55Makaylee’s Private Dog Park in Sherwood is a new favorite Sniffspot of ours!
The hosts are warm and welcoming! The property is beautiful and the pasture space set aside for the Sniffspot is expansive! The livestock guardian dogs and the hosts’ other dogs are secured away (in the barn) when guests are on the property, although are in view of guest dogs when arriving at the property but are (mostly) out of sight when in the pasture (depending on where you’re at in the pasture). Livestock is present so dogs with high(er) prey drive will need to be secured on a leash/long line when walking from the parking space (in front of barn) to the pasture. Livestock will still be viewable from the pasture so a long line is recommended if your dog does not have reliable recall. Boots are and towels for the car ride home are recommended as it is a farm property so expect mud (especially in fall/winter months).
My dog started on a long line but quickly graduated to off leash after (several) successful recalls. The property is perfect for decompression walks, my dog sniffed for the entire hour plus we were on the hour and was thoroughly exhausted afterwards!Kelsey D.

55This is a beautiful spot. A very large open field for athletic dogs to run. Very welcoming hosts. Easy to find. A piece of country, only moments away from Sherwood. There are very fascinating livestock (chickens, sheep) so dogs on leash till you reach the actual field. H L.
