Our doggie loved every minute here!! Her nose was too the ground 99% of the time with all the sniffs and the other 1% was enjoying swimming in the pond. We will definitely be back!!

We had a blast at this Sniffspot and we will definitely be back. Loved the open area for the dogs to run, the pond for them to swim in with the creek and the trails. Definitely a great spot if your dog can handle being off leash or on a long line.

Awesome space for my newly adopted dog. He is a runner so I had him on a 20 ft leash. But he could roam free still with no other chance encounters with dogs. I also wanted to see how he would do in the water. He loved the creek and the pond. Highly recommend this place

This was our first Sniff Spot. Really loved it. Our hound is reactive so it was nice to be able to walk knowing we didn’t need to worry about encountering others. Our dogs loved the creek!

All was as described! My dogs had a great time. There was a cute station with poop bags and toys. The property ran kinda nearby the interstate, and I wish I had known if there was a fence between the property and interstate to ensure safety when letting my dogs off leash. But that may have been more my anxiety than an actual safety concern!

Such a great spot! We brought our senior Great Dane and our little pittie to swim in the pond and play in the creek - and they had THE BEST time! The property was easy to find, clean, private, and safe. It is not fenced so we just kept them on long lines, and it was the perfect spot!

Beautiful property and plenty of space for your dog to run free. We had so much fun. We were able to train recall, do leash training, and Chanel enjoyed several trips through the water.
We will definitely visit again!

This was our first ever sniff spot and my dog loved it!! We stayed mostly around the creek and the trails. She was obsessed with playing in the water at the creek!! Glad I wore some rain boots! Directions were easy to follow and no other animals or people around while we were there so it was perfect. We will definitely be back!

This was a wonderful place for the pups to play. They adored the creek! Very clean, pretty. We’ll visit again! Thank you.

This place is absolutely amazing and just what was needed to exercise our two Aussies who are water dogs. We stayed right around the creek area, and the dogs would go up the small hill and run around in the grass area, then right back to the creek. We will 100% be back.

My dog loved having the chance to roam and swim off leash without worries. It’s hard to find a place for him to play all his energy away without overheating in the summertime. We both had a really nice time and will definitely be back! The hosts even have some toys and poop bags to use if you forget something at home.

This was such a great area for Zoe to swim, run around and catch the frisbee! Unfortunately, she lost her frisbee in the pond, but hopefully it turns up for other dogs to play with.

It was nice to let our dogs off the leash to swim in the pond! There's some trails and a creek too. Nice place!

This place is awesome! My dogs loved racing up and down the trails, and splashing in the creek. My big swimmer took a few leaps into the pond and we all had a really good time. Thanks for such a fun spot!

What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks
Many hosts have added water features like pools and/or are nearby lakes or rivers.
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.
