55Directions were very clear! I really appreciate that the trail was visibly marked and maintained. The creek was super fun and we had a blast! I didn't see a trash can so make sure you have an air tight container in case of poop bags that need to go back with you in your vehicle. Jessica D.

55Very nice trail. It is well marked and peaceful. Between the shade and the creek access, it is a great option for warm days. We will definitely be back. Katrina M.

55Our first sniffspot! We had so much fun. It was cold and windy and snowing but our fur kids had a great time. Easy to find and back in the country so it was peaceful. Directions to the spot were perfect. Space is huge and the photo booth is adorable. We will be back!Kimberly R.

55It’s a great, clean and secure space. There was a both set up so you could take St. Patrick’s Day photos of your pups. Lots of running space. Mine liked smelling the bails of hay. It reminds my older one of doing barn hunt. Nonie H.

55My first ever sniff spot & it was a great one! I received full instructions about parking, water bowls, etc, before I went - but even if I hadn’t everything was very clearly marked! The fenced area is fully secure and spacious. There’s lots of agility equipment and also the owner provides water, bowls, towels, toys, and poop bags. My pittie girl loved exploring, sniffing, running after balls, and playing on the agility. Can’t wait to go again!Brooke M.

55This venue was fantastic for our pup! There was plenty of room to run, lots of quality toys, and he even had a chance to investigate some of the equipment. Katie S.

55So I've been to a few great sniffspots and this place is just the best for us. What distinguishes it from others?
1. Separation from house/residence- separate area with natural, and fenced barrier between host and play area. You don't have to retrieve your dogs from sniffing their porch and deck, which feels weird as the visitor.
2. Bins- the toy bin just becomes familiar and popular. My dogs run over their and get their favorite balls and know it's play time. Huge plus.
3. Water- clean bowls and pump, enough said.
4. Completely fenced and secure. No escape. We've met up with our friend and their super escape artist and marathon runner Sasha (Husky) and had no issues.
5. Trash cans for waste- you don't have to drop off the poop in the host trash can by their house. It's clearly available and accessable.
6. Parking and access- clear and easy pad to park with entrance to sniffspot.
All in all this place is like Fletcher and Carson's (#flyeaglesfly) second back yard. I live in Olney with plenty of outdoor walking and play space and we still go here weekly because they love it that much. Michael B.

55Nice open area, do not have to worry about running into any other patrons there (my dog has been reactive to others on leash).
So I felt more confident and could fully enjoy it too. My first time, it was great!Deborah G.

55My pups loved having all the space to run around, play fetch, and explore. The yard was very clean, and having water on site is super helpful. I loved that there was a spot for humans as well with shade, chairs and a table. This is an awesome spot and we can’t wait to come back. Caroline J.
