Handyland - A private getaway in the rolling hills of Kentucky | Sniffspot
55This SniffSpot is THE spot of NKY. It is simply perfect. We have absolutely nothing but spectacular things to say about, and we have recommended to all of our canine friends missing out on this app. The property begins with an open field (maintained mixture of grasses) with a clear even path guiding you down into the woods. There are two different paths to choose from as you descend through the trees towards the creek. The hill is steep; however, it is easy to navigate without worry of keeping your footing. Once we made it to the creek access, there was a large, flat grassy area to romp with sporadic younger trees closer to the creek bed. The creek itself is full of water while still having multiple places for "rock hopping" and exploring. Our pupper had an absolute blast getting wet and muddy doing zoomies through the creek, into the aforementioned forest, and back down into the water. We chose the second route option to climb back up to the homestead, and it honestly was not too difficult. On the way up, there's an additional open field with three massive pine trees offering a scenic route to the pond and deck overhang before making it back home. We have already booked our second visit, and it will certainly not be our last. We highly recommend this property and experience!Rachel B.

55This place is truly exceptional! The trails are well-groomed and signposted. Our Labrador Retrievers quickly found the creek and had a wonderful time exploring it. Given the abundance of things to discover, I'll be booking two hours in the future. The host was extremely accommodating, and we plan to return as often as possible.Judee A.

55So much space for our dog Lea to romp! The property had a well marked path down to a creek through some trees. She ran and ran and then ran some more! She had a blast. We really enjoyed our time there and plan to go back. Everything was as described and great communication from Josh. Retta R.

55We had the most wonderful time! This was the first time in so long I’ve been able to let my dog off leash and had no anxiety or didn’t feel like I had to have my guard up. The property was beautiful and had a great mix of terrain. Moose was able to run freely and was so tuckered out after our day. Caroline C.

55It was awesome! Our dogs were running around and having a blast and the owner of the property was very helpful and accommodating. I will 100% bring my dogs back.
Only thing if you have a little dog (which I do) might want to get a hawk vest just in case! Ours was perfectly safe but in case you want that extra protection I’d recommend. Desire M.

55This was our third visit to Handyland, and we will certainly be returning. Come visit NOW while you can still enjoy the early Spring blooms! Make your way down to the creek and see the magical, fairy-like landscape among the massive sycamores. Both dogs had an absolute blast today. Thank you, Josh! Rachel B.

FAQ about our Owenton dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Owenton area range from $9.0 and $9.0. The least expensive dog field is Fenced Yard in Lake Forest Park. The most expensive dog field is Fenced Yard in Lake Forest Park. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
