55This spot was amazing for my dogs! I recently got a puppy and we’re struggling with wearing out his energy. This spot provided multiple different options of toys to choose from and so much land for him and my older dog to run around in! Alexis R.

55Great spot! Met up with a friend and their dog. The two of them had such a fantastic time. The space has lots of room to run and lots of good smells for sniffing. There's a shelter for the humans, a box of toys and water. Everything you need. Highly recommend!Linda L.

55Thayer Ridge was the perfect spot to host some of our dog’s friends for fun birthday play!
The spot was clean, flat, well-fenced, and well-stocked with fun toys!
We had so much fun playing fetch and running about. The hosts even went above & beyond and left our dog a sweet birthday card! We’ll definitely be back again soon to run and play!! Marinda B.

55What a great field for dogs to play and sniff around!  The property is very clean and well set up.  I loved that the field absorbs water so well. It had poured rain the day prior and the field wasn’t the least bit muddy or slippery. We had a great time and we can’t wait to come back!Jennifer K.

55Thayer Ridge Acres is perfect to get all those zoomies out of your pup. The fence is secure. The grounds grassy and clean. Everyone cleans up after themselves! There’s a clean water bowl and fresh water (as well as hose). Toys available- including chuk-it’s.
The layout of the space is perfect to exercise the dogs. One can play fetch until their legs fall off.
We saw no other animals but heard a rooster, which the dogs ignored(too busy running after the ball). We expected our dogs to be muddy even though the setting is primarily grass and it had rained- nope just wet paws. Our pups were happily passed out on the car ride home. We will be back regularly!

55James and his wife's sniffspot was a fantastic spot for a stranger/dog reactive border collie we were watching. Everything is as listed. I appreciate the covering on one of the fences to prevent visually interacting with possible triggers. The site was quiet, open, and just what we needed for the sweet dog to run around in a safe space. I would recommend this sniffspot. Natalie M.
