55Such a cute area, we loved getting to see the different animals! It was a great way for our boys to get introduced to other animals but with them securely in their own little space. Lots of different areas for the dogs to run and check out all the cool stuff. Melissa B.

55Such a great new spot. The dogs enjoyed zooming through the wooded area and the wide open space. The human and dogs all enjoyed the farm creatures. Fencing is secure as described. Note there's one low spot near the cow area that a dog that really wanted to could jump but there are plenty of other places to be than at the gate so shouldn't be an issue for most. The spot was easy to find with the street number being large on the mailbox And the parking spot marked clearly. Just don't be a dope and turn down the dirt road by the berries, turn down the actual gravel driveway just before the mailbox. Tonya K.

55This was the perfect place to bring my reactive GSD. She had lots of fun sniffing around, running through the wooded area, and playing fetch. I was pretty excited myself to see the cows (there’s a fluffy one!). Beware: if your dog loves water like mine does, there’s a good chance they are going to be leaving dirty. Bring a towel. The pond in progress is pretty yucky and my girl dove in head first before I could stop her 😂Lila T.

55Excellent farm with fully-fenced, clean, open yard — and lots of smells. When we pulled our car just past the gated entrance, our three pups spotted a cow from the backseat and lost their minds. The cow was nonplussed, and possibly a little amused. We shut the gate, found a parking spot and let the dogs loose. They loved every minute of their Sniffspot time, chasing balls and checking out chickens and pigs for the first time (through a fence). They did far better with the chickens and pigs. Elizabeth L.

55Our little family of 3 had a blast playing in a safe, clean, quiet field/forest area on a beautiful sunny day. We have cavalier king charles spaniels and they loved being able to run free. Barb was awesome and gave us some basic information and then left us to play on our own. We can't wait to go back.Angela E.
