55What a great park! Carol and Rick truly make an effort to make the place inviting for both dogs and owners. The park was clean and full of toys for my pup to enjoy! We will definitely be going back! Natalie H.

55As usual, this place is our most fave. Tons of space for the pup to roam, and always well kept up. Lots of places for us with 2 legs to sit and toys galore for the dogs. Thank you again for opening up your property for us! Tiffany A.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot. After nearly 2 hours here, I have one super happy, exhausted pup! Great setup - water, toys, tunnel, etc. and several nice spots for humans to relax too. Carol was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely go back!Susan H.

55This is a really fantastic secure place for dogs that have dog aggression and socialization skills. It is almost impossible to find a place to hike or get out anymore where my dog won't encounter unleashed dogs and a potential fight. It was so relaxing to not worry about other dogs and the added bonus of unleashing my dog to sniff and roam was really such a treat. Its a beautiful little spot as well. Thank you!Melaine Z.

55My dogs were all three excited to explore and wander off leash. Very secure! Loved the pool to cool them off on a warm day! Just enough shade to keep them from getting too hot. Lots of benches to sit on. Khaya loved the natural sticks to chase!Traci S.

55This was such a nice spot to visit! Lots of room for our dogs to run around and play fetch. The terrain is pretty hilly, but not dangerously so, and it made for good exercise for all of us—dogs and humans. Very thoughtful touches, including benches and chairs for humans to take a break, toys and treats for dogs, and multiple places where they provide poop bags and trash cans. It looked pretty tidy—poop was picked up. And the surroundings were really pretty. Super friendly and kind owner, too. Erin B.

55Great spot to take the dogs for a fun afternoon of running around. We did try to grill but the wasps came out as soon as we opened the food. A bummer, but still a great trip! Clean property, a nice mix of trees and open with a pretty view. Allison S.

55My dog and his friend had a blast! The area is well kept and thoughtfully set up with a couple of different pick up stations with bags provided in case you forget your own. The host is friendly and welcoming. We’ll be back!Crystal C.

55We had such a wonderful time! Carol came out to visit for a bit, with wonderful conversation. She also had a water jug and bowl out, treats and toys in one of the many benches on the property, and some fun obstacle course activities for the dogs. We were very impressed and happy to have our dogs run in a safe space. We will return for sure. Melissa O.

55We loved carols setup. Everything you could want was there. Doggy doo bags. Trash cans, water and a bowl, multiple places to sit, toys, treats, fire hydrants for dogs to check out and ambiance, agility equipment, impeccable fencing and even a wasp and fly trap we saw hung up so the space is very free of those. She came out and stayed long enough for our younger dog to calm down and have a good introduction. Tamara B.

55Great spot to let my dog run! He is a rescue that missed out on early socialization, so this place was perfect for off-leash training! There were a couple other dogs that came near the fence, but they came from another field and crossed a road (something that no host would be able to control). However, fencing was great, I wasn't concerned, and it actually helped with distraction training. Amber C.

55We absolutely loved this place! John and his wife were so sweet and welcoming. The dogs had a lot of fun running and exploring. The trails had cute names and there were many new things for our dogs to experience, like seeing farm animals and playing in the water. Ana A.

55Our favorite Sniffspot. It has nearly everything our dogs love- water, woods, open areas. And wonderful hosts and farm animals. The stream and sandy banks are great for swimming and play, the woods trails are lovingly cared for, and you can get some good exercise walking up the hill.Kate S.

55We come here a lot and always have such an amazing time. John & Stephanie are the absolute best hosts imaginable and the Sniffspot is a dog's dream. We are always discovering something new here. I find 2 hours gives us just enough time to explore all the trails, splash in the creek and play. My boy leaves very happy after every visit and is completely content the rest of the day. Really excellent spot! Susan D.

FAQ about our Clarkston 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.
