55My BFF, Rosie and I had a delightful visit at Stephanie’s SniffSpot. Rosie started with a zigzag zoom of the free space. Then we played fetch with an available tennis ball. That lasted for about 12 minutes of intense exercise. Rosie was content with walking around sniffing anything that seemed interesting to her. Rosie is a French Bulldog who’s almost 3 years old. I’ve never had a pet more curious than her and there is plenty to be curious about at this SniffSpot. Curt M.

55Mr. Sultan had a great time! So nice to let him run around off-leash without worrying about other dogs! He ran around like crazy- loved the ChuckIt, and humored me with trying out the various obstacles... Lol! Heather K.

55We love this spot. I have a very reactive rescue and even with a fence that you can see through there are no distractions. They have coverings on parts that do show things so I am very thankful for that. We love the chickens and keeps the puppies busy smelling. Morgan L.

55Had a great time per usual. My dog Jewel loves chasing her ball and walking around the perimeter of the fence with me once she's tired from playing fetch.Shanti K.

55Our first visit to Pawsitive Connection was filled with runs, agility fun, smells and more smells. The property was a great size, very secure, and extremely clean. Our pups were super intrigued with the sounds and smells coming from the animal friends (goats, chickens and a potbelly pig) grazing on the other side of the fence. They tuckered themselves out trying to get a better view and put a face to the sounds and smells. Torvi and Polaris approved and they would like to visit again soon!Holly J.

55Fenway had an amazing time! Tons of space to run around and checking out the agility course was a new experience for her! There were toys available, so my husband threw the various balls around for her to go chase. This was our first sniff spot experience and we will definitely be back! It was easy to find and there were lots of things to do!Briana K.

FAQ about our Elk 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.

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.
