55My dog had a great time here! The area was fully enclosed and nicely shaded which led to me and my dog having a fun and relaxed time!
55What a dream for my pups and I! So much room to play and sniff. It was a pretty hot day so they didn’t run as much as they usually do - but that just meant I had a chance to relax. Kristie was super communicative and even allowed me to bring ok a back to back slot since I drove about 55 minutes to get there. Highly recommend and will 100% be back.
55Super easy to get to, the signage was very helpful and we loved having the single parking spot. Thank you Kristie for having us at your sniff spot and giving us peace of mind when unleashing our pup!
55We've visited twice now, and think it's a lovely spot. There is much room to run around, plenty of water, and of course, lots to sniff. Kristie is also a very nice and communicative host. There are a couple of chickens visible and we have heard the neighbors' dogs barking once. We think these are great opportunities for our dog Walnut to learn. I would highly recommend this sniff spot.
55Very secure spot with lots of space to sniff and roam. My pups loved running up and down the big hill. Lots of fresh water and enough shade too. We will be back!
55It was a great place for my dogs to run and play in the pool lots of space and owners were super nice and very helpful. I would totally bring my dogs there again.
55This was our first visit to a Sniff Spot. My dog definitely enjoyed lots of sniffing and exploring. The perimeter had nice shade. We went mid-day in July so it was pretty hot, but there was plenty of water and shady areas. In the future if I go in summer I would go earlier or in the evening to avoid the heat. The owners were very nice and helpful. It was nice to get away from the concrete jungle.
55Big open space for my pup to play with his herding ball, fetch, and just sniff around! Beautiful weather in the early am as well!
55Beautiful location, easy access, well maintained. Fresh water, kiddie pool, lots of room to roam. Great location for free run and off-lead training. Owners were responsive and very gracious. Would highly recommend!
55Great property, clean drinking water and secure fencing. My dog loved checking out the local farm animals.

My neighbors prefer it. **BARKERS: My neighbors are starting to complain about excessive barking. If your dog is extremely vocal, this spot may not be the best choice. Normal and light barking is totally fine. I personally don't care, the barking doesn't bother me but I back up to neighbors on all sides. ((Especially if you choose morning or late afternoon hours) Digging is ok in the small fenced area to the right and water is available. Plenty of seating for humans.
