55I cannot express how much fun my dogs had! The fence line was perfect and we loved the bridges and going in the stream, even though it was a chilly day. It was exactly as described! We will be back! The host was prompt in her responses to me. Michelle S.

55My dog had a wonderful time, running through the woods, rolling in the creek and doing zoomies! It was great to see her enjoying herself so much. And great job on the fencing…I was impressed that you managed to fence off the creek where it ended at the property line. Also really appreciated the water at the entrance so I could hose my dog off. We’ll be back!Laura G.

55Another wonderful visit! We spotted a few of Santa’s reindeer in the woods today. No, we actually took our pictures for our Christmas cards today. Thanks again for letting our boys run, sniff, and splash in the water. You’re property is amazing! Andrea B.

55Had a great time with my two pups - so nice to let my big dog have off leash time in the “woods” but secure knowing it is fenced and he can’t run off chasing a deer or squirrel!Erin G.

55Best Sniffspot EVER!!! My pups had so much room to run around and loved the creek. Definitely needed a bath afterwards but it was well worth it!! I was a little worried that I would be stressed if my dogs got out of my sight since the property is so large, but it's extremely secure and I had no issues at all. morgan m.

55The farm continues to be our favorite Sniffpost. We booked it for 3 hours and the dogs ran, played in the creek, and smelled all the scents the whole time. My husband and I picked up food and had a picnic while the dogs played. There are plenty of trails for dogs and humans. I say this every time, but I wish we lived closer.
Hosts is very friendly and a great communicator! Andrea B.

FAQ about our Gainesville 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Gainesville area are 5 stars.
