55This Sniff Spot was amazing! Well worth the drive from Wheatland. Host was very accommodating to our fear reactive baby. Had everything we needed there, even a place to keep your drinks cold on these hot days. Can't wait to come back and try to get him on that paddle board again! Thank you, Tanya!Melissa Z.

55Beautiful location. Lots of shade. My puppy swam for the first time! Tons of toys and anything you might want. A very gracious host!
Thankfully I had a nimble guest with me who could retrieve my dog from the neighbor’s yard which is across the creek but the man living there was very nice and didn’t seem to mind. We will definitely be back. Mary B.

55Thank you so much for opening up this space. You’ve done so much to make it fun and cute and welcoming. This is a beautiful spot. The water is right there with all the floating toys. Seating areas, dog toys, all the amenities, a bathroom. So much more. It’s really the best of the best in natural environments. The dogs blasted around and had a ball. It’s lovely to know your dogs are having their best time and you don’t have to worry about other dogs, cars, people. Just so relaxing. River F.

55Absolutely one of the best sniffspots we’ve been too! Very private and so many fun activities both you and your dog can enjoy. Tanya was an amazing host and showed us around. She had everything beautifully set up so we can relax and enjoy our time. The river was so nice and even though Sniffspots are for a dogs enjoyment, we definitely felt it was for ours too! We loved it here and whenever we are back in town, we will be coming back. Shelby Y.

55I always feel that it’s so generous for folks to open their property to the dogs in our community. This property is extremely generous in it’s signage and amenities.
However, I will say that this SniffSpot is only for one type of dog: the type of dog that will stay with you within a reasonable distance and has perfect recall. While we really wanted to enjoy this spot and all it had to offer, we couldn’t because I don’t have these types of dogs.
There is very little fencing at this spot. Aside from the road fencing, I could not see any other visible fencing from the property. There were also a lot of features my dogs were and could get into that I didn’t feel were very safe. (Lots of blackberry bushes.)
So if you have a dog that stays with you and has perfect recall, this is a great spot, otherwise I can not recommend this spot to others who’s dogs can’t fully be trusted off-leash. Angela W.

55We had an amazing time and our host was very generous, lots of great features. Great for our two giant pups, almost entirely fenced with the exception of the opposite side if the creek but if you can keep an eye on your pups this was definitely an amazing experience and would gladly drive all the way back! All you need are some human snacks and drinks and everything else is taken care of felt super comfortable as if i was in my own home.Shannel R.

55Tanya’s place was amazing!! They had a ton of different toys/activities for the dogs and a TON of seating for owners! They also provided anything you could need (treats, towels, shampoo, sprays, water shoes, water, etc). Our dogs had an amazing time, especially in the water. I definitely recommend this place for any dog owner, but especially those whose dogs love water. Hannah G.

55We stopped at this Sniffspot during a camping trip with our dog Blue. Blue was recently diagnosed with cancer so this trip was a chance for him to play and have fun before he gets too sick. The visit to the Sniffspot was an absolute blast, it was ones of Blue’s favorite places he has ever been. He loved swimming in both the kiddie pool and especially the creek…he spent the entire time in the water. This Sniffspot was extremely well set up. There were tons of dog toys, floats, water, chairs, poop bags, an outdoor speaker, water shoes, towels, dog shampoo, literally anything you could think of. So well thought-out! Blue was so happy and even after hours of playing he didn’t want to leave. We did have a few hiccups with booking in the app, but it’s to be expected when dealing with technology, and it doesn’t overshadow this amazing place and an accommodating host who literally thought of everything a dog and their humans might need to have fun. This experience will be a memory we get to keep forever. We are planning to return again as soon as possible! :)Rebecca C.

55Wow wow wow! What a fantastic Sniffspot. Our boys had the best time exploring the creek and running around the very clean, and well maintained sitting areas. These hosts sure know what they are doing! It is priced a tad higher than other spots, especially when you have three dogs, but we will gladly pay a premium for this type of adventure. By far the most fun we have ever had at a Sniffspot, which is saying a lot, because there are some great ones around. Kira H.

55This place is hands down the best sniff spot we’ve been to. Our family recently grew with bringing newborn twins home and our dogs haven’t been getting out as much. We wanted to give them a safe adventure for being great Nannie’s and we could not be more pleased, and satisfied. Tanya’s place was fully equipped with fun toys for the dogs, plenty of seating, floats, shade, space to run and play in the water. We’ll be back! Ivonne M.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
