55The dogs had a blast! So many activities they didn’t know where to go first between the kiddie pool ball pit, obstacle courses, and a bucket of toys. The forest section was another world. It feels like you’re on a mini trail.Cindy L.

55This was the best sniff spot ever! I’ve only been to one other but I don’t think any could be better than this! My dog was in heaven to be able to run through it he wooded trails and the baby pool was wonderful to cool off ! She didn’t use any of the agility equipment but it’s nice that it is there! Plenty of comfy seating for owners as well. Super impressed and definitely will be back!! Tracy L.

55My dog absolutely loved this spot and was very tired at the end!! A big yard with the woods to explore! This Sniffspot owner thought of everything. Several agility/toy options, a kiddie pool, a speaker to play music, many spots for you to sit at with a table, dog bowl, trash to dispose poop bag, a dog bed, etc… even left a treat for my dog! Thank you, we will be coming back again. Jeanne B.

55This spot was amazing!! The woods part was an absolute dream. We are working on off leash walking with 3 dogs so this was perfect for us to experiment with. We have a 14 lb dog and there were no gaps in the fencing and we could locate her pretty easily. Everything was available including the ball pit, water, and times of cool stuff for our dogs to explore and play with. We will be back 100% Penelope even left us treats for the pups! Thank youTiffany F.
