55Great place for dogs to roam and have fun!
55Great spot! Will definitely be back. 1 hour goes by fast here.
55What a wonderful place to visit! Our dog loved running on the trails, playing in the streams, crossing over bridges, jumping logs and playing on the agility equipment! All the fences are very secure and we could relax and enjoy watching our dog just be a dog! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property!!
55Our dogs had so much fun! This sniff spot is super accommodating and has so many activities! Our huskies loved it!
55Just like the title says, where dogs can be dogs. Truly special people create spaces like this for dogs. There is so much thought put into every inch of this outside space looking through the eyes of a dog! There is agility space to work on that if you like. We stayed in the woodsy part with trails and a creek. My dog loved it! I haven’t seen him run so fast through the trails ever. We will be back for sure. Thank you for this space!
55Awesome spot!! Secure fencing, trails, creek!! Dogs had a BLAST! Well worth the hour drive. Thank you so much!!
55An amazing sniff spot!! Dogs had a ton of space to run around and woods. The owners set everything up perfectly where you can even wash your dog before you leave. Highly recommend this wonderful little pup paradise.
55My dog has a blast here! There are trails, creeks, and fields. She spends a lot of time running joyfully through the creeks, and chasing her ball. This is a perfect spot for dogs to explore, and to just be a dog! Highly recommend.
55Today was our first visit. We have a large fenced yard at home but we decided to give the pups an adventure. Where Dogs can be dogs was amazing. Our pups swam, ran, climbed, trailed, adventured. We were greeted by Lauras husband and he was extremely inviting and helpful. It was also helpful that the time slots allow time to come and go before the next visitor comes. It helps with reactive dogs. We will be revisiting this space often. Highly recommended.
55Mackey absolutely LOVES this place! It’s peaceful, so many trials and sniffs, creek to jump in if they want and very clean. Definitely our favorite Sniffspot so far!

Description

This is a very quiet place on a country road where your dogs can be off leash and free to explore nature. The full four acres are surrounded by a 5 foot fence and there is a small creek running through the property. There is a wide spot in the creek that is easily the most popular spot for our canine visitors! There are larger fields and open areas for your dogs to practice their retrieving, and there are many paths in the woods for hiking. The beginning of each path is marked with quartz stones to show you the way. You will also find several benches scattered throughout the property so that you can take a load off while your dogs run and play. When it rains the property can be quite wet in some areas, so bring boots and a towel to clean off your muddy (but happy!) dog. There is a full competition size agility field within the four acres. The agility equipment is completely fenced in and will be accessible only to those who have had at least one formal beginner's agility class. This is to keep you and your dog safe and to prevent misuse of the equipment. Please message the host when you book the spot and before your first visit to discuss your agility experience if you are wanting to access the equipment. **I would really like for your first visit to be on a weekend or a Tuesday (my day off) so that I can meet with you to show you some details about the property and discuss parking. After the first visit, book whenever you want! If you absolutely cannot make it these days for your first visit, we can work something out. 🙂

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

It’s the woods! Briars, roots, vines, ticks, wild blackberry bushes, mole holes in some of the open spots, wet areas, poison ivy, creek, swimming hole. Nature! Where the creek enters and exits the property, be aware that there are small areas where a determined dog could get through. We need to keep these small areas open for the visiting beavers who like to travel down the creek from the adjacent pond. Otherwise they chew our fence! 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 prefer to meet my guests on their first visits
Additional rules

I would like to meet guests before their first visit to show them options for parking and the general lay of the land. Anyone that is interested in using the agility equipment is required to have had at least a beginner's course in agility before being allowed to use the equipment. This is an important safety issue.

We love the quiet country life and enjoy offering our space to dogs who would not normally be able to stretch their legs!
