55I took my 2 reactive boys to this sniffspot and they loved it!
I was a little nervous as it wasn't a privacy fence but on one side is a large open field and on the back and other side there are bushes/trees that really give the yard lots of buffer between the fence and the neighbors.
They had a big bucket of water, some big trees and some areas that were full sun. Plenty of chairs to sit on and just generally a really easy place to use and enjoy!Leah R.

55This was our first time trying a Sniffspot location and we loved it! Parking is super convenient and the yard is big with plenty of space for our dog to run and sniff. We will definitely be back. Mary H.

55My boys and I had a great time! Plenty of running space. They are big dogs and could reach full sprinting speed. They loved exploring and didn't even bark the entire time. We will be back again soon!Edward H.

55If your dog likes to play fetch this is the spot. There's off street parking on their driveway off to the left side. The entrance to the yard is also in front of where you park. You won't be disappointed. Andrea C.

55WOW -- this is my dream yard! I was able to chuck my dog's tennis balls with full strength, and he had so much fun running after them. It was awesome to watch him stretch his (looooong) legs! 10/10 :)Paige H.

55Really nice space that my dog loved romping around in. Lots to sniff and explore and there’s even a dedicated parking spot out front. Fencing was great, area was clean. Some spaces leave out water but this one didn’t (maybe because it was so cold) and we did hear some traffic and other dogs, but it didn’t ruin the fun for my sweet FloraSavannah S.

55Host was incredibly flexible when we were running super late and even turned the light on for us when it got dark.
My dog loves this backyard. It’s nice and long so she gets to get some good laps in Savannah S.

55This spot is like a park -- beautiful tall cottonwoods and maples, a very long fenced run. Our dog loved it, lots to discover -- we'll go back! Very clear what to do, where to leave waste bags, etc. Beth C.

55Big yard so dogs could really run! We checked out the bee house - it doesn’t seem to pose a hazard in the location where it is. It wasn’t too hot when we were there, but there’s a little kiddie pool that the dogs could cool off in if needed and plenty of fresh water. Didn’t see neighbors or neighbor dogs, it’s really private! We’re keeping it on our rotation! Jill L.
