Very clean. Chickens a nice touch... I very much appreciate it being accessible and the host opening gate so I could drive close to sitting area. Thanks so much! I will definitely be back.

Amazing spot. Very beautiful and relaxing. It may be difficult to keep a close eye on your dog due to the size and layout of the property. Plenty of toys, bags, and water provided. Chickens can sometimes be a problem for my dog, but this coop is very secure, enough so that he quickly lost interest. We’ll be back!

My pups and I absolutely love this Sniffspot. We have been to a few different ones, and this is the only one that we have been to twice. We will definitely be back!

This place was great! Today was our first experience using SniffSpot, and Pup Paradise was a fabulous place. My dog hand plenty of room to roam and take in all new smells. We will definitely be back again.

Very very welcoming. Such a large space, my two pups had so much fun and ended up completely exhausted! I love how you open the gate and pull in and bam, dog can roam. It really makes it easy on me because one of my dogs is a Great Dane puppy who doesn’t have the best leash matters yet. Thank you so much!

Our dog had so much fun here! Coming from the city it was great to have a place to let her run free without other dogs to worry about or get distracted by. Very easy to access and there were plenty of toys for her to play with. Would definitely recommend this sniff spot and we hope to return soon!

One of the best sniffspots we've been to! Felt bigger than advertised, lots of toys, and quiet neighborhood. The chickens were an added bonus :)

I drive out of my way for this place because it is the ideal yard for a dog - spacious, very spacious, grass, shade, fresh water and all the toys in the world for your dog. They even provide lounge area for humans. The owners are great and attentive to your needs. I come here weekly!

Great place, lots of room for dogs to play and run. They have toys and clean drinking water for the dogs. Honestly don’t need to bring anything they provide it all which is amazing and worth the money spent. Overall, we are highly satisfied and will return.

This was our first time using SniffSpot and we couldn’t be more happy!! My pups were so happy to run around and get their zoomies out! I will definitely be returning to Pup Paradise!! It was so clean, the decorations were so cute and such generous hosts with drinks for the humans and the pups, treats, toys etc. The doggies are happy and tired 💓🐾

The space is beautiful! Lots of room for the dogs to run and sniff! There are a few blind spots behind structures etc. but the fences were sturdy so no problems with that!

The spot was great! The pups loved it. They were a little scared of the chicken at first but it was a great training opportunity for sure. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful backyard! So many plants for the dogs to sniff! The hosts curated such a sweet welcome under the gazebo! Toys, complementary waters, hand sanitizers, potty bags! We will be back!

This was our first time visiting and we were so impressed! Easy to park, very easy to access and an absolutely beautiful property and yard! Our dogs were so excited to run around. They barely wanted to catch the ball because they were so excited to run around and explore the large space. It was very clean and the set up with the outdoor furniture underneath the canopy was extremely comfortable. There were fresh water bottles for us humans, doggy treats and fresh water bowls for the dogs. Lots of different doggie toys. Loved the chicken coup that our dogs were of course interested in! Also very appreciative of the fully fenced property for peace of mind of our dogs not being able to escape in any way! Just a beautiful place that we would recommend to dog owners! We will definitely come back!

Beautiful and great sized area for the dogs to run and play! Fully fenced, with plenty of water and toys. The St Patrick Day things made for a fun photo op! Will definitely return!
