55We’ve been visiting Hal and Colleen’s weekly for a year now and it’s our favorite SniffSpot by far. Our speedy sighthounds can get their sniffs and shake a leg in this wonderful open area. Here’s to another year! Layne F.

55Thank you, Hal & Colleen, for sharing what became Joe's favorite yard. Today was his Rainbow Ride - a day of lasts as we helped him cross the rainbow bridge tonight. He so loved your property and always knew when we were close to arriving. Today, though his body wouldn't allow him to stay for long or run as far as he wanted, was a good last day in his favorite place. Thank you for helping us make some of his favorite memories at your home. Forever grateful - Joe's MamaLyn P.

55The yard was great! It was the perfect size for the dogs to run around, but still small enough as to where you wouldn’t lose sight of them. Great experience!Alex O.

55Great place!!
The yard is even bigger than I was expecting. It was a great place to play. School gets out @ 3:30 so be mindful if your dog is people reactive. You can’t see them through the fence but you can hear the playing. Cynthia S.

55This is a great space! Very clean and inviting. There was lots of clean drinking water for the dogs and lots of toys to play with. You can tell they really care about the people who visit their spot. Jordin B.

55Big beautiful space with large trees lots of room. Sadly, Not a good fit for my dog. He is car reactive and the cars were too close to the fence and he wasn't comfortable. We had to leave after 10 minutes (when I could catch him)
Please Sniff Spot -some dogs are reactive to cars. Please note how close lots are to busy streets. Cynthia S.

55What a heavenly place! I love that the grass varied in height in different places, so fun for the dogs to run through/hide in. The spacious pasture turns into a wooded area in the back, great for more exploring and provides plentiful shade. The pasture is hemmed in by gorgeous fruit trees and is well cared for. I did not notice any gaps in the fence (I had a small dog with me and was careful to check). This spot is sure to become a regular destination for myself and my client’s dogs. Love it! Jennifer B.
