55This was our first Sniffspot experience and we already can't wait to come back. Not only did our pup have the time of his life, but so did my 9 year old! The tree swing was a dream come true for the kiddo. Between all the new sniffs, the huge amount of space to throw his frisbee wheel, and the agility challenges, Moose was busy and engaged the whole time. He is an anxious, reactive dog so this place is such a gift. Thank you for sharing your incredible yard!Karen S.

55Our dogs love this spot, so peaceful and so much to smell, tons of room to run and play. We have been here multiple times and have yet to encounter anyone else or any other dogs even on adjacent trail. This spot sets a high bar.Susan C.

55This is a great spot. Lots of room to run and fun agility equipment to try. Lots of traffic noise that made my cautious dog nervous at first. She got used to it in a few minutes so it was a great experience. Janet O.

55The spot was wonderful! My dog had an excellent time playing and running. I felt totally safe with her due to the fencing and area free of hazards. Nichole N.

55My dogs loved running around! We didn’t stay our whole visit because it was a little chilly, but the girls got their energy out and enjoyed the area. One of mine tried to figure out some of the agility equipment but was unsuccessful ;)Sarah O.

55This is a really amazing place to bring your dog to let them run and play. There is lots of space and Tony makes sure to leave lots of water outside for your pups to drink when they get tired. We will definitely be back. Meriah E.

55Most of the agility items were down for the winter, so it was mostly just a nice large space to let the dogs run. It's a great size, and the hills help tire the dogs out too! Taylor I.

55Scott, we feel bad for tearing up portions of your yard playing with Tana. She was relentless in wanting to play ball fetch for a solid 55 minutes.
As hard as we tried she had no interest in jumping over the hurdles…”just throw the ball, Dad. Throw it”.
I hadn’t noticed the great landscaping your across Rice Creek neighbors had done to their yards. Very comfortable appearance.
We will continue coming back through the winter.Ron L.
