55This was such a great spot for my dog and I. The trampoline is pretty fun and there is a good amount of area to walk with your dog and get in the water. My dog loved this :). Carolina V.

55Love this sniff spot! It is my dog, Wally’s favorite! Tons of space and mostly fenced. There is a tree covered so even spots not fenced, feel closed off! Dani F.

55Great spot for almost any kind of dog. Our dog isn't the best with recall, but we were never really worried about him getting away with the amount of space to cover, and also the creek acted like a fence for him since he's scared of water. Also, the spot was essentially free from distractions, it was nice and peacefully quiet. We didn't meet Chip in person, but he was very friendly over messages and was very accommodating in terms of being flexible with visitation times, since the appointments around us were canceled (due to forecasted inclement weather).Shane T.

55I’m not sure which I was more impressed with: Chip or his property. This spot was 15 minutes from our Crieve Hall home. It was beautiful. I was looking for a place to train and play. Our yard is unfenced and Beckett is a pup. There was a fire pit, wood, bags, toys, a trampoline, picnic tables, chairs. I arrived at 6:00 a.m. on a cold, wet morning. It was still wonderful. There is a creek (looks more like a river) running along the property. Fabulous. I was flaky, scattered and not my usual self due to an unexpectedly busy week. Chip was tolerant, flexible, and kind. His communication skills are unrivaled. Highly recommend. Melissa C.

55Cooper and I thoroughly enjoyed this SniffSpot. There was so much room to run and plenty of space that it never got redundant. The creek was nice for him to get in to cool off also. Chip was very easy to communicate with and super hospitable. We can’t wait to come back again!Warren D.

55ALWAYS a pleasure to return here. Such special memories created. My dog couldn’t have been happier swimming in the beautiful and chilly creek this time around. Love that there is a small creek and large creek. And Chip is always so communicative and welcoming.Nicolette G.

55We’ve been to this sniffspot twice now, and it is an amazing setup. We have a Vizsla that needs serious exercise and this property has tons of room and a great mix of terrain (grass, taller brush, and a small creek) for him to sniff and explore. Highly recommend visiting this spot.Luca B.

55This is a great place to take our dog. She and we were easily entertained by the tennis ball. Lily loved chasing the ball. She also enjoyed running on the property. There is lots of room for several dogs in your group. I like the fact that only one group at a time can book. We, especially Lily, had fun. Ann G.

55This space was absolutely beautiful!! Unfortunately, my dog has some fear issues and we didn’t get to stay longer than 5 minutes. He was a bit spooked by the other dogs you could see and hear in the house and another neighbor with his dog in his backyard. Once my pup gets a bit more brave, we’ll definitely try this spot again.Shanika G.

FAQ about our Smithville dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
