55Thank you Mary! Absolutely beautiful property with much to explore! The dogs had a blast running down the paths and interacting with the chickens, and we will definitely be back! Only recommendation for other guests, would be to bring drinking water for your dogs. There was a plastic pool for rinsing off the pups, but no separate clean drinking water. A map with the general layout of the property could also be helpful Dina O.

55OH MY WORD!! 10/10 experience! This place is incredible- seriously can’t say enough good things. Beautiful, vast space for exploring, running, romping, and enjoying the outdoors. The size of the property was remarkable given that it’s fully fenced and I felt totally comfortable when my dogs ran ahead out of sight. Yes, there were nighbor dogs but they didn’t bark at us once and my dogs were able to totally ignore them. The host was so friendly and helpful, and my dogs (and myself) had such a lovely time that we’re making two trips in the same day. Definitely recommend, come see for yourself! Note- this place was easy to find if you follow the hosts directions exactly, she couldn’t make it clearer which was very helpful. Alexandra M.

55Absolutely a dog's dream. This is an awesome place to let the dogs just run loose and be happy. It's so large that at first I was a little nervous, but once I saw the entire property, I could see that it's very secure and safe for my wild and reactive dogs. There are lots of trails, grasses and trees; plenty of sniffing and exploring available. Even I enjoyed hiking around the property. I'm very envious of this beautiful property, but so grateful the owner is willing to share! My dogs had the time of their life and we will certainly be back. Trisha K.

55Such a wonderful spot! We’re so grateful to Mary Ann for sharing her yard with us. It’s hard to find safe ways to let our reactive dog roam freely and just be a dog, but this SniffSpot allowed for exactly that. Highly recommend! Conley K.

55Beautiful spot! The host was great and very responsive to my request to put all animals out of sight for our visit. Pepperoni had a great time, and gave me a workout trying to keep up with him on the trails! Mckenna J.

55The sniff spot was a fall dream! I might have enjoyed it more than the dogs :)
I parked and went down the steep stairs to the left. The owners dogs were visible behind a sliding glass door but my dogs were too interested in the yard to care. We kept away from the one neighbor's fence line since I thought they might have dogs out, but didn't really see/hear any. All in all, it was a great visit and I plan on coming back soon! Jessi C.

55Amazing as always. The host is very hospitable and friendly, and very sweet to my rambunctious dobermans. My dogs just love it here and get so excited when they realized where they are. I also enjoy getting my exercise here as well, running up and down the hills and trails with my pups. Trisha K.

55My dog had a blast running through the the trails. He was having so much fun he even jumped into the treehouse and then couldn’t figure out immediately how to get back down. Luckily he scrambled his way back! The sniffspot seems bigger than the description states! Very clean and well maintained!
The host is such a kind lady. Great communication! Thanks so much!

55Daisy (4 yr old golden) had the Best Time Ever!!! She ran so much and so hard!!!
The property is fantastic! Lots of paths and open spaces-great for any and all pups!
We played with the chuck-it and chased balls as they rolled down the sloping lawn.
We explored every corner, every pocket. Smelled every tree, bush, and plant.
Said hello to the chickens who were surprisingly okay with my dog’s interest in them.
Daisy ran, explored, and smelled everything! She was absolutely exhausted as soon as we loaded back up in the car. Slept all the way home and into the evening/night-only to wake up for dinner then back out like a light!
Gorgeous fall colors and the plentiful assortment of flora and fauna to keep the humans well entertained as well!
We can’t wait to visit again!!!
If you haven’t had the chance to visit this property yet-I HIGHLY recommend it!!! You won’t be disappointed!Taunya E.

55My dog and I had a great time at Huckleberry Acres. My boy is very reactive, but Mary Ann tucked in her pups and chickens and everything went well. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful grounds and Louie followed every trail and had a blast. Thank you, Mary Ann and your family, for sharing this wonderful spot with us!Gail W.

55Boy I hate to even talk about how wonderful this place is in case it makes it so we can’t get back there as often as we want. But what a wonderful place. And what a wonderful host. This property feels way larger than 2 acres. It is fully fenced and completely safe. So I was able to enjoy the time walking around and exploring without having to keep my dogs under strict voice control. There are so many different features for the dogs to explore. Mine enjoyed sprinting along the trails, rolling around on the grass, and investigating all the interesting smells. Oh and they really enjoyed the chickens. The chickens were utterly unmoved lol Gemma Z.

FAQ about our Elma small dog parks
Are small dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Elma?
There are 50 small dog parks in the Elma area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
