55Tony's yard was wonderful! It was very well maintained and safe for my dogs. It was the first time they had ever seen or interacted with agility equipment. I felt that all the equipment was safe for my dogs to use.Brianna T.

55This place is amazing! Very secure, quiet, and HUGE fenced yard in great condition. We didn’t encounter any other animals or people on the adjacent trail or in other backyards, which was awesome for my reactive girl. I will warn anyone looking to book here though— bugs are BAD already (it is right next to a creek and with plenty of trees), so bring bug spray and be prepared. Rebekah F.

55Perfect spot! Easy access and parking. Tilly loves agility so the chance to practice outside and also then have lots of fun sniff-ari time was most welcome. She was so happy which made me happy! Thank you so much to the host!Laura and Ric M.

55Nice large yard in a beautiful setting on the creek. Tons of toys and agility equipment, but my dog was more interested in just sniffing around :) A much less stressful way to get her some exercise and not have to deal with strange dogs at the dog park! Thank you! Angie T.

55Great as always! Love the privacy screens blocking the walking trail from view. Loved the agility equipment out for the summer and my dog was brave enough to try them out! Gus gave it a 10/10 for sniffability!Gabby T.

55Fergie and I had a wonderful time tonight. I'm so glad there was a larger kiddie pool because she's all about the water! I don't know if you can or not but would love to be able to get in the creek that's over the fence. We brought our own Chuckit toy but there were already three of them there plus other balls and Frisbees. Fergie wanted nothing to do with the agility course but will try again next time because we will definitely be back! This place is beautiful. We saw an albino squirrel and a deer when we first got there! We played fetch for an hour and now she's in the backseat snoozing away on the way home! Thank you for the great spot Tony!Julie B.

55This is our first visit to a Sniff Spot, so we have nothing to compare it to, but we thought it was great! Nice large fenced in area with agility equipment, plenty of water and clean bowls. Huck had a great time checking out the area and chasing toys we brought with us. We definitely plan to go back. Thanks for sharing opening up your amazing play area for others to visit!Denise M.

55This is a fantastic space and was our first experience with Sniff Spot. The directions were clear and the house is signed well. The space is quite large, has tons of activities and even had water and water bowls available. Everything is organized well, and it exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back. Jennifer G.

55Great place! The road noise is actually a plus for one of our dogs, and the privacy fabric on the public path fence is perfect. Lots of space to run with toys and agility equipment to keep the dogs occupied. We appreciated the bowls and fresh water. We’ll be back! Diana C.

55This spot was perfect and even better than expected! It was well kept and tidy. Our dog loved the agility equipment. It was also shady and a little breezy, which made it so enjoyable! It is right next to a charming creek. We will definitely be back! Jane R.

55This was the first time for my dog interacting with another dog.
I couldn’t have asked for a better place.
It’s a nice and secluded area and so big that my dog was able to run everywhere.
I will definitely be coming back Joost D.

FAQ about our Big Lake dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
