Nice yard- convenient parking in the lot next door. Yard most paved, so watch the hot days. My pups- this was their first experience in a while off leash and they had a blast sniffing!

Carrie put a lot of thought into this. I have no yard, so we loved being off leash. The pool, toys, treats, and water were appreciated. We'll be back!

Loved it! My terrier mix had plenty of room to run and the umbrella + baby pools were great to keep her cool in the heat!

Carrie was a perfect host ! The space was perfect. My dog is a small pony but he enjoyed it ! Carrie made homemade treats and provided water for the humans!

Easy access, comfortable seating, little swimming pool, and secure fence. Host had good communication. The area is a little small for using my chuck-it ball launcher. So I just threw the ball with my hand, so as not to go over the fence.

This place is  absolutely amazing!  I have two bagels and they spent the entire time sniffing around and even then they still didn’t get to explore the entire property because it’s so large and it’s beautiful. There’s so many spots for them to smell if I’m going to take them back I think I need to book a 3 hour session because that’s how wonderful and big this place is!  If you love your dog, you will bring them here. Or to her other property, which includes a pond.  The entire property is clean, very well organized. She’s a wonderful person and I have never seen anything like this available for dogs before. It’s absolutely amazing!

Just wonderful .... best Sniffspot my boy Charlie and I have been to! Kathy's communication and organization are outstanding and I appreciate that she makes safety a priority. The huge area is lush and serene, with so many different kinds of walking/running/sniffing opportunities. Charlie is 12 and usually sticks fairly close to me at a Sniffspot, but at the Acres, he was like, "See ya, mom" and off he went, big smile on his face the whole time. Despite being worn out from his adventures on a warm day, he looked at me in dismay when he realized it was time to go. Oh, and it was nice to find a poop bag receptacle midway through our walk, so I didn't have to carry a bag all the way to the exit. Thank you, Kathy ... we'll be back and we'll try out the Pond spot as well!

Blaze had a great time exploring all the scents around the property. Blaze and his friend Stella enjoyed running around all the trees and bushes. What a great experience on a Sunday morning. I would recommend giving the Acres a try, Your dog will have a great time. It was a nice walk around for our humans as well. Looking forward to giving the pond a try next time out.

We love this Sniffspot! My dog is safe and happy, the space is big and interesting, there is both sun and shade and lots for him to do. We will continue coming back when we are in town to visit parents.

This is the perfect place to let two high energy GSP’s just run off leash without any worry. It is very clean and well maintained. You have a nice trail that leads you to your spot. Kathy is quick to get back to you if you have any questions or need anything. I will come back, we’ll worth it.

Best Sniffspot I’ve been to. Even better now with improvements to the parking area. You can’t beat it because of the size. The fence is very secure so that i don’t have to worry about my dog even when she has run out of sight. It’s very peaceful and has lots of trees, so plenty of shade.

Always a great space. Our pup always has a great time and nice trees for her to cool off in the shade. They are very understanding of reactive dogs and have lots of safeguards to prevent Any interactions or incidents. Also the host is very understanding with excellent communication. Above and beyond

Awesome place as usual. Spacious and clean. Some holes, but no big deal. A smaller dog like the one who came with us (less than 15#) might be able to fit through the gate on the side if interested, but she did not.
I liked the new sign for in use/open.
What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks
Many hosts have added water features like pools and/or are nearby lakes or rivers.
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, with Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
