55Always a great experience! My dogs know where we are when we turn off the exit and get so excited! Great if you have a reactive dog. No people or dogs around. Very few cars pass by. Quiet and just a wonderful place to allow your dogs the freedom to run and explore safely.
55An amazing spot to bring your dog(s) and let them have some amazing off leash time. The dog barn and fans are a huge plus for some shade and a place to cool off for everyone (dogs and humans) in the summer heat. 11/10 do recommend.
55Lovely place, my dog had a great time on her 5th birthday!
55We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Dog Barn during our visit! Niko was thrilled to play with the horses the entire time, and really searched the fence for holes to get to them so we can attest to the security of the fence :) the bath station was a wonderful added touch to clean up a wet puppy after his frolic. We will absolutely return for another visit!
55Such a wonderful experience!! We had the best time at the Dog Barn. My dogs are apartment dogs, so being able to let them roam such a large space was a lot of fun. There were fans to stay cool and a shaded area to sit and relax while the dogs ran around. The dog bath accessibility after they got dirty playing was a nice touch and much appreciated. Thank you for everything!! We will definitely be coming back!
55Always a relaxing and wonderful day at the dog barn! If you are new to Sniffspot, this little slice of doggy heaven will spoil you to all other sniff spots! So relaxing doe dogs and humans and so much safe Space for pups to play and explore.
55Easy to access and very nice facilities. Loved the dog wash station.
55We drove all the way from Georgia and what a beautiful location. Host is immensely accommodating and we can't wait to come back.
55Lovely place, have toys for your dogs and nice hang out spot for the humans
55Always a fun time!

10 Acre (almost entirely) Fenced Private Pasture off of 119

Partially Fenced
10 acres

We live on 20 acres and once we close our driveway gate, it is 98% fenced. You would have access to the 10 acres of pasture we have that is technically fully fenced but has a couple of spots a super sneaky dog could slip through, so you need to stay nearby or keep an eye on them when they are off-leash. 90% of that area has chicken wire on the fence so they can't get out easily. The only portion that doesn't have chicken wire is up at the top where you enter. And a couple spots on corners where a dog super eager to get out probably could. Our dogs will be in our house during your scheduled time so there will not be other dogs. The neighbors have horses but they are on the other side of the fence- so just keep an eye that your dog doesn't someone wiggle through. We recommend staying on the mowed "paths". Our dogs run through the tall grass and try to hunt field mice and squirrels. We have seen snakes but thankfully have never had a dog bitten in the two years we have lived here. Give us a call if you see a venomous snake as we'd like to get rid of them. This spot is available between 9am-11:30am and 2pm-6:30. If you would like to request a time outside of those windows, let me know and we will see if it's possible. You start at the top of a hill and walk down so this would not be a good spot for someone with limited mobility.
