55We did a meet and greet with our dog and a potential new pup at this wonderful location. A lot of space and a lot of things to discover. We had a lot of fun and are happy to share that the other pup is a good fit.
55Great space, lovely host!
55We absolutely loved this sniffspot! Hope there were more places like this. Pure nature, secured, well maintained spot.
55This sniff spot is amazing! We are traveling from out of town and have two reactive dogs and a deaf dog, so this place was great for them to be off leash and explore! Would highly recommend this place!
55Had a fantastic time exploring!
55We always have a blast at this Sniffspot! The hosts are fantastic and property is gorgeous!
55Beautiful property with well-maintained trails. Arlo had a blast and we’ll definitely be back
55This was our first visit to a sniff spot. Our rescue dog is reactive and taking her out is always a challenge. They made the experience super easy and low stress for us which was huge. It was amazing to see our girl be able to "act like a dog" without all of the triggers she would normally have to deal with in a city environment. The property was awesome with tons of trails and a pond that she LOVED...as soon as she saw it she basically launched herself into the water. We will definitely be back!
55Such an incredible place to take your dog! It's difficult to wear out a German Shepherd, even one who is almost 9 yrs old. This property was set up for dogs and owners alike. Lots of hills, quiet for the most part. Just gorgeous! And the owner has made everything perfectly easy to navigate from finding the location to where the additional amenities are located. Traveling from out of state this was a gem to find! Would definitely visit frequently if I lived in the area.
55Our dog loves it here and is always upset she has to leave 😂

at the very back (west) of our 10 acre parcel we have a neighbor in a log cabin who is 200-feet away from our fence line. they have a couple of gorgeous hound dogs that you can hear bark if they are outside. they are on invisible fencing and have never come near our fence. you may be able to see them through the trees. If they are outside, they will bark. to the north of our property we border the manistee national forest and a 60-acre, non-motorized lake. (the lake can be seen in some photos.) there is a fence separating the dog park from the lake. it is possible to see or hear people or pets across the lake or people in non-motorized boats and kayaks during your visit. there is more activity summer weekends and holidays. our property is completely private and scenic. and very quiet most of the time. please contact us with any questions. it is our pleasure to host you!

Hazards

Pond, Lake, and Woods *If you see a turtle, do not approach it! Let us know and we will relocate it. *There are some prickers around the banks of the pond and in some areas of the woods. *We have had one guest who let us know their dog got some burrs. *Expect to encounter normal insects from a woods setting. *We hide Kong Squeakair tennis balls in the woods for dogs to find. There is an inherent risk in letting your dog play with tennis balls. By visiting our Sniffspot you are accepting this risk. If you would like us to remove any balls that we have hidden, we would be happy to do so. However, balls/toys are often left behind by guests (we have a large property). Please closely monitor your dog. The safety of your dog is your responsibility!

My wife and I moved to this beautiful wooded property years ago with our two children and our dog Bear Bear. Our son created this beautiful trail through the woods where we would take Bear for walks everyday. Our beloved Bear Bear has passed and we are opening up this trail for a sniffspot in his honor. Happy Trails 'N Tails to you! -brent & chrissy

Pooch's Paradise in Jenison - Kaitlyn's Dog Training

Welcome to Pooch’s Paradise! I’m Kaitlyn, a professional dog trainer who owns Kaitlyn’s Dog Training. My dogs are basically my children, and the entire yard has been catered to them and my clients’ dogs. This half-acre yard is fully fenced (6 foot privacy, plus a 4-ft chain link surrounding a garden area), and even has a double-gate system to enter and exit, like you would see at a dog park to add extra safety. There are tons of enrichment activities available. I always have a wide variety of toys, a children’s climbing playset that the dogs love, a few small agility tunnels and one large one, an agility teeter totter, and have plans to add additional agility equipment at some point in the future. **I also have kiddie pools I can fill if you give advance notice and select it as an add-on option.** There’s a gazebo that offers shade and is also screened in to prevent most bugs from getting in. There’s a clear tote by the entry gate that contains clean towels and also a Mudbuster tool for cleaning off paws. We do everything we can to provide the absolute best experience for you and your dog, and we think you’ll love it! The only dogs I have ever allowed on the property are vaccinated, healthy, and up-to-date on flea & tick prevention. All the pups who visit my home find that the yard is quite literally their own personal playground, and I know your dogs will love it too!
