55We live out of state and come here every time we are in town to give our big dog a chance to run after being in the car for so long. The dog park has been wonderful on every single visit (clean, mowed, well kept...water bowl, seating and even toys) and I am so thankful the family has chosen to share their property. I cannot think of a think that could make our visits more perfect!!Christine W.

55If I could give more stars I would. We had a blast and definitely will be back! Extremely easy to navigate and find the property. Since it was our first visit, there was someone to greet us who presented a welcome card with helpful info and guided us on where to park. He even tossed my pup a ball and refilled the water! For reference, my pup is about 100 lbs and had plenty of room to run around full tilt playing fetch. The dog park itself was clean and well maintained with a beautiful view of horses, cows, and a creek. Cannot recommend booking enough! Erika P.

55The dog park area was neatly groomed, very clean with a shaded place to sit while your pet enjoyed the toys provided by the farm. There was a self watering container for dogs as well as “poopy bags” for cleaning up after your dog. It was a very nice large area that my dogs loved! I have small dogs that can get out of the tiniest places but there was no place for them to get out. It was very safe and well groomed grassy area. There were also treats if you chose to purchase them. It was great to be able to reserve the spot so that you didn’t have to worry about the dogs getting along with others. They thought of everything! Janet L.

55We LOVED our experience!! Our girl had lots of room to run around off leash, had toys she could use, and ended the whole thing with a much needed bath in their wash station!! The property is beautiful and the family is beyond sweet and accommodating!! mckenna r.

55They are so kind and have such a great set up for the dogs! My sweet girl had so much fun running around and sniffing every square inch of the large, fenced in area. She had cool, fresh drinking water available to her, thanks to the owners, which was awesome in the summer heat. It was so nice to be able to let her explore and play off leash in a safe, clean, fenced in area. The dog washing station looked great, and I will definitely be keeping it in mind for future visits. We had a blast and look forward to enjoying this sniffspot again in the future!Alexandrea H.

55First Sniffspot visit. Nice fenced area. I was a little worried if my dog would try to get out of the wood rail fence, but it has a wire mesh inside. Water, hand sanitizer, and toy bin included. The owner met us and showed us around. Nice seating area that is shaded in the afternoon. Norma W.

FAQ about our Shelbyville 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.
