55Nice shady area for pups to run around. Host was kind enough to leave a bowl of water. Small dogs can likely escape through the fence, but it was fine for my 60 lb hound. Wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. We will definitely be back—great exercise for my dog.Nanette C.

55Loved this spot! Beautiful setting and a great place to play with your pup. There is an under gate gap that could be concerning for small dogs. Molly W.

55Really positive experience here! There were horses and roosters roaming around outside the gates, but the area that was set up for the dogs was huge and open and free of animals. Horse poop and dog toys galore for the dog to sniff and play with. Our time went by in a flash because the dog was getting so much enrichment!Mark H.

55We really enjoyed our visit to Tauna’s horse paddock. The dogs had tons of fun and the dirt is prime for zoomies. Lots of shade and no holes in the fence. Any low spots had been blocked by logs obviously placed for blocking particularly adventurous pups from being able to wedge themselves under and out. There was fresh water ready and well maintained, beautiful property. Our dogs give it two paws up. Thank you so much for sharing the space with us! Zoë O.

55I really loved this space but my dog just wanted to eat horse poop the whole time :( The other pups enjoyed it! Secure fencing for big dogs, huge area. We need to work on lots of “leave it” to return. Laura S.

55Excellent communication and directions. On a very warm day in the Valley, we drove and enjoyed the shady trees and large area for our boys to run and explore. Yes, there were poop piles and non-biting flies, but we expected them. Our dogs did great with the "leave it" command and were more interested in the toys, new scents and horses at a distance. My reactive pup had the most fun. A dog barked in the distance when he heard my dog bark (otherwise quiet and out of sight 100%). He also was very aware of the horses but more interested in the fun we were having. Great practice!!Smiling now thinking of the joy they had today. Thank you for sharing your spot!!Cathy T.

55My dog was so happy here! It was a nice and peaceful place for me to visit, too. It is a horse paddock, so there is a lot of manure, as clearly mentioned in the description. If that bothers you or you don't want you and your dog to get dirty, this may not be the place for you. My dog loved it, though. We definitely plan to go back!Rebecca T.

55Awesome spot, lots of space to run and explore. Don’t be like me… pay attention to the directions to find the area, they are very clear and easy to follow (if you read them, which I did not at first.. oops my bad)!
There are lots of trees for shade on hot days, fresh water for the dogs, and two chairs provided for the humans. Also, there are a few balls, a chuck it, and other toys for the dogs to play with left at the yard. A great place for training with reactive dogs and puppies, as it is fully fenced in, and doesn’t share a fence with the horses directly, but the dogs can see the horses from one area of the yard. Thanks, my dogs loved exploring your yard! Christina A.

55Great location! Directions provided were spot on and very easy to follow.
Our dogs had a blast. We saw some horses and the host from afar which provided a great opportunity for training. The fence was super secure (my 40lb dog definitely could not escape through the fencing).
Would definitely visit again. Thi P.

55This is was an absolute great getaway treat for both of us! Sunny, shady fenced and very peaceful. My doggie is fear reactive around other dogs, so this was a great space to run, play and sniff-without "off leash" unexpected threats.
I totally recommend!

55We had the greatest time here with our dog! The parking is very close to the paddock entrance and the space itself is full of trees, logs, stumps and other great things for dogs to smell. It is beautiful, too! Most of the fencing is very secure, there is one area that was lower that some big dogs may be able to jump over. The gate where you enter should be secured tightly with the chain after you go in because your dog may be able to push it open and slip through the gap if there is too much slack on the chain. I kept my dog on a long line because he likes to jump over and nose through gates and fences, which we are working on. We could see horses and one woman working with the horses while we were there and my dog enjoyed seeing the horses, running around, and most of all sniffing everything!Elizabeth R.

55Hard to find, google map took us completely out of the way. Sigh. But we found it. Not the best for our reactive dog since the horses were close to this paddock. Ended up being a training session for her.Heather H.

55This sniffspot was absolutely amazing. The drive up is beautiful and the directions Tauna provided are perfect. The paddock was clean and secure and we were able to let our three large dogs off leash. The paddock had fresh water for our dogs, balls and a chuck-it. We don't take our dogs to dog parks so this was such a great opportunity for our dogs to run in a large space. We will definitely be returning regularly. Alex P.

FAQ about our Felton 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.
