55What a wonderful visit today! So much room for dogs to flourish-a huge open field for ball playing. Animals all around from chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, to alpacas. The host was super friendly and even shared some farm knowledge with me. We can't wait to go back!! Thank you so much :)Ashley R.

55This is our very first sniff spot experience and it was perfect! Tina was very helpful and the pasture was just what my dogs needed. There are some shaded areas in the pasture and very well fenced in. She has chairs available and a dog bowl you can use (BYOWater).

55This was our fourth time coming to this property and it's our favorite! The grounds are well kept and the large field gives so much room for running. Also, the host provides water bowls, tennis balls, and water refill in case if you run out. Besides how much my dogs love it, I also look forward to coming here each week now too!Kelly G.

55Had an amazing time! The host provided toys, water, and water bowl, which were very much appreciated by my pup and I. She was unfortunately able to slip under the fence at a few of its points though so keep a close eye on your dog if they are medium sized. Mars G.

FAQ about our Sanford 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.
