55My 3 dogs enjoyed every moment. So many activities and all the smells were perfect for sniffing and exploring. Host did a terrific job making us feel welcomed. We will be making a point to come back quite often
45Dogs had a great time, only concern was grass was a bit overgrown in fenced area. Loved all the agility equipment and the pool. Very clean and there was access to clean water and bowl for the dogs. My dogs had a great time sniffing and playing.
55We would love to visit again. This was just what he needed!!
55great yard, easy to get to, pool and agility equipment were great
55What a great spot to visit and Kimberly is a rockstar at dog behavior and training. Learned so much in such a short time. We will definitely be back.
55Beautiful spot!
55This was our first adventure with Sniffspot and we are really glad we tried it! The instructions from the host were clear, and finding it was pretty easy. I did drive by it at first but was able to get back to it quickly. The fenced area was very safe. My Bull Terrier/Velociraptor tested each corner for weak spots and none were found. She LOVED the little pool and it made our visit perfect. It was a warm morning but Stella could go cool off in the water and play more. We didn’t get too far walking around the edge of the fields but it was a great space. Stella was just overwhelmed by the scents so we cut it short. Stella also got to see chickens for the first time (from a respectful distance). I really appreciated that opportunity. The chickens didn’t seem to mind her looking at all and either the controlled situation it gave me an opportunity to work on her training a bit. It’s a bit far from home for me but I will make an effort to get here again!
55we had a blast! So many fun obstacles to explore and a wide variety of toys. Our dog LOVED the pool, tires to jump off of and all of the new sniffs this place offered! We will be going back, host was very helpful and responsive :)
55Juniper loved her time here!
55My dog, who hates water, used the pool! Clean, quiet, great location!

Description

The Pooch Playground is an approximately 1/4 acre fenced playground on a picturesque, rural working farm. Nestled against a small wood, the spot is far enough away from the house and barn to give a sense of privacy. The pool went in today!

Cleanliness

98% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

No small dogs (under 25lbs) until I am sure we have found and filled all of the gaps under the fence from uneven ground. Rocks in tall grass spots, possibly wild rose bushes with thorns popping up in non-mowed areas, wild mushrooms, wild roses growing against the fence on the woods side, ticks, thistle, hawks, and eagles. Possible holes from prior dogs digging. On your Sniffari walk you might encounter: Wild mushrooms, burs, thistle, ticks, bees, wasps, caterpillars, frogs, skunks, porcupines, bears, deer, coyotes, hawks, eagles, bobcats, old barbed wire, uneven ground, vines on the ground, rocks sticking up, roots, all the normal hazards that you would find in nature. Bald eagles and hawks hunt here, small dogs could be at risk, so do not leave them unattended. ELECTRIC FENCING around horse pasture.
