55This spot was perfect for both humans and doggies. There’s wonderful, restful spots for the humans and lots of things to sniff and places to hide and run for the doggies. We had been looking for a place where we could go on trails with our dogs and this one fit that bill and then some! The host is super friendly and informative, and we will return to this spot soon!

55We had a wonderful morning at this fantastic SniffSpot! Very safely fenced, Host even showed us around the property in an UTV to show us the security of the property. His livestock and livestock guardian dog are visible but a) a safe distance away (only visible at front of property) and b) safely contained. Host was helpful and answered any questions we had. We will be back. Our dogs loved exploring the trails. If you have dogs that like to run like us, we recommend getting a bell to attach to your collar as it is densely wooded in spots, gave anxious owners like us peace of mind! Gabrielle L.

55My dogs loved to run around the trail area and look at the sheep in the nearby field. The property was well kept with lots of cooler shady areas. My dogs also loved to lay in the water troughs to cool off after each lap. Definitely worth the drive from Jax to give the dogs a large area to run around!Rachel P.

55We love drives out to the country with our dogs and this is a nice one! Wendy’s place is perfect for wide-open running and lizard hunting too! The shade trees are spaced throughout the property which is nice. While well-fenced, I tend to think this spot is currently best for medium and large dogs - not so much little ones or puppies. Our dogs used their own ice water and poop bags. Thanks to Wendy for sharing her lovely property, we look forward to visiting again!Meredith K.

FAQ About Hilliard 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.
