55The spot is really peaceful and has huge, beautiful trees. The host was very accommodating- we had to change our day a few times, but we snuck in a visit between rain storms. It was obviously a little muddy - which made it even more fun for Halo and Jake! There’s a path to the creek - and I could hear it - but i couldn’t find it. (Not surprising - I can’t find my way most places!). I’ll ask for a guide or a hand drawn map and come back again. 🤣🐾Peggie H.

55I wish I could give 10 stars! Barbara was so sweet and thoughtful. She had a welcome sign with our names on it, along with dog treats for my pup. She also provided us with cold water, she had super clean water bowls for Stella. This place has so many amenities which you can see in my photos. If you are looking for a country setting, fun place with lots to do for your pup then Barbara’s place is the place you want to go! Very clean, quiet, and lots of room for your dog to run free.
We had the best time at Barbara’s well kept SniffSpot. We will be back for-sure! Tina S.

55Great open space! Your dog can explore and run full out and fetch a far as your thrower can go! The Host has two nice sitting areas on opposite ends of the property, a garbage can and fresh water for your dog. We picked up our waste and took it with us. No reason for the host to have to deal with it even in the garbage can. 🤣 well be back!!Matt A.

55Very nice spot. Plenty of space for your doggie(s) to run free and wild. Very clean and well maintained, the host is very nice, set up some water and chairs. My only critique, which is beyond the control of the host, is there are animals (sheep) in the next door area, that could distract your dog if your dog is distracted by animals, like mine was. Otherwise, I highly recommend.Renato -.

55This was a great sniff spot! We were greeted with a warm welcome, personalized message and treats!!! My pups enjoyed running, jumping and sniffing every bit of this wide open, immaculate play area. You can tell Barbara cared about everyone having a wonderful experience, from the ice water prepared for the dogs and humans. I could go on about what a nice morning we had and how much we enjoyed our time. Will be back soon! Lindsay B.

55Such a beautiful Sniffspot! There were two areas to choose from but my dogs really enjoy agility so we mostly stayed on that side. Fencing is completely secured in that area. Barbara was so sweet and left out a splash pad in the grass since it was a hot day. Our names with some treats were nicely displayed on the whiteboard before entering. We also had ice water for the dogs and humans! Lots of seating if needed. There were plenty of toys and enrichment activities- our new favorite spot!

55What an outstanding place to take my dogs! I have three dogs, one old one, one middle aged, and a one year old. I fully expected the baby to wear herself out running but all three had a great time! My middle-aged one is passed out on my lap right now. I highly recommend taking your dogs here! Darcy S.

55Our visit was excellent! The 1 acre was securely fenced, water and waste can were easily accessible. And there were comfotable chairs to relax in for us humans. What our GSP, Ralph, really enjoyed was being able to see all the ponies, goats and fowl on the othe side of the fence. There was plenty of space to stretch his legs. There are a couple of small barns, an in ground pool which added to his fun. I'm not sure if the owners allow dogs in their pool though. Ralph just wanted to run around it. This SniffSpot is in an area of small farms and ranches so expect to see other animals through the fence.
Depending on the time of year I would advice wearing mosquito repellent. Our pup had so much fun and we will be back often. Dale N.

55Sniffspot paradise! I took my three dogs here today and we all had a fantastic time! The dogs were busy talking to all the animals and sniffing and exploring every corner of the yard. The animals were unphased by the dogs, which was a relief for me. The owners were out and about the property, but left us to our sniffari. They were incredibly friendly. We had a great time and our hour went by fast. I came home with three pooped out pups! We will be back for sure!Cindy K.

55Our two big dogs had plenty of space to run and interesting things to sniff. They enjoyed the grass, visiting the goats and horses at the fence, and the chance to really open up and run. The directions for access were clear. Water and supplies for cleaning up were easy to find. A great space to spend an hour and bring home tired, happy dogs. Kim M.

There are farm animals right there so if your dog is reactive at all- might not be the best spot but for our two beagles- they loved all the sniffs and the company of the other animals. The host was SO SWEET!!!! We loved her so much! They have poop bags, toys and water! Will def go again!!!Courtney F.

FAQ about our Nevada City 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.
