55We live in an Apartment and have a Dog Park but its pretty small.
I have an Anatolian Shepherd puppy ( Jonah)
And a 14 year old Black Mouth Curr mix (Jill))
So they are both pretty big Dogs.
Eveytime the Shepherd tries to run he has to put on the brakes just as soon as he gets going.
I can't remember where I heard/read about Sniff Spot App but I/we are So Grateful that we did!!!
I have shopped for about a month and looked at all sorts of options.
I was really looking for an Acre or more with a fence big enough to keep my Bratts in.
I came across this Amazing place that had the fence, the space, and a TON of extra Ammenities!!!
I went to read the reviews and NOT 1 Bad review that I could find!! And I really search for those just incase there is a problem with something I'm really interested in.
Like I said nothing but Fantastic Reviews!!!
So I went ahead and booked a visit a week or so ago with the extras I wanted and EVEN the option for FRESH EGGS!!!! 🥚🍳
As the time came closer I looked at the westher and we were supposed to have Severe Thunderstorms.
So I reached out to host to express my concerns about the weather and asked if we could play it by ear or if I needed to reschedule for another day.
She was SUPER understanding and accommodating and said we could play it by ear.
I contacted her again last night (appointment was for today!) And asked if we could go ahead and reschedule for next weekend because it still looked bad last night. Again She was accommodating.
Well we woke up this morning and it was overcast but no rain. So AGAIN I messaged her and asked if we could go ahead and come out this morning..
Guess what she said......
Of course No problem!! How stinkin cool is that??
I would have been like, this lady is crazy and can't make up her mind!!
So not only is the Host the Coolest but her place is AMAZING!!!!
When we got there I walked the fence line to make sure it was all secure. It was Very secure!! I also looked for holes,, poop etc.. and none was to be found.. Very Clean!!!
So I let my Bratts loose and they weren't really sure if they could separate from me. Didn't take long and they were off!! I watched them for a bit to pick up their poo, (Mandy provided bags) but after that they went exploring. Lots of new stuff!
They have never seen Pigs and Chickens!! Jonah just barking and was very curious. Jill was trying to bite the wire fence......😏
After I got her attention on something else she was already exhausted!!! Im so glad her Critters were used to that because it would have broken my heart if we could never come back to this Oasis of space for my Bratts and Me because my Girl acted like a Heathen!!
After I felt comfortable letting them be I actually meditated on the deck in the center of property.
It was overcast and a great breeze was blowing. So Very peaceful for us ALL.
The kiddie pool was a Big success!!
Jonah is a Water Baby through and through and Jill even got in and layed down to cool off.
I set my phone alarm for 15 min before we were supposed to leave because I just knew it would take that long to round them up to go.
Boy was I wrong!!
I called them and they both came immediately, very slowly no fuss or mess.
They were EXHAUSTED!!!
So to close because I could go on and on about Mandy and her property and extras.
We will DEFINITELY BE BACK!!! ALOT!!!
We will probably try a night time so I can sit in front of the Fire Pit and look at stars
What an AMAZING, UNFORGETTABLE Time we had today!!!! And could NOT have asked for a better Host!!
The Bratts and I thank you so much Mandy for being so accommodating and your kind hospitality and welcoming us to your home/property!
You have made us Forever Renters as long as you allow us!!
Can't wait for our next visit!!
Jill and Jonah
P.S. Sorry abut the missing squeaky toy!! I forgot were I put it after hiding it from Mom.....

55I would recommend this location repeatedly. It is easy to access, secured and plenty of space to enjoy, on top of the extra add ons. We had a blast feeding the pigs & chickens, you also get a view of the cows and the spot is very quiet. The host provides essentials for your pet so you don't need to worry. Marc L.

55I loved it! The chicken and pigs are an excellent addition to the Sniffspot. The chickens and pigs are used to dogs, so no worries about your pups or them being scared. The owner is super friendly! They leave water, toys, and a bunch of other stuff for you and your pups. I would 100% visit again. Tony P.

55My pups and I had a great time! There was so much space for them to run around, and there wasn’t any way for them to escape. The host is also incredibly accommodating, with water for them to drink and toys for them to play with. After a couple hours there, my dogs are dead tired. We will be back again!Kora W.

55My pups had a great time. They were fascinated by the chickens and pigs and even though Summer was a little loud at times they didn’t seem to mind. The property was a little far from us but Mandy was great in communicating how to find the place and how to get inside. Summer and Ghost are definitely excited to go back! Karina F.

55Everything was great! If you have a reactive pup and are looking to start socializing them slowly, I highly recommend this spot. The potbelly pigs were honestly the sweetest and so full of gentle energy that both my boys were able to interact with them and not go over threshold. We did see one pup (and its owner across the street) but the fencing was very secure and they did not get too close. My only comment is regarding the gate…if you’re like me and you tend to miss obvious signs - the gate you open to get in is the one on the left - NOT the green one lol Keila R.

55Just went for the first time today. 10/10 Super easy to get to clear instructions. I was a little nervous because sometimes my dogs are escape artists but everywhere was secure I didn’t worry about them getting out at all. They loved the chickens and barking at the cows. Rosie K.

55If anyone has a reactive dog and is on the fence about SniffSpot - this is the place to go! My chocolate lab is a rescue and very cautious. He was skeptical at first, but once he saw that we were relaxed - he took off! I was a bit nervous about the farm animals, but he didn't seem to care that much and was more curious than threatened. The host was so incredibly sweet and left carrots out so my child could feed the pigs. The property is large, and there is plenty of space to run and smell and get all the sensory stimulation! - with that being said, there's a few places you can lose track of your dog but don't worry! My lab is literally Houdini and even he couldn't break out - but I don't think he wanted too! He had so much fun. If I could rate it more than 5 stars, I totally would. Cheyenne D.

55This place is mine and my pups fav hands down so quiet,secured, and well maintained for your dogs…literally peace of mind letting them go free without worrying if they are going to get out…the ride out is always chaos (the pups know the smell and flip out of happiness on our way out) the ride home they nap because they are pooped from all the running playing and freedom! A tired dog…is a good dog!! And I have 3 highly recommend trying this sniff spot out! Tiffany M.

55My dogs and I had a wonderful time. The place is very nice and well taken care of. Mandy was very nice and very communicative. I can’t wait to come back. My dogs really enjoyed seeing the farm animals, it was a first for them. Now they are going home tired and happy. Thank you Mandy! Felipa Q.

55Lovely big country yard, very well kept and with a very secure fence. Shade trees, sunny sections, a table and chairs (with a bug-zapper!) in a covered area in case of random showers. The dogs loved exploring new sniff spots, lots of chickens & even a couple of pot-bellied pigs. I was able to practice recall with my two Aussies when they were off-leash and off exploring new things. Lucky for me, they did come back when it was time to go! The dogs had a great time, I was happy. I’ll recommend Sunshine Acres and I’ll use them again myself. Thanks Mandy & Sniffspot! We needed this. (And I didn’t have to mow 😁)Judith S.

55We had a wonderful time playing with our doggos and look forward to visiting again! They enjoyed running around and checking out the chickens and pigs. This is a lovely spot for your doggos to roam, there’s plenty of shade with fresh water and a little pool for them to play in. I highly recommend it!Ashley S.

55I can't say enough good things about our experience at this Sniffspot! The host was incredibly responsive, sweet, and thoughtful, ensuring we had everything we needed and more for our time there. My dogs had an amazing time exploring the property, and they especially loved meeting the piggies and chickens—it was such a fun and unique experience! It's places like this that make such a difference, giving my older pups the chance to act like puppies again and enjoy new adventures. We will definitely tell everyone we know about it and can't wait to come back!Wendy P.

FAQ about our Hitchcock 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.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Hitchcock area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 137 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
