this was an amazing time with my dogs, who haven’t been able to off-leash, ball chase, in a long while. i have a rescue that can’t be around other dogs and this was such a relief to know it was just us and we weren’t going to run into any other dogs. i’ll definitely make this a regular thing for my dogs. everyone is home now and passed out!

Loved this spot! This was my first experience with sniff spot. I am a dog trainer working with a family that has a hyper-social puppy. We are starting a remedial socialization plan, and I used this spot to introduce the puppy to a calmer, older dog. This spot was awesome! It was very well enclosed, and there was so much room for the dogs to sniff, play, and hangout. It gave both dogs the space they needed to spread out and therefore ended up being a great socialization outing! Thank you for making this spot available. We will likely plan more socialization outings here in the future! I know a lot of people that use this app use it for their reactive dogs, so it’s worth noting that the yard has other backyards visible through the trees. From the yard, we saw two different dogs in their yards, but the dogs were at least 50 yards away and none of them paid any mind to our dogs. Depending on how reactive your dog is, that distance might be an issue, but it wasn’t for our pups.

Awesome spot! My dog is working though scavenging habits and resource guarding. The yard was clean and free of anything that could be ingested. It was so nice to see him run around off leash with out stress of finding something he might guard or eat!

Fully fenced, very quiet, very peaceful. My dog struggles being around people and dogs and he had so much fun. Will 100% be back.

Had a great time! The fence is see through but I didn’t see any other dogs or even squirrels on the other side. Was a great place to bring my dog and my friends dog for a play date for maximum romping.

Yard was secure and clean. Had everything listed and host was kind and told me to reach out if I needed anything. Compost was covered with dried leaves.

Amy’s spot is just perfect. We get to zoom and sniff and it’s well secured all the way around. She always goes above and beyond with thoughtfulness and welcoming messages. Love being regulars

Great space for my dog to run around and get some energy out. He is reactive and we had no issues with other dogs, very high and secure fence. Having the hose available to spray him off in the heat was perfect, we will be back!

The spot is a little small with all the kids toys and furniture but it was great for getting the pup out for an hour, with lots of shady spots and seating options. The gate is a little finicky but does shut completely and stay shut.
