What people say about dog parks around Raphine, Virginia

I am a professional dog trainer and brought my personal dog here to play and practice some training. Mary was very responsive to my messages and welcomed us to her property. The yard is not fenced so we brought a long line, but we still felt very safe. The grass was a good length and there were no hazards to worry about. My dog throughly enjoyed all the smells of nature!

This Sniffspot was so great! Charlie and Sissy had so much fun swimming and playing in the yard. We will certainly be back this summer!

This is my dog (which if course makes it mine also) dream retirement yard. The pool has 2 sets of stairs at perfect heights to lay down when he started getting tired, plenty of grass, perfect fencing, everything was perfect. And it was a hot day so the umbrella and couch for the adults was much appreciated! We will definitely be back and considering buying a membership just for this place! Parking was a bit unclear but we parked on the street / grass and it seemed to be fine (but please let me know if that was wrong for next time!).

Our dog had a GREAT time swimming in the pool. Also, they did a great job of having their blinds down to make it feel more private from the homeowners and their pets. I know my dogs would personally bark up a storm if they knew their were strangers in the backyard - super thoughtful to have the blinds down. Will be returning for sure!

Great spot for swimming! The pool is very pet friendly with steps at either end. We had no issues finding the gate into the yard, it is behind a shrub. All around great experience.

Our dog had the time of his life. He hasn’t had the opportunity to run wild for a couple months now and giving him that chance again was amazing. He ran laps after laps, we don’t like to go to traditional dog parks as he isn’t the best with other dogs so this being a option is awesome. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful farm land for my dogs to run around in . They were curious about the sheep and goats though they are separated. Michelle definitely thought through everything , Great for dogs that sneak out .

I really enjoyed our visit! The host was awesome and we enjoyed talking with her. The fields are fenced and have hills. It is a working farm with sheep, goats, etc. There will be manure in the fields as expected. Many dogs love to eat manure from farm animals because it contains grain. The farm & fields are well maintained.

Beautiful farm with securely fenced 20+ acre pasture for the dogs to play. My dogs and I really enjoyed it and will be back. The host, Michele, was super friendly and helpful and easy to communicate with for booking questions.

I recommend Michele's farm to everyone seeking to give their dog(s) a farm experience, off leash freedom, fetching... Wear your farm shoes. And be prepared for a warm southern welcome! We will return very soon. And look forward to learning more about the farm.

I visited Michele's spot for the first time today and loved it so much, I'm about to book another visit. Watching two dogs rip around freely, was awesome. Can't wait to go back!

Beautiful farm with great space for your dog to run around and explore in! Michele, the host, is super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back again!

This is a wonderful place to take dogs! I failed to properly plan and organize which led to the host having to hurry. However, she was still extremely patient with me! I highly recommend this spot!!

RACHEL D.

What a find! My dogs worked their noses and their legs exploring one of the pastures on Michele's beautiful farm. There were areas of sun and shade on a gentle hillside. The fence was secure. Do dress appropriately for walking in tall grass/weeds and possibly manure. We passed goats, sheep, cows, and dogs in other pastures while driving to our spot. Michele is an excellent host and so generous to share her land with other dogs and their people. We hope to visit again soon.
