55Today was beautiful and peaceful at my dog's favorite spot.
55Tim was a wonderful host and the grounds are truly beautiful. The pond is much larger than I imagined and great for non weight bearing exercise. We will certainly be back.
55Beautiful property! Great instructions and amenities. The dogs loved the pond. Will be back!
55The dogs loved it! Tons of room to explore! Very private, if you have large dogs just make sure they don’t run into the wire around the pond! We will definitely come again!
55Great little area!

We have a variety of farm animals on premises. All may be visible from our SniffSpot. The larger animals (horse, donkey, goats) are contained within fenced enclosures, generally behind our house and SniffSpot (beware of electric fence around their enclosures!). The smaller animals (chickens, ducks, cats) are free range, and while it's possible they could come into contact with you and your dog, they are generally well alerted and keep a safe distance.

Description

Hello and Welcome! We are located in quiet, rural, Germantown, OH, offering acres of beautiful, private, fenced fields, for you and your dogs to jump and play, sit back and relax, or enjoy however you like. Our main "Pond SniffSpot" is CURRENTLY OPEN and available most of the year. It's a fully fenced 2 acre converted pasture. It's very private, containing a pond, picnic table, fields, and woods, with mowed border and mowed trails. See photo captions. Our "Alternate SniffSpot" is CURRENTLY CLOSED, and only made available when our "Pond SniffSpot" is closed. It's a fully fenced 1 acre pasture. It's very private, and generally more "woody" than the Pond Sniffspot, containing trees, fields, and mowed trails (but no pond). See photo captions. Garbage cans, Dog drinking water, hose/spigot, refreshments, and other amenities are available. Complimentary dog treats! Check out our available "Extras" too! We hope you have fun and come back! Thank you.

Cleanliness

Hazards

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
