55Sara’s yard was great! Not huge, I lost the chuck it ball almost immediately because I threw it too far (my fault) but my dogs had plenty of room to run. There were a lot of bushes that they had fun exploring, sniffing, and peeing on as well. The directions were clear and it was easy to find. And so close to my house!! We will definitely go back.Karen M.

55This space is fun with lots of spaces to explore. I recommend this space for smaller dogs or short visits for larger dogs. The our high energy bigger dogs had a great time exploring and running but soon started to look for trouble because it is a smaller space than we usually choose. We ended up going to a lovely walk around the neighborhood and then returned for more off leash time to use our full two hours. We especially liked the little tree house and it was a great yard for hide and seek. Kristy S.

55Sara’s spot was excellent! The yard had great fencing, very little foot-traffic, and fun nooks-and-crannies for our pups to get into. Would highly recommend!Payge K.

55We had a lot of fun running and playing fetch in Sara’s yard! She communicated with us beforehand so we knew where to park, how to access the spot, etc. which was helpful. Lots of fun things to explore for humans and dogs alike.Eryn W.

55Great Sniffspot! The owner is a great communicator, and the location is perfect for my pups. I couldn’t see people or dogs from the area, which is excellent for my reactive pups. I did hear a dog as we were leaving, but my dogs weren’t bothered by it. I would absolutely recommend it, and we will go back! Aneesah R.

55Great spot for dogs to sniff and play. It was nice to have plenty of water bowls out, chairs to sit in, and a tree to stand under when it started sprinkling. There were a couple of poops around the lawn, but not a big deal. Just a heads up for reactive dog owners that people and dogs walking by can be seen through the fence, but the thick wood boards were enough to keep our dog from getting too heightened. We'd love to return!Marina O.

55We had so much fun! This spot is really nice, plenty for the dogs to check out & lots of room to run & romp. Yard is secure - trust me, my 2 crazies thoroughly tested it! There’s one tiny hole at the bottom of the fence, at the back corner by the swing set, where a dog could probably fit through if you aren’t paying attention, but it provided a great recall training opportunity. We will definitely be back!Holly H.

55Nuggett had a great time! It’s big enough for my 40 pound pittie to run around, secure enough for an escaper, and two big trees with enough squirrels to have her running back and fourth. There are stairs by one of the trees that has a few gaps instead of steps since one staircase is upside down. She went up to get squirrels but then had to jump or tumble back down. Cover those steps and add a water bowel and awesome Sniffspot there ya go!
I ll say the owner was very helpful and accommodating with great communication.Katie, nugget and family K.

55Booked this sniff spot last minute and had a great experience. Backyard was well fenced in and had good height considering our black lab can jump very high. We did not see or hear any other dogs Bella B.
