55The Pond in the Pines was beautiful. The water is so clean, and lots of space. My pup doesn’t do well with recall, so it was almost too much space for him ha ha. But it was the perfect spot to spend his birthday. Gabby C.

55Wow! Perfect place to enjoy time with the furkids! We had a great time playing in the water, on the grass, and catching multiple toys. Definitely a Top Spot for us and a must if you're in Columbia. We'll be back for sure!Cyn D.

55My dog, Hank and I had a lovely time at the peaceful & serene ‘’Pond in the Pines’’, this morning! Hank enjoyed walking the property, laying under the cool canopy of a big pine tree, & smelling new scents. In addition, he loved the Elk bite treats that the hostess has for sale. Hank & I will be back in the near future! Thank you, Rini! Paige & HankPaige F.

55Such an amazing place for enrichment for my pups!!! One of my dogs can be a bit dog reactive when he’s stressed out and my other is in heat so I was struggling to find something that would get them out of the house. I stumbled apon this sniff spot and reached out. My dogs LOVED it!! They are exhausted and had the zoomies basically the entire time they were there. We will be back!Kailey C.

55My dog always has a wonderful time here. He has never been a fan of water, but he tried the pond and had the best time. I am also super comfortable letting him off leash because the area is clean and fully fenced. Thanks for making this area available!!!Jennifer M.

55Lots of room for my dog to run around in the grass, and the Pond is awesome! My Dog enjoyed walking around the pond, and even ventured into the water a bit. There are ducks and chickens, however they are on one side and fenced in. Love this spot. Will definitely go back. Jennifer M.

55Beautiful with lots of room for my dog to run and explore, while still being fenced in. Very peaceful except for the occasional chicken and duck sounds. Easily accessible from the I-20 interstate. Overall an excellent experience!Melissa C.

55Despite being focused around a pond, this was one of the least buggy Sniffspot I have been to in the area. It was well-maintained and all of the wildlife was very cute. I felt the fence was excellent and able to keep my dog inside, which is a feat since I have a husky. However, it is a large fenced in area that circles the house, so in theory your dog can go up onto the owners porch/home. It’s almost TOO big. if your dog has great recall, this would be an ideal location. I left mine on a long line in case I needed to grab her quickly but have never felt as comfortable with a fence as I have with this one. Rachel K.

55We loved the pond in the pines! It’s quiet and private. Our dog loved the pond and running through the field where the grapevines are.
The ducks were precious! I wouldn’t recommend this space if your pup is reactive to chickens/ducks, because they are visible. The chickens/ducks are safe and away from danger in their pens, but if a dog sees them and has reactive tendencies, it could really stress the birds out. I wasn’t sure if my pup would do well in that situation, but I’m glad I gave him a chance because with some distraction and encouragement he quickly left the birds alone and we had a good time.
The fence is secure and high so I never had to worry about it, which was a relief. The space is clean and the pond and surrounding trees make for a very pretty scene. We will be back!

55This was our first SniffSpot and it was an amazing experience! The property is beautiful and clean. The pond is great but there’s also plenty of space to run around for dogs who aren’t interested in swimming. The fences felt very secure. Winry had a blast!Ashlyn H.

55Absolutely beautiful location! Very clean and great accommodations. My Velcro clinger loved sniffing around the beautiful pond and listening to the ducks and chickens. He pretended to be a goat and eat the grass, did his zoomies and rolled in the grass. I will definitely schedule again for next weekend and remember ti bring his water bottle. 💙 I highly recommend this location. Melissa B.

The property is very clean, very well-maintained, and the directions from the host are very clear and thorough.
Our girl Nola can be a bit reactive so we are so grateful Rini has opened up this beautiful and wonderful spot so she can get all her zoomies out and be a dog!Samantha L.

55My girl loved the pond and the fish in the pond! She loved the ball there too and likes to play “soccer”. I was worried there wasnt fencing in one area but turns out that just goes to the back yard and it is indeed fully fenced! Great for pups to go run around. Halie T.

55Nice property for letting your dogs run around off-leash. It is also a great spot for your pup to roll around in waterfowl poop if your dog finds that fun. Our beagle doesn't discriminate and is just as likely to dive in cat poop on his leashed walks. Wish it wasn't so.Jill S.

FAQ about our Columbia dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How can I find dog agility parks in Columbia?
There are 3 dog agility parks in the Columbia area. The most popular dog agility park is Pond in the Pines. You can browse all of our dog agility parks here.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs 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. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
