55We always love to visit this sniff spot! My wife and I have brought our dog Charlie here now at least 4 times. He loves the agility course layout and the large fenced in gear - he runs countless laps and is always a happy boy when we leave each them. Thank guy for providing this for our very energetic dog! :)Kristopher V.

55Great size backyard for my 5 month old pup to roam around and play. This was our first sniffspot experience and the first time letting our pup off leash and on the grass after receiving all his vaccinations. He had so much fun running around chasing leaves and pine cones. The owners were lovely and provided hand sanitizer, poop bags, dog treats and water for our pup. We will be back again soon!

55The yard was great, and Colin and Wendy were super nice. Just be careful that you don't throw any toys under the porch, as they are hard to get back out. We had a great time! Melissa H.

55Quiet, secure, perfectly sized yard to let my pups run their energy out. They had some interest in the space under the porch but as long as you’re paying a attention and working to keep your dogs attention it’s pretty easy to call them back out from under it without issue. We’ll definitely be back! Caitlin C.
