55Pond in the Pines is exactly as advertised! Ruby loved exploring and sniffing the three different areas: a field, the pond, and the woods. She did the agility tunnel, drank some pond water, ran, and sniffed to her hearts content. The pond is beautiful: clean, well kept, and dog friendly. If your pups love to swim, this Sniffspot can't be beat. Even if your pup isn't as water-loving, like our Ruby, there is plenty to do and they will have an amazing time while you enjoy the view. A wonderful time as had by all and we will be visiting again (and again)!Christee P.

55Our dogs had a blast. We needed somewhere to test their life jackets before they go on boat trips. Needless to say it's going to take a few more trips before they're comfortable lol. But they had a blast swimming in the shallow water and running in the spacious yard. Very accommodating! Alianna F.

55Excellent time! Dogs had a blast, they are cautious around water so it was a great experience for them to get more comfortable without being overstimulated by other people or dogs.Kelly M.

55I think my Lola 🐶 enjoyed the scent of the ducks more than anything! She really enjoyed herself. The pictures don’t do this place any justice, IT’S HUGE! Super spacious and a lot of roaming for her sniff. It’s clean, quiet and really peaceful. We will definitely be back! Keisha B.

55We enjoyed our visit! The farm has beautiful grassy lanes and woods to explore. It borders Monticello Road, so my pup was on a long line during our visit. The entrance is a little difficult to see, so it's good to slow down and look carefully. Also, there are some odds and ends of lumber and other detritus on the property, but this is totally to be expected on old farm property. We look forward to a return visit!Jennifer W.

55Unfortunately it was raining, thundering, and lightning when my dog and I visited. But the pond was so wonderful and we still had so much fun!! There were several toys available which was awesome since I forgot all my tennis balls at home. Had it not been for the weather my dog would’ve been in heaven. I will certainly be going back on a sun shiney day.Maddie B.

55This was the perfect place to take our dog for an Easter egg hunt. He had more than enough room to run, play and sniff. He even overcame his fear and went swimming in the pond for the 1st time. There’s plenty of accommodations upon arrival and we had no issues locating or accessing the sniff spot. We’ll definitely be back!Sofia M.

55We just had our second visit and it did not disappoint! My girl is getting more confident around water, thanks to the pond. Lots of room for her to run full tilt! I would still highly recommend and visit again!

55This was our first time visiting a Sniffspot. Wow! “Pond in the Pines” was wonderful - we were not disappointed. Our energetic Vizsla Renny had a great time sniffing, running, exploring, playing, and even wading in the water (cold, but he didn’t care)!
We are currently driving from Massachusetts to Florida, so an early morning stop at “Pond in the Pines” was a perfect way to wear him out a bit before hitting the road again.
We appreciated the huge, clean, safe, fenced-in space and loved having it to ourselves. Thank you so much!

FAQ About Columbia 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.
