55This was our first SniffSpot experience, and we will definitely be doing it again! The property was beautiful, clean and well stocked for our visit. My reactive dog (attacked too many times at the dog park) and puppy had a great time, all while being safe and free to sniff, play and run! Allison G.

55My pups loved this yard! There was so much for them to sniff and explore! Plenty of room to throw the ball for them to run! We attended at 8:30am and the yard was pretty much an even split of sun and shade so that was perfect! I imagine there are enough trees and shade even during later times of the day. I’d highly recommend this spot. Christine W.

55My dog Bentley and I LOVE going to Ross and Phyl's Sniffspot! They're wonderful hosts and their yard is big and beautiful with lots of things to explore, including Shelldon, their tortoise (in his enclosure) and their two goats (in their enclosure). Bentley checks them out when we first arrive, but then just wants to run around and chase balls or roll around in the beautiful grass. He has SUCH a good time! Great Spot -- thank you Ross and Phyl!Joy D.

55Ross and Phyl were wonderful. I have a very ill behaved dog who decided to terrorize the goats and the turtle and break a flower pot. I was ready to get her out of there and they very, very kindly encouraged me to stay. She finally wore herself out and calmed down some but still a pill. The yard is lovely! Huge and such a variety of things to sniff and see. Tons of running room. If allowed, I will go back……with a flower pot. Erika S.

55First Sniffspot experience and we were so happy with it! Took my baby & my mom’s older pup and they both had so much fun. My dog is very reactive with other animals so I am so glad they got to explore a safe place without having to worry about other doggos. can’t wait to come back!! thank you for having us and creating this sweet little space for them:)Sydney J.

55Beautiful sniffspot!!! This place is amazing, super clean, with beautiful grass, fruit trees, and large trees that provide plenty of shade. There are cute benches to seat and relax, agility equipment available, different toys to play with, small doggie pool, water for the dogs, and a super cute chicken coup. Last but not least, on a table by the entrance, there were fresh roses, fresh rosemary, and fresh lemons& grapefruit with a nice note indicating they were for us. The thoughtfulness was very appreciated. We loved our stay. It was our first time here, and we hope to return soon. It was such a treat on this Tuesday morning to be out in this beautiful place, made our day!!! Thanks so much 🙏 💓 Sarah M.

55We had a great time! This was exactly what I was looking for- lots of places to investigate and explore. Love all the huge trees and dense bushes. Keeping leaves out of the pool must be a full time job! From the street you would never know how huge the back yard is. My pup did see a cat and another dog came to the window, this was perfect for training! Oh yes and she barked at a very scary pink pool float- hilarious. Thank you for being a part of SniffSpot 🩵Michelle F.

55This is our weekend spot!!! We love this place, the pool is always clean, the yard is perfect for zoomies and the dogs have the best time here! The humans can even go swimming too! She was very accommodating during the heatwave and showed me where fans were to use. Micalea L.

FAQ About Scottsdale 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.
