We absolutely loved this place. The river is shallow enough on the bank to have our dog go in (that won’t swim) and tons of room to run around. Would absolutely recommend!
This spot has lots of options for your pup- open field, fenced area, or river walk!
We rented this sniff spot for a doggy birthday party. We had 12 doggy guests and 6 or 7 cars. There was plenty of parking. We had access to fenced and unfenced pastures. There was some old patches of horse poop so be ware. Only a couple of the dogs tried to snack on it. The river was beautiful and the dogs and people had blast. The host provided buckets for poop bags (B.Y.O.B.) and access to water.
There is a lot of space, however only one of the areas is fully fenced and it’s got quite a bit of blackberry bushes and other foliage that makes it difficult for pups to run around. The two other spaces have cable wire that dogs will easily get out of if they don’t have recall. The water would be very nice if it was warm enough. There are also horses that boarder one of the areas and there is no divider that would prevent a dog from getting into the pasture. Theres also no signage for the sniffspot. It felt as though we were in the wrong spot and in some random persons driveway. Thankfully Rena provided her phone number and asked us to let her know when we were there, otherwise we probably would’ve left. Overall, if you have a dog with recall that isn’t reactive, it would probably be a great spot.
Such a fun spot! Looking forward to visiting again!
Great spot! Has several areas to frolic in!
Such a beautiful spot. Rena was very helpful and my pup had the best time. We will definitely be back soon!
Great host! We had a lot of fun exploring. Just watch your dogs if they don’t have great recall, but my dogs do so we did well in this environment.
This is a great spot. There are a number of options. Since my Sniffspoter is reactive to other dogs we opted to start in the fully fenced area to run off some initial energy. This area is not bordered by other pasture. Then on leash we followed the short trail down to the Sandy River and splashed around a bit. After the water play we followed the short loop to the other end of the property, by the barn (there were horses but my dog did not react) and back to the original fenced area for a game of fetch with a prized stick she found. The trail and I believe river frontage at the end of the trail are part of this private property. We headed back up to the entrance and loaded up. Next time I will bring her long lead so we can explore with a little more freedom other areas that are available, but not fully fenced. We had the area to ourselves the whole time. Rena has asked her neighbors, who she kindly lets walk her property, to not walk there when there are Sniffspot visitors. She has communicated the time frames the Sniffspot may be in use. This will also be a great place this summer for some swimming. It is possible you could meet the neighbors and their dogs, who are adjacent along the edge of the property, but there is so much property available as a Sniffspot visitor it shouldn’t be hard to manage if you have a dog reactive dog like mine. My dog has good recall etc. but as a precaution for her reactivity I would opt to keep her on her very long lead outside the fenced area just in the event we were to encounter the neighbors dogs. I think it is very unlikely you would encounter them. My dog is not reactive in the sense she will approach a dog and start a fight but if a dog with a lot of energy comes up to her she can react. Rena mentioned it is ok to be off leash at the river. I think this would be an amazing option for most dogs. The Sandy River has a strong current but there is a shallow area separated from the main river. Not sure if it is there year round but it was nice to see. Rena met us on our first visit and showed us around which was great.
You have a few fenced options to choose from. One none fenced area has river access. The dogs enjoyed running around , chasing each other. Lots of things sniff.
