the amenities, toys, water and treats our girl enjoyed every second. We just rescued our pup and having a safe space like this helped us get to know her playful side even more. We will be back and plan on getting a monthly membership. Thank you, your thoughtfulness was greatly appreciated.

This is a lovely spot, and my two dogs went bonkers with excitement! The place is safe, very-well fenced, and very clean. Even toys to play with :-) We will definitely be back at Molly’s Sniff Spot!

We had a great time at Wag-n-Dash! The directions provided were very helpful, and the space was exactly as described. We brought our own toys, but appreciated that there were also toys provided. The shaded space and chairs were also greatly appreciated. My pup isn’t used to having this much space to run around so we ended up leaving a little early because she got pretty tired, but we’ll definitely be booking again!
