55Wonderful space! Great for humans as well with the lovely shade and seating. Fresh water in the bowl as well as the kiddie pool - which my dog absolutely loves! Got a great hour of ball chasing and just enjoying the peaceful setting. Well marked parking and super clean. Definitely a do again space.Marieanne C.

Kelly's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Candler | Sniffspot
55I cannot more emphatically and enthusiastically say that Kelly’s property was PERFECT for our three dogs. The fence was very secure, the yard is mowed, flat and very clean. There are plenty of toys, a kiddie pool and seating for you to have a comfortable visit. While you can see traffic passing by, it is very private and we felt at home to romp around with our dogs and play. Our dogs, who vary in age, ability and speed, all had the best time and all three are worn out and happy tonight. I cannot wait to bring them back here again and again. Thank you Kelly, for providing this amazing gem to the pups!Laura B.

55Amazing fun! This was our first SniffSpot experience and we all loved it! Huge space for running & tracking & there was even a swim hole. My two pups were exhausted afterwards. I plan on making this a weekly excursion.Emily E.

55This was our first Sniffspot and we couldn't have picked a better location. Our dogs ran, jumped, played in the creek and frolicked in this expansive fenced in-field for the full hour. We will for sure be back!Meagan N.

55This is my second time at this spot and I will go back. The land is gorgeous and the dogs have a blast exploring. There are chairs, a hammock and bug spray (nice touch!), but no water so bring your own. The listing states grass will be long and it was pretty long…ideally the grass would be a bit shorter so the dogs can run a little easier but the host is clear about this on the listing and that is appreciated.Angie S.

55This spot was great for our two dogs - there was a good mixture of shade and sun and plenty of space for them to run. The land is on a bit of a hill so dogs can go out of sight but the fence is secure. There wasn’t a ton of water in the creek the day we went but I’m sure that depends on timing. Hannah A.

55This is a HUGE fenced field! It's right next to a cow pasture which for some might not be ideal but for me and my dog it was pretty neat! She's never seen an animal that big before. They didn't mind her initial barking and ignored her excited zoomies. This would be a great place to practice off leash recall with some distractions.Sam B.

55Great space with lots of room to run! Big hills to tie them out. My dogs did manage to get outside the fence somewhere near the creek but it's remote and I didn't have to worry about cars. They did come back after about 10 minutes of looking. Still a great place though.Denise Y.

FAQ about our Sylva 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sylva 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 83 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 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.
