Sammy's Safe Spot, LLC — Attraction in South Hill

Sammy's Safe Spot is amazing! One of our new favorite SniffSpots. It's clear that a lot of time, detail, and money went into making this space and it's greatly appreciated! Do I wish it was slightly less per hour so I could take my australian shepherd more often? Yes. Do I think it's a fair and reasonable price for the amenities? Also yes!

Im a single mom of 2 kids and we adopted a 4 yr old australian shepherd last year after moving into a rental house with yard. The yard is a bit small, and I didn't realize how much training she still needed and about a past trauma leading to reactivity and lack of socialization. Unfortunately this means it's nearly impossible to get her energy out properly! She's too reactive for dog parks still (but we're slowly working on it!) and she has limited recall (with minimal to no distractions) which were also working on. This means I can't let her off leash unless an area is fenced fully, but it also needs to be at least partially private and separated enough to ensure safety for her and other dogs.

I can't run fast enough or long enough to get her energy out, walking isn't enough, and the bicycle is was borrowing isn't accessible anymore (this was the closest fit we had to getting her energy out daily).

I truly appreciate SniffSpots like this that are completely secured, even better when they have basic amenities like Sammy's does!

I loved all the attention to detail like a watering spout (off during winter), treats, seats, wifi, a 'fetch' run, multiple agility stations, a poop bag and trash station, as well as a rinsing station by the parking spot.

My australian shepherd is now about to be 5 and we've worked a lot on reactivity, stay, sit, 'come' recall, not jumping, etc. But today was the first time we got to do agility work! She was unsure at first but did do the teeter totter and dog walk several times. I would normally never have access to training and exercise equipment like this being a single mom on unemployment now - so I can't thank you enough for...

This was a pretty cool experience. Our dogs really enjoyed stopping here, smelling the play area and even got them to go on some of the obstacle courses. My dogs are kinda skiddish so they didn't particularly enjoy the see-saw but everything else was great. They even have a dog washing station should you need it, but fortunately our babies stayed clean. Will definitely stop here again if we can and if there is availability as you need to reserve your play time. Most importantly, I felt the yard was pretty well maintained. We had been staying at an AirBnB where I found an enormous glass shard in the yard where our dogs were playing, but didn't feel like a search was required here and sure enough, our...

What a cool little spot! Just perfect for my little guy getting into the agility game. I ran him ragged & jumped him until he could jump no more. Private & cozy. A covered area with chairs for the rainy days. No distractions & was able to work with him one on one. Thanks to the owners of this property for having this available for all to enjo. Keep it going! I will be...
