55Wonderful Sniffspot! Secure gate! Huge space! Gorgeous. I got to see how my dog would react to horses and the horses were unbelievably relaxed even with a big German Shepherd barking at them - their calmness helped my dog calm down. Great way to socialize a dog around livestock. Sorry to have missed meeting Rick and Lynn - hope to be able to meet another time. Linn D.

55It's a gorgeous and very spacious area. One of the owners (Rick) came over and made it an ideal first time sniff spot experience by showing us around and telling us about the area. We would definitely go back and host doggie parties there.Harry M.

55It had been a while since our last visit and was delighted to see our favorite spot takem to the next level. The addition of the entry right to the spot is thoughtful and the shelter really nice. They are also super thoughtful with clean water for the dogs to drink, extra towels in case you don’t have any and a hose to help clean the mud off your dogs. And the dogs…they LOVE this place . Had a blast todayCori Y.

55What an amazing spot! My pup and I had the best time here today. So spacious and wonderful that it’s fully fenced in so that I didn’t have to constantly be keeping on eye on her. Love that you can pull your car right in and close the gate. Owners are so friendly! Nice little covered pavilion with a fire pit that could be fun to use in the future as a gathering with friends. We will be back very soon I am certain!! Caroline S.

55As usual, Bud and I had a wonderful time at Run Sniff Run. We loved the updates Rick and Lynn have made to the spot. The pavilion, the new entry gate, the water and wash station - all make for a great visit. Bud got as muddy as he wanted, and I got to hose him off before we left. No muddy car! I love the thoughtful touches that make this spot our favorite.Jennifer G.

55Great spot! It was easy to enter and exit. It had everything you could ask for- dog washing station, towels to dry off, clean water, waste station, throwing sticks and even a wood burning fire and Lynn and Rick had the fire going for me when I arrived. They were kind enough to show me around. Thank you for sharing your space. Anna C.

55This was even better than described! My blind dog had a blast, and found the horses to be most fascinating. The horses were truly unfazed, despite her fandom. The host was super nice, and even had a fire going. Awesome place😀Kate D.

FAQ about our Lafayette dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
