55Amazing and beautiful space!! Our pup loved it, she was so happy to run around and chase the birds. There is shade, seating, water, toys, and everything you need. Flat well-kept grass and secure fence. Thank you so much!
55Great visit, as always!
55Our first time and spot and it was great! Loved the space, very tidy, toys available, water, spots to sit. Saw other dogs and horses but our dogs didn’t react which is great as we have a dog that usually does react but I think the space was the perfect spot for him. We will be back!
55The perfect Sniffspot! A kind a communicative host, absolutely stunning space, and so many thoughtful extras to make for the best experience! We will definitely be back!
55Very clean and spacious with lots of toys and a fun doggy pool! Our pups had a blast!
55We love this sniff spot almost as much as Dexter does. The wildlife and horses are such an added bonus. Thank you!
55We took our two schnauzers here for the first time today, and I cannot imagine a better sniff spot! They wore themselves out running to their hearts' content on the three fenced acres that are very well tended to. And Kris has thought of everything: Water, shade, toys, some agility equipment, and even a portable-potty for the humans. The sight is well marked and there is a designated gravel parking space just beside the entry gate. I truly cannot say enough good things about this sniff spot -- we will be back frequently for more dog fun!!!
55The most incredible spot!
55Great spot! Clean, fresh water and sun shade was perfect for the humans
55Such a good spot! It was gorgeous in the morning and we were able to beat the heat. The dogs loved it and so did we!

Cleanliness

Hazards

Cocklebur seeds have shown up in the grass by the wetland. Not advised for long hair dogs. This is a farm, so livestock and livestock “byproducts” are inevitable. Also, farms in winter can be wet and muddy. As well, the island is a migratory bird wildlife refuge, so “byproducts” from sand hill cranes, herons, geese, ducks, etc are also inevitable. No ticks have been found here to date. Additionally, reactive and working dogs may not be able to share fence line with livestock, and unless you request otherwise, livestock may be adjacent. Please note, this is a working farm community as well as wildlife refuge. There is a muddy wetland, there may be farm equipment, heavy trucks on rural highway, neighbors dogs, livestock, deer and other wildlife- evaluate your dog’s bandwidth to create the best experience.

Extras

Extra info$0
