55This sniffspot is excellent! Our dog loved the toys and jumping in the pool. We heard the dog(s) inside a few times, but it wasn't loud enough to be distracting. I don't think our other dog who is a bit reactive would be concerned with it. Overall a wonderful experience! Brooke M.

55A great backyard for your pups! A safe way to get your dog used to swimming. We had tried taking ours to dog parks with water but never felt settled with all the other dogs around. Good detailed instructions for an easy entrance and exit. Highly recommend. Tara P.

55My pup and me had a great time! The pool was just the right size for my dog to retrieve his favorite toy and swim back and forth. He also loved the pool dog float. We brought along a friend and her pup. Her pup was not interested in the pool but had plenty of green space in the backyard to run and play. I will be booking this space again and recommend this space for any person who has a dog that loves to swim!Karen R.

55This was our first time using sniff spot. We have a large, intimidating-looking dog that loves other animals and people. He sometimes gets a little too excited and jumps on people, so we don’t take him to dog parks. It was so nice for him to run around, sniff, and play in a new and safe space. This site was clean and the owners were so friendly. Instructions were clear. We would definitely come back.Rachel G.

55Absolutely LOVED this place! I have 2 dogs Nala and Atlas. Nala is a 2 yro Doberman Aussie mix and Atlas is a 5yro shepherd mix. I can’t bring atlas anywhere bc he was a rescue and is aggressive with new people and pets. He did SO good and had SO MUCH FUN! It was such a nice place to relax and just let Atlas roam with nala and be able to get out of his normal. He also hates water but he got in!!! Absolutely will be back! They had everything we could ever think of for a dog place! Anna O.

55There was an awesome assortment of toys in the bin that Fiona absolutely loved. She was a little too scared to go in the water, but she absolutely loved running around in the yard. Next time we visit the area, we'll definitely be stopping in again. This was a nice bit of unleashed fun while we're on vacation.Alyssa T.

55This sniff spot was amazing! The pool has easy accessible steps (worked great for our old hound dog) and the property was clean and prepared for us. Maureen was very kind to check in on us to make we found everything ok and over all they provided an amazing adventure opportunity for our old boy Waylon. Steph W.
