Hazards

HOST NOTE

The fencing has several tubular metal farm gates with openings up to 8", which may allow entry/exit for smaller dogs. The farm fence is topped with a single electric wire, which we keep turned OFF during all customer visits to our SniffSpot. Note: the pond is contained within a wire perimeter (a single wire, about 3.5' off the ground, marked with flags) to keep our horse from leaving manure in and around the pond during the offseason. You and your dog(s) can safely pass under (or around) the wire, without worry. The pond, the wire, and the surrounding 2 acres are all fully enclosed within the aforementioned, secure, 4' farm fence. We do operate a small family farm, and we raise a variety of farm animals. Adjacent to the fenced SniffSpot, our horse, donkey, and goats are enclosed within electric fences, which we keep turned ON for the safety of our animals. Please stay clear of the farm animal enclosures, which are outside of, and NOT part of our SniffSpot. Please keep your dog(s) leashed until they are safely within the SniffSpot. Of course, all of our farm animals poop. While our farm animals don't normally share space with our SniffSpot, sometimes sh*t happens. If your dog finds manure delightful, don't worry! A hose is available for easy cleanup. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water

I walk my dogs daily. It’s great to walk without a leach. They can run and walk at their own pace. I love it. Has great views. The pond is pretty cool too. I let you have the yard to yourself when you are there. See if you can find the carving in one of the trees. 😎 The pool is off limits
