55This is a great spot! A large area with a secure fence - even for small dogs. Lots of wide open space for pups to run and one whole end is an agility course. Something for every pup! There isn’t a lot of shade, so if you’re sensitive to sun, I’d suggest an earlier or later visit. Parking is well labeled and easy to access. Great experience! We will be back.Miranda G.

55This is our favorite spot! It’s always clean, attended to and a pleasure to visit. My two dogs love to roam the open space and I enjoy the shaded areas to sit too. Thank you, Sara, for your attentiveness and providing such a great experience!Pamela E.

55This is a beautiful spot and we could not have been happier with our first Sniff Spot. The host has a shed with a table and chairs. Also a canopy out front with more chairs. The agility course was fantastic, well maintained and fun for the dogs. I was impressed with the available items for picking up after your dog and sanitizing your hands afterwards. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a fun day in the country for all. Heidi M.

55So much space to run around and Seamus rant over all of it. He was pretty good with the agility equipment too. We may have to do some serious training with it. We will definitely be back! Kimberly B.

55Great sniff spot, large wide space, good agility equipment (even though we didn't really utilize it since one of my dogs is timid and the other one is old), and appreciate the clear directions and signs. Very sunny space, great for chillier day.Lu & James K.

55This is an exceptional Sniffspot! The grass is cut, there are no other dogs or humans, and the parking is well marked. Sara has thought of everything to make a dog’s and their human’s experience the perfect spot. There is agility equipment, balls, and all the essentials such as paper towels, hand sanitizer, and dog wipes. There is water and a bowl. The spot even has a rain cover for humans and a nice sitting place with comfortable chairs for a sunny day. To top it off, Sara has even supplied a box if dog toys. It's the perfect place for a dog to be a dog. My two Barbado da Terceira had a wonderful time!

55Really large, clean Sniffspot. Loved the agility course, could only convince Max to go through the tunnel and up one side of the elevated walk, maybe more next time. Plus it was a beautiful afternoon 😊

FAQ about our Jefferson 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 Jefferson 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 405 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 54 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.
