55I’m so glad we found this gem of a place. We went there mainly for the indoor dog playground, but found so much more than we expected. They have a full array of items you could possibly need for your dog, including food items, toys, supplements, collars, leashes, and grooming products. And Terra is such a treasure, with a wealth of knowledge about anything and everything about dogs, from training to nutrition, etc. And more importantly, she was kind enough to share them with us, even off her regular working hours. After a brief discussion, she was able to recognize my concerns and frustration about what’s going on with our dog, and offered recommendations to help us get on the right track. Her holistic approach is so very much appreciated. I only wish we found this place, and met Terra sooner.
55Great indoor play area! Friendly staff and great treat options
55It was a really cool space that allowed my dog to experience new things (a tunnel, a herding ball, and a baby doll/stroller) and enjoy old favorites (fetch and unique smells). We will check it out again.
55My dog Oliver and I came in for the first time and loved it! We were introduced to the facility and were told what we could do to play. Terra was very patient and knowledgeable, and helped to explain some of the problems I have with Oliver when we go out and I’m so grateful for the help and advice. We will be returning for more playtime and for some of the other services the facility offers.
55Great place! My husky’s favorite feature was the scent wall and we had fun chasing each other and playing tag in the back area. This place may be more suitable for smaller dogs, but it is a great option for when the weather isn’t cooperative.
55I am so pleased with our visit to this new indoor Sniffspot. The staff was accommodating and helpful, and the place was very clean. When I arrived, I was a little concerned because the parking lot was full and the facility is next to a busy restaurant with dogs on the patio. I left my reactive GSD in the car so I could check things out and make arrangements to bring him in. The staff had a cat and two other dogs in the lobby/store side. I expressed how difficult it would be for my dog and the staff member made especially arrangements for us to use the rear entrance. Her dogs were so well behaved and quiet that my dog was totally fine and had a great time! Charlie loved the all the balls, especially the big blue one that he herded around the facility. We did some training too. I would highly recommend this spot and we will definitely be back. While there I even checked out a book in their library and purchased some really good dog food and treats. I heard a couple people speak very highly of the owner and dog trainer Terra, who offers training classes for reactive dogs. Thanks for opening your place up to us! See ya soon.
55My foster pup had fun exploring and playing. She was nervous about the slide and the tunnel when we first arrived, but had mastered them both by the end of the hour. She also loved the ball pit and all the different enrichment scents were cool. Thanks! We’ll be back. This is an especially great spot for rainy days.
55This was a great place for us to stretch our legs on a rainy day. It was a perfect place to get some training in too. I highly recommend!
55Absolutely love coming to visit Paws N Play! There are lots of scents for doggies to smell and lots of balls for them to chase. My dog loves coming here and I love how tired he always is afterwards. The owner is amazing and extremely knowledgeable on dogs.
55We had a blast! Lots of fun equipment, and very clean. The larger back room was open for us which was perfect as our dog is larger, and this gave us plenty of space for her to chase a ball and to work on some training. Very friendly store employee as well and Terra checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Description

Welcome to our exclusive Sniffspot, nestled inside a boutique Canine Community Center, where every dog is celebrated! We’re more than just a play area; we offer a treasure trove of food, supplies, activities, and supplements—many of which you won’t find anywhere else. As a dedicated dog trainer, I know the value of a good practice space. That’s why we’ve created an ideal environment for both group classes and private lessons, especially for our furry friends who find regular pet stores overwhelming. Our Sniffspot, located within our pet retail and dog wash center, is designed with your dog’s needs in mind. What We Offer: • A safe, welcoming space for all dogs, including those with severe behavioral issues. Reactive dogs can enter through the back to ensure a comfortable experience. • Attentive staff ready to provide the space and respect your dog needs. • A rotating selection of engaging play items, including a ball pit (transitioning to a digging pit), tree and train setups for brain games, treat dispensers, and an electric treat roller for endless fun. • An intriguing scent wall featuring deer tail, rabbit fur, pheasant fur, horse hair, and cat fur to stimulate your dog’s natural instincts (items subject to change based on availability). Plus, for those looking to refine their pup’s manners around felines, our resident cat is dog-friendly and an excellent distraction trainer! Special Offer: For the next two months, book your playtime for just $10 an hour! This is the perfect opportunity to explore the full potential of our facility. Expand your session to the entire center when no classes are scheduled, and enjoy off-leash recall training or simply have a joyful time with your dog. Reserve your spot today and transform your training and play sessions into extraordinary experiences at our Canine Community Center. Your dog’s adventure awaits!
