55Wow, what an amazing yard! I'm so grateful to Tony for making his yard a Sniffspot because we had an incredible time. There is a path on one side of the yard, but my reactive dog didn't even notice or care when dogs walked by or electric scooters zoomed past because Tony has black mesh on the fence to block the sight. That was my #1 concern, but now I see I didn't need to worry at all. It was super fun to try out some of the agility equipment for the first time - Harry did great weaving, running through the tunnel and jumping over the bars! We will absolutely be back!Emma K.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and we already can't wait to come back. Not only did our pup have the time of his life, but so did my 9 year old! The tree swing was a dream come true for the kiddo. Between all the new sniffs, the huge amount of space to throw his frisbee wheel, and the agility challenges, Moose was busy and engaged the whole time. He is an anxious, reactive dog so this place is such a gift. Thank you for sharing your incredible yard!Karen S.

55Our dogs love this spot, so peaceful and so much to smell, tons of room to run and play. We have been here multiple times and have yet to encounter anyone else or any other dogs even on adjacent trail. This spot sets a high bar.Susan C.

55This is a great spot. Lots of room to run and fun agility equipment to try. Lots of traffic noise that made my cautious dog nervous at first. She got used to it in a few minutes so it was a great experience. Janet O.

55My dogs loved running around! We didn’t stay our whole visit because it was a little chilly, but the girls got their energy out and enjoyed the area. One of mine tried to figure out some of the agility equipment but was unsuccessful ;)Sarah O.
