55This is exactly what my sweet dog needs in her life!! Tinley absolutely loves new smells and to sniff but is shy and gets overwhelmed at dog parks sometimes. She had the BEST time sniffing the grass and running around! The host has a very well kept yard (no weeds or hazards at all!) and even left a bowl of water, some poop bags, a trash can, treats and a bottle of water for us which we definitely took advantage of! Tinley is trained to not go potty in yards so I took her for a short walk around the neighborhood before coming back and it was so nice to have the trash can out there so I could discard her poop from the walk before getting back in the car. We live in a high rise so this is such a God send! I will definitely be back! Christi P.

55This sniff spot was great! We were on a road trip and had a stop in Nashville and it was perfect for our dog to run around after all day in the car. It was clean and fully fenced and water and a bowl with some treats and a trash can and poop bag.Kathryn C.

55Los Locos really liked this spot. There is plenty of space to stretch out and run and even a bit of jungle to explore in the back. There is plenty of shade too. There are two Black Walnut trees. We have these in our yard too and Los Locos never play with the fruit but those with chewers should know they are not good for dogs. I think dogs naturally avoid them. There are lots of hackberry plants and Los Locos LOVE these. They are healthy snacking and if your dog gravitates towards eating the leaves no worries. I posted pictures of what they look like. The fencing is secure. Lots of fun was had!Gina C.

55It was such a nice spot! My dog loved running around and sniffing stuff and chasing the birds. The fence is super tall which is great because our dog is a jumper. Would definitely love to come back, our dog enjoyed it so much she was tired out after only 30 minutes. It was big enough to throw the ball and play fetch too! And lots of nice seating for the humans šKelley M.

55Very cute, clean yard with lots to sniff!
The neighbors and host both have dogs so keep that in mind if your dog is especially reactive. Though the host is very kind and said sheāll try to keep her dogs away from the window moving forward! Nothing anyone can do about neighbors, so itās just something to keep in mind.
Overall this yard was great! Though my reactive dog struggled with the other dogs for a couple minutes, this yard deserves 5 stars :) Heather D.

55We're working on our dog's reactivity to sounds and this was the perfect space for it! Just enough space for her to discover new-to-her scents and sounds, but secure enough to give her a bit of leash to explore on her own.Kristine C.

55Nice small spot! Fencing seemed very sturdy and street parking worked fine. There was a dog in the next door yard but it was super calm and didn't mind that we were running around. There was a small mix up with the address but if you look at the photos the host provided it's easy to see the entrance gate to the yard, the sidewalk goes right up to the entrance like he showed in the photos.Elizabeth S.
