Wonderful rural location with friendly farm animals included! Lovely open space for dogs to roam free and run. Host was very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend.

Amazing space to let your dogs run, sniff and explore. The fence around the yard is nicely constructed and the neighboring houses are quite a ways away so we had no concerns during our time there. The trees throughout provided great shade on a sunny day. We loved our first trip there and will be regulars.

Very secure fence, perfect amount of room for the dogs to stretch their legs, and the host provided a chair, hand sanitizer, balls, poop bags, and a chuck it for us to use while there. Will definitely come again if I’m ever in the area!

Crazy Acres is great! We have two Aussiedoodles, ages 2 and 7 months. They spent equal time running and then just sniffing everywhere. The area was clean and well cared for. We loved our experience there and will definitely return. It was worth driving farther than we usually do. ❤️🐾

Easy access, clean and secure area, lots of room for play and sniffing new smells! Our second time was as good as the first!

Our first sniffspot! Pup didn't even know what to do with all the space, but had a great time!

I really liked the space, my dogs got to walk around and sniff a lot and play together. Good fence, nice open space surrounding, easy parking and entrance, clean, with both sunny and shade areas for the pups.

This is a great space. Open, clean, private and our 3 dogs had a fun morning exploring and playing.

Megan F.

July 2024

Spacious with plenty of open space for dogs to run and sniff! On a hot summer day, dogs and humans alike appreciated the shady spot. My dog, who is always on the hunt for small critters, also loved the tufts of tall grass and bushes sprinkled in. While toys, hand sanitizer, and poop bags were provided, remember to bring your own water.

Our first time using sniff spot and this place did not disappoint! Very well kept. Our 2 dogs loved chasing each other around and sniffing all the trees and bushes! Will definitely be back!

This is a beautiful, large area and is perfect for my reactive dog who doesn’t play well with other dogs! Very clean and kept up well! We will definitely be returning.

This place was perfect for letting our dog run and smell all the things! Didn’t see a single person or dog. I will absolutely be back to bring my dog-reactive boy next 😊

This was our first experience with SniffSpot, it was great! Huge area, easy to get to and easy to get in. Thank you.

This was an awesome large, open space for my dog to run around! It’s in the country so it’s nice and private too :) I always bring water with for my dog, so make sure to do that! There’s a camping chair in the bin where the toys are, I brought a blanket in case I needed to sit on the ground, so I was grateful to have a spot to sit and relax! We will definitely be back 😊

Andrew J.

Our dog had a great time here. Lot’s of space to run around and have fun. He is reactive so it is hard to find chances to let him be off leash. This spot worked perfectly.

Bridget P.

We’ve really enjoyed coming here since discovering it last year. It’s been a great place to spend some time quality off leash time with our dogs. Friday night was our sweet girl’s last time here before she crossed the rainbow bridge on Saturday. Thanks so much for providing a safe space for us to make great memories.
