55This is a fantastic spot for dogs! Michele is so kind and has a bunch of different fenced pastures for dogs to run and play. My little guy Rufus loved running through the pasture and sniffing all the good animal smells. We will definitely be back 😊Racheal S.

55What 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.RACHEL D.

FAQ about our Ruckersville dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ruckersville area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 147 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 14 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
