Scratch Pad$5.0

If you struggle with trimming your dog’s nail, this is the great alternative to going through that traumatic experience! You train your dogs to scratch their paws on the pad with treats, start by asking for 'paw'- and just after a short time of training he will pick it up easy peasy! After maybe 10 scratches his nails are nice and filed. Scrach board is for rent only please leave it on the property when you're done with your visit so other sniffspotters can train, too!

    Loved this sniffspot!

  • Samantha L., Mar 7, 2023

    He had so much fun! This Sniffspot was clean and cozy. Even when a neighbors dog was out the privacy fence helped dim his reactivity! Will definitely be back!

  • Michelle E., Feb 26, 2023

    Super clean and fun spot! We occasionally heard other dogs in the neighborhood but the fencing keeps the space feeling really private. My dog had a great time :)

  • Denise M., Feb 1, 2023

    The fenced in yard was big and there were toys, water and treats from a dog bakery which was a nice touch. I hope to return again. They offer other things such as a pool ball and heat that I didn’t try.

  • Mary N., Jan 29, 2023

    Great spot, fully fenced and comfortable. Hosts provided a water bowl, toys and even a treat for our pup. Highly recommend!

  • Sarah S., Jan 29, 2023

  • Meredith C., Jan 27, 2023

  • Allie G., Jan 21, 2023

    A really great spot! Samantha left special treats for our girls gotcha day! The space was clean and private with lots of toys!

  • Sarah K., Jan 5, 2023

    What a fun yard and a great gem in the city! We loved getting to run around and play without being worried about other dogs walking by. Absolutely LOVE the tall privacy fence. Very secure and allowed my dog to relax and explore!

  • Shelley P., Jan 2, 2023

    We had so much fun here! Loved the toys and the treats! Thanks for sharing your space! We’ll definitely be back!

Hi! My husband & I have two Alaskan Malamutes Denali & Lincoln, 2 cats and sometimes foster with PAWS! Tag us on Instagram during your stay! @malamutesinmanayunk We lived on Main St Manayunk for a few years prior to moving here. Dog parks made Lincoln reactive to other dogs and having a reactive dog in the city was so hard, we couldn't even walk out of our front door without an off leash dog bombarding us. When we were looking to move this yard was the deal breaker. It's amazing to finally see a reactive dog relax and that's what this yard did for us, we'd love to share that with the rest of the community!
