55My dogs and i had such a wonderful time here playing fetch and exploring!
55We keep coming back. A favorite
55Great spot - my pup loved it! Lots of space for him to run and roam. Felt completely out of the city and in middle of nature. Appreciate the water that was available in the bowl. Owner was very responsive and accommodating when we ran late! Thank you for letting us keep the full hour still! Will definitely be back!
55Beautiful place. Steep uphill climb thru woods to meadow at the top. Water @ top was greatly appreciated. The dogs had a great time exploring. I noted there were signs on side trails that said No Trespassing, so I called the dogs off those. Fencing @ bottom was secure. I actually couldn't see the fencing up top, but assuming it was the same. Could hear a neighbor dog, but not seen. There are sheep near the entrance, but that's where the dogs are on leash, and once in sniff spot area, they are not near.
55This is a great place! After getting to walk by some of the owners cute farm animals, you enter another gate and it’s like they have their own campground out back! My dogs loved running the hill, the tall grass, and the muddy water to splash in
55Easy to find, easy to enter, well-signed, great variety of grass heights and trees with spaces for sniffing and open spaces for fetch
55I love having private space available to run our dogs. No worries about how they might react to other dogs, people, or kids. It was our first SniffSpot and an excellent experience. Gwen’s space is full of interesting smells, sounds, and trees to hide behind. They loved it!
55First time to Shady Hill and it was excellent. Gwen’s instructions before we arrived were spot on and the space was perfect for our little romp. Neighbor dogs are heard from the spot and if you search really hard you can see them as well however my normally reactive terrier didn’t seem to notice or mind. We will definitely be back.
55Great open area for ball throwing and wooded areas for sniffing. We appreciated the water provided and the thorough directions for accessing the location.
55Such a great spot!! The grass was surprisingly soft and there was lots of area to explore.

Description

Welcome to Shady Hill Hobby farm! Our farm offers a wooded pasture with a creek (note: during summer months the creek is muddy) that is fully fenced with horse fencing or barbed wire (see pictures). The gate at the end of the gravel path begins your off-leash experience! Once inside, you'll have the option to take a left to enjoy the creek or continue up the hill to explore the woods and pasture. Upon entering the farm, parking will be on your right. Please park your vehicle on the wood chips. Given this is an active farm with chickens and ducks free ranging we do ask that you keep your dog(s) on a leash until you are behind the Sniffspot gate. You are also welcome to observe the farm animals while your dog is leashed as well. We hope you enjoy our farm as much as we do. ~ Hall Family

Welcome to Shady Hill Hobby Farm. Our family has resided here since 2015 and we've enjoyed raising a variety of animals. Our friends have had fun letting their dogs explore the pasture which gave us the idea to open it up for others.

Hello and welcome to our Sniffspot! We hope you enjoy your time here. Just a reminder to please pick up the toys and water bowls that you use when here and place them in the 'used/dirty bin'. This ensures a clean space for the pups that visit after you. Thanks! It's a large, open one acre pasture with plenty of room to run and play. Tall fir trees, our home and other single family homes surround the property. There are neighbors who walk their dogs or play with their dogs in their yards. There are no shared fence-lines but we are noting this in case your dog might be reactive or sensitive to seeing and hearing other dogs and people. There are also chickens nearby - see note below. Double gated entrance for security. Park along the fence on the gravel drive. Plenty of room for your pup to enjoy the zoomies! A few things below to note, thank you! *🎾💦 For the toys and water bowls, we have labeled bins for 'clean' and 'dirty/used'. Please utilize items from the clean containers and then place in used/dirty so we can thoroughly clean them. There are cleaning materials in case you would like to sanitize or self-clean bowls or toys. Thank you! * 🥾The terrain of the pasture does have some dips, bunny holes and there is a section of mown grass, as well as a portion of longer pasture grass, and sticks from the fir trees. Wearing solid and/or waterproof shoes will help you navigate the land. *💦 There is a water jug and spigot with hose in the pasture to use for drinking water. If you use the spigot, please be sure to turn it off. There are small plastic pools available for warm days. You are welcome to use a pool, but please empty it after use and return it to the fenceline area. *💡we have 4 sets of string lights on our fence, two small solar spotlights on the fence, and one large spotlight on the far power pole (motion sensor). It adds some brightness to the pasture for evening visitors. Note that since it is an acre lot, there is a portion of the pasture that is still quite dark once the sun is fully set. *🐓 There are two hens and one rooster on a neighboring fence line and the gate to their henhouse yard has a sign (don't let the chickens out, no matter what they say), as well as a secure gate latch plus bungee cord. They will stay on the far side of their yard, and hide under the shrub/tree cover so are usually not be visible from the Sniffspot pasture, but wanted to share in case this is bothersome to some pup guests. Our rooster, as well as neighborhood roosters, are regularly heard. *please note: due to the burn ban, wildland fires and the dryness of our land, we ask for no smoking on the property at this time, thank you
