55This was my first Visit to A Sniff Spot, and Ed couldn’t have made it any easier. Everything we could have needed was right at our fingertips. Water, toys, towels, seating and a wonderful wood chip trail, we used it all, except the fire pit, maybe next time. My dog is poorly socialized & reactive, and we were finally able to walk and play with him without being on high alert, watching for triggers.
I will book here again (& again)Andrea P.

55Such a great space. My dogs had a blast exploring every nook and cranny, and topped it off playing with a soccer ball. I will definitely return! Kym H.

55This spot is the perfect safe space for dogs to sniff and explore! My dog had the best time running around in the trees and playing fetch. Ed was super kind and greeted me and told me about the property. He even gave us some dog treats and a cute bandana which was a nice added touch 😊 the area was well maintained, and hada trash receptacle/doggy bags, hand sanitizer and water.
We will definitely be back! Katie H.

55I was so excited to see the creek running through! When I was here earlier in the fall it was dry, so it was a fun surprise for both me and my pup. She ran through it multiple times. Will be coming back soon! Jessica S.

55Our first time visiting a Sniff Spot, I highly recommend. Grounds and clean and dogs have lots of space to run around and play. The creek is great for a dog that loves to splash around. Carlos C.
