55Dale’s property is beautiful! My dog is scared of people and Dale was very respectful of that and allowed us to have a contactless visit. There was a trail as well as a lot to sniff around his yard. It was very quiet and peaceful! Thank you!Maria W.

55Dale was accommodating and the land was terrific. Paths mowed into the grass so you know where to go. My dog loved the pond and stopped for a swim twice! Dale even provided a map so I wouldn’t get lost. I will definitely return.Joann S.

55This is a beautiful spot! Dale was very kind and helpful, and provided a map upon arrival. Highly recommend the pond - the dogs loved it and are still tired after exploring for just an hour. We'll be back!Samantha N.

55We had so much fun here. So much to see and do. Thor was obsessed with the pond and didn’t want to leave. A ton of wildlife and the map made it super easy to navigate the property. Can’t wait to be back!Kayleigh V.

55I brought my large 6 year old and my small 13 year old dogs to this amazing location and they had a ball. The pathways are clear enough for my old little guy to maneuver with ease but the length of the trails was prefect for my large younger dog to stretch her legs. They both found plenty to sniff and a splash in the creek didn’t leave them covered in mud due to the Sandy bottom. Definitely will visit again. Jasmine C.

55Dale was very accommodating and pleasant with a map of the land and some pointers. We enjoyed our time immensely and I left with a very tired but fulfilled pup. The spring fed pond was such a highlight! Also the wildlife was fun to see as well. I’d highly recommend, very clean and taken care of. Can’t wait to revisit. Jenn M.

55This was such a lovely spot to visit with our pup! Very friendly and helpful hosts (they even provided us with a map of the property, which was so helpful!), and a long trail for us to explore on. Lots of fun wildlife and smells for our pup to interact with, and we left with a very happy and tired pup :-)Taylor H.

55We had an absolute BLAST at this spot! The trails and property boundaries are clearly marked and defined, the property is clean and well maintained, and there are sooooo many opportunities for fun with your dogs! Even on a chilly December day, my dogs enjoyed the pond, which I did not expect of them. I left with two dirty dogs, which in my world is a good thing. We drove a touch over and hour to visit, and will absolutely do it again! Lindsay H.

55Dale was a great host. He came out to meet us and he even has fresh eggs. We strolled through his fields, enjoyed being out in nature. Just note that not all 68 acres are accessible. We enjoyed our Sniffspot at Dale’s and hope to return. Joyce I.

55Another amazing trip to this sniff spot! We have been dying to come back since the first time we went, and between the gorgeous weather and all the fun things to do, I was kicking myself for not booking an additional hour. The girls were so relaxed and carefree and it was so wonderful to see them enjoy themselves so much. Cannot wait to come back soon! Lindsay H.

FAQ about our Paw Paw dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Paw Paw area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 49 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
