45Nice large area for dogs to play and walk thru wooded area. Well worn. No agility equipment, which we didn't need anyway.
55Lots of wooded clean trails to romp and sniff through. Our dog, Hairy had a grand time. He was interested in the visible chickens but they are very secure.
55The trails were great to walk around and there were plenty of toys and exciting things for our dog to play with in the yard. It was a great visit! Thank you for hosting!
55This was our very first sniffspot and we loved it! Our 2 dogs had a blast sniffing, swimming, and running. We will be back. 🥰
55GREAT yard and woodsy area, my dog loves it!
55What a fun spot!! Lots of fun options and the host sets up a lovely welcome table with water, bug spray and stickers! The trails out back are super cool but Tilly loved the pool and agility jumps the most.
55This was a great space with plenty of room to roam. We brought our two dogs and foster dog along and they had a great time. They also had bug spray and water available for us humans which was great.
55We are sadly having our last good byes with Bear today. We needed a place where he could run free and explore that was new to him because that's one of his favorite things. Melissa's place offered a safe place for him to that with our other dog Lilly. He enjoyed sniffing the trees and the treats that were provided. We diffently will come back with Lilly. Lilly sure enjoyed the pool. Which surprised us because she never plays with the pool at home.
55Such a fun time! The back yard has many different areas to keep your dog occupied and I was to do some agility training to

Description

Please follow us also on Facebook! @Sniffington Acres. Feel free to post the fun time your had at our spot ❤️ We have a 1.5 acre fully fenced (Most of the fence is 5.5ft - 6ft small back section of the fence is shorter ~ 4ft. Fence not a solid fence same fencing as what is used in most dog parks, so if your dog is a serious flight risk they would probably be able to break through) 1/2 the yard is wooded with walking trail. Plenty of smells from critters that pass through. For doggos we have, kiddie pools, a sprinkler and a dig pit in summer and fall if it's hot enough. A ball thrower, some agility equipment, and a flirt pole. For humans I will have out the Keurig if you would like something to drink (coffee, hot chocolate, cider) while your pup plays. We have chickens on the Left corner of the house, they are in a fully enclosed coop/run + a divider fence to keep our dogs out of that area.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Same hazards you would have running through the woods, there are bugs and they can be bad in the summer. I do provide bug spray in the summer. Though the backyard is entirely fenced it is a cheap fence, there are areas that are bent with age (next year we hope to reinforce/put in a better fence) large/athletic dogs could jump the fence if they wanted. If you have a high flight risk dog I wouldn't trust the fence. That being said I have had many dogs here and have never had a problem because our yard is big enough. But I just want people to be aware 😊 Neighbors have a boxer, we had one incident where the boxer got free and ran up on a guest, this has happened once in 2 years, he is not aggressive but I am aware a lot of Sniffspot pups are dog reactive. I want to make this known so you can be aware and keep an eye out, again I have never had him run up on us, and have only had 1 guest tell me it happened in 2 years. You can park in our driveway so you are closer to the backyard gate.
