55First of all, this yard is gorgeous and lots of nooks to explore. I kept my dog on a leash and we enjoyed a relaxing saunter through their winding trail through the trees. Dreeeeamy area! The drive there is beautiful!! I’m thrilled to have found this Sniffspot! Left feeling relaxed and energized at the same time. Highly HIGHLY recommend.
Secondly, I recently adopted a German Shepherd who I admittedly have not been socializing enough. I asked Betsy if she would be willing to greet us so I could gauge how he would react - she happily agreed AND was absolutely wonderful with my dog! Super relaxed and obviously very dog experienced. She also introduced us to her husband Eric and he was also awesome with my dog. Thank you both! We will be back!

55This spot feels like it has a lot more than just a few acres to explore! The open yard is great for fetch and zoomies, while the trails and trees were great for sniffing and hiking. It was wet and a little muddy, but the waterhole was clean enough to clean the dogs as they romped around in it at the end of our time. The kind host also put a hose and towels out for helpful, quick clean up. We will be back with my royalty (advanced) packs 😋Ashtyn B.

55This place was Great! VERY nice place to sit in the shade, lots of trees and trails. They clean/sanitize toys and towels for each visit. They even had a kiddy pool for our dane. I would definitely recommend this place. The only drawback is the front of the play area is not fenced. There is very little to no traffic on the street. Our dog is a runner! And she did great. She was so excited when we got there, all 125lbs of her jumped out the car window. 😲Shelley B.

55My dog slept the whole way home after visiting. It’s super nice that the back line is fenced so the dogs had no problem staying in the yard and It is definitely worth the drive! Kerstin C.

55This tucked-away spot has a variety of options to keep your dog busy! There are trails in the back of the property, a lovely little pond for swimming, and a big field in the backyard for ball playing. The host was kind enough to warn that there may be mud, so I brought my boots, but I noticed they had laid out wood chips in a lot of the muddy areas, plus they provided towels. Very conscientious and kind! Lea H.

55My two Labradors love the stream. Right now (Early April) the current is strong which my Labrador loved and could easily wade but smaller dogs would probably like this water feature in the summer when it is calmer. The trail through the woods is short but provided lots of trees and bushes to sniff. Great place for dogs that love water and woods. Definitely should have a good recall as not fully fenced as stated in the description. The trail starts in-between the house and another building. I parked in one of the parking spots on the driveway as the grassy area closer to the entrance looked a bit muddy.Bliss G.

55Had a great time playing in the creek and running with my dogs on the short trails. This was our 1st sniff spot experience and it went very well. We encountered a couple of people from a distance associated with the property all of which were very friendly and pleasant. Would totally come back.Ashley S.

55This place lives up to its name! My pup loved playing with rocks in the stream and running around the small meadow. The trails are short but lovely, with wildflowers in bloom now that it’s spring. To get to the play area you have to cross a narrow suspension bridge, which has open sides and a naturally wobbly feel (even though it’s securely constructed) so just keep in mind that wary dogs and people might not like it. There’s a poop disposal bin provided, which I always appreciate. Also there’s an old canvas tent in the woods that appears to be permanent but unoccupied. It and other touches like old lanterns, a teepee frame, and rustic seating around a fire pit made this SniffSpot feel like the summer camp I attended as a kid. Only better, because now I get to bring my dog with me. ♥️Paige W.

FAQ about our Amboy dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed.

How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
