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.

55We loved being able to use the agility gear! I have been looking for a place that has this so I am so grateful to have found this spot! There is lots of space and the creek behind the yard is a pretty view. We got bitten by bugs so bring your bug spray!Adriana H.

55Great place for our three puppers! Thank you so much! They had so much fun sniffing everything around the whole, huge perimeter, running, eating grass, and marking up a storm for other dogs to discover. Lol. Thank you for the fresh water jugs and for providing bags, a covered trash can, balls to throw, and agility equipment. It was clean and safe. Our dogs are all tired out now. We'll definitely be back! Thanks!Heidi B.

55This is the best! Large space for my pup to wander, great equipment, lots of smells and things for my pup to investigate. We spent only 45 mins here and he was exhausted from all the exploring. Danielle R.

55Always a blast at Rice Creek Sniff Spot! Our reactive dog has an amazing time trying out the equipment and sniffing all of the smells. Yard is huge. We’ve been here so often my dog recognizes the street and gets so excited Stefania P.

55I love this place! I’m very jealous of this backyard! If you have a dog who is nervous about various noises be mindful of University Ave traffic sounds. My dog doesn’t care for semi’s but he recovers quickly in this oasis in the city!Karen O.
