55Perfect for off leash and strolling. Clean and well designed.
55Perfect place. Big clean pond, with occasional ducks landing on the water. It’s a perfect enrichment for my city pup to watch the duck! She had so much fun. Not to mention the sanitary station with pet wipes! So thoughtful! The host is so very nice, and I can tell she is very professional as a dog trainer just from how she handled my pup when she was too excited and pulling me, and when she saw the chickens and on the verge of a reactivity when I kinda got lost a bit and didn’t act up. It’s such an amazing experience
55Excellent location. Well kept. So much for my boy to explore and experience. Everything annd more than you could need. Owner is extremely nice and helpful. We will be back again soon!
55This place was amazing and Kathy was super welcoming. Would love to visit again if we’re in the area!
55First visit to the Pond and it was a lot of fun. New areas for them to explore, lots of room to run and patrol. One dog even swam across the pond. We booked the Lure course which was cool to try. Great signage, very clean Sniffspot. We will be back! Thanks!
55Awesome!
55Magical!
55The place is amazing. There's toys and poop bags provided. Benches are set throughout so you can relax and watch your pups have a blast. It's well worth the dr
55Of the many Sniffspots that I've been to, this one is amazing. It was worth the drive for both my dog and me. The pond was clean as was the property. The hour went by far too fast.
55Been here many times. My dog always has a blast and the owner puts a lot of care and thought into this sniffspot; balls/Frisbee to throw, acres to walk/run, poop bags, and even a clean portapotty for the humans.
