Beautiful spot! Will be back!

A super sniffspot! So many sniffs and sticks. Jäger managed to find the lake within minutes. With the horrible ticks this year - it was obviously we’d have quite a few to deal with. Be sure to check your pup over! ❤️

This spot is amazing. I have a reactive dog so to feel that I can go to a spot where she can be free, sniff, and run around without the fear of encountering another dog is the best feeling. We have happy and tired pups!

BEST PLACE EVER! This is exactly what we needed for our very high energy Samoyed. He’s not neutered so dog parks are not a good fit for us. He absolutely loved the freedom! Thank you Stacy for being so awesome! Highly highly recommend!!!

We just love this Sniff Spot. It has some long open spaces perfect for big fetching, but also patches of trees and brush that are awesome for Kya to sniff out the scents of critters. Grateful that the owners share their beautiful property this way.

Easy to find, beautiful and well maintained space. Our dogs had such a great time running, sniffing, and exploring the woods and the paths. We did see a neighbor's dog briefly along the other side of the fence which my reactive dog wouldn't have been happy about so we kept to the far side of the space. Really appreciated the trash bin! I'm sure we will be back, thank you!

Such a peaceful idyllic spot! We loved relaxing in the swing and walking through the trials while our dog explored the area! Highly recommend. It’s very clean and well kept.

This place has truly been a gift for our pup who's reactive on a leash. As a beagle mix, she's endless content to sniff every inch of the field for critters!

Love this space. They really put a lot of thought into it. My dogs were totally worn out at the end and loved it.

What a lovely spot- thank you! Tree cover and open areas. Trails intersecting through the middle or walk the perimeter. Very clean. Can’t wait to go back!

We had SO MUCH fun at this sniffspot. From the thoughtful directions and signs for where to park and enter, to the seating area for humans, to the incredible beauty of the area, I would give this place 10 stars if I could! The fence was in perfect condition and exactly as described, and my pup had a blast being able to run for so long with so many great places to sniff. This place is a gem, and we will definitely be back!

We’ve had Shandy for 3 years and this was the first time we could confidently have her off-leash in an open area. She was in heaven! Running and romping with so much to explore. Stacy’s park is gorgeous and well-maintained with lots of thoughtful touches (covered tent, seating, fresh water, toys and sanitizer). It was absolutely perfect and we can’t wait to return.

Mary Kate R.

This space is amazing! Perfect for our reactive boy. We just moved here from out of state, in an area SniffSpot was not very active, and we used a similar space that a local woman rented out privately. We’re so excited to have this here now! It is beautifully kept, has secure fences, and was easy to find. We will definitely be back!

This was the most fun my pup has had in years! The yard is very well-maintained with plenty of spots for running and sniffing. The fence is very secure and definitely gave me peace of mind. We will definitely be coming back soon!!

Fantastic site with meandering pathways and plenty of shade. I walked about 1.3 miles myself. The sniffspot was immaculate with everything you need; toys, water, bowl, bug spray, doggie bags etc. My dogs enjoyed being off leash and when tired they lay down in the shade while I sat in a swing seat. Great place...will definitely be back.

Samuel R.

Absolutely amazing! My reactive doggo had an amazing opportunity to run around and explore so many different smells without me having any fears of having a stressful moment. Lots of little paths that lead to a new tiny tree patch to sniff through. -plus water a few toys to share and doggy waste can. 100% recommend and will be back!

Kelly W.

We loved it here! Lots of space for the dogs to sniff and run around in a relatively quiet neighborhood area. The entire fence seemed very secure, so nice to have peace of mind for the safety of the dogs. Looking forward to next time!

Lovely spot!! Everything was very well kept and the pup had a great time checking it all out. We will be back for sure
