55It's a large yard with so many new smells plus lots of toys to play with. My pup spent the majority of her time smelling everything and barking lol. It is quite noisy due to the road and the what I'm guessing was a rooster next door. Trixie had a great time and is now pooped.Megan D.

55We had an incredible time at this sniffspot! The owner is incredibly responsive and accomodating and she had fresh water and treats available. The property is gorgeous, clean and it gave Arlo plenty of room to stretch his legs, chase after his ball and see/smell lots of new things. It was quiet and peaceful and he had the best time. He is one tired, happy pup. The fresh eggs are a definite plus and we will definitely be making this a regular play spot! Amanda G.

55A perfect spot for any dog! There’s a little pond, plenty of space for fetch and frisbee, and a nice hammock to relax in if you feel like a nap. The chicken coop and the horses next door really give it a cute country vibe. Tessa is very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!Cascade P.

55Such a treasure to find so close to us. It's a great spot for our scent oriented dog. There is a coop of chickens who have been loose in the space, and that added to the appeal. Room to run and a pond add to the fun. I do think my boy could get out of the fence but he didn't try because he had so much to do. The hosts were great! Tracy J.

55Wonderful spot with lots of interesting things for your dog to sniff and observe. Fitz loved it and we will definitely be back! Tessa was very accommodating and greeted us when we arrived. She confirmed how to access the area so we didn’t have to guess (but the directions in the posting are perfect!)Lizzi K.

55Very neat spot! Perfect for playing fetch or letting your dogs run and play. The chickens were secure and no other dogs were visible/audible, so it was perfect for our friends reactive dog to let loose and have some fun. The yard was secure and it felt secluded and private, would definitely come here again!Laurie L.

55We visited Shaw Field sniffspot and found it to be a great space. It was muddy in places but overall a good place to let the pups run and play. When its dryer we'll be back! My pup loved the pond! A peaceful spot. Lisa M.

55We had a lovely messy, muddy time; all the things that dogs love! balls to chase, discarded balls to find, pond to clean off before leaving... (this of course was favored by mom!). Fun time for a pup whose mom broke her shoulder.Jill R.

55We had a blast!! It was not the ideal weather conditions; raining very wet. But we don't mind! Our 2 like the rain and enjoy an occasional mud romp! This spot has it all...if you don't mind allowing a good old fashioned wet/mud dog funfest. We brought towels and needed baths. On a dry day, looks like there will still be a pondish water area, a few mud spots and plenty of space to sniff and roll. There's toys and bush/tree areas to run through/hide. Fencing was just fine for us (41 and 24 pounds medium sized) Our pups didn't even notice the chickens-visible/audible and well contained. Easy access. I give it 5 stars because we knew exactly what to expect our first time even on a rainy day. Sandi R.

FAQ about our South Hill 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the South Hill area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 341 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 42 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
