Summary: <p>When David Adams' girlfriend traveled with her dog, she had an issue: The dog only liked to pee in yards. Adams, who had previously build a site for people looking for short-term apartment rentals, had an idea: What if there where people could rent... yards? So, he built SniffSpot.com, which allows people to rent out their fenced-in outdoor spaces to dogs, hourly. Annie and David discuss how this innovative service may revolutionize the way dogs are able to exercise and socialize. </p> <p>Learn more at <a href="//SniffSpot.com">SniffSpot.com</a>. </p> <p>Like this episode!

Why don’t you just go ahead and tell me about yourself and your really interesting business.</p> <p>David Adams:</p> <p>Yeah, yeah, definitely. Thanks for having me. So Sniff Spot, maybe I’ll start by telling you how it came about and I can talk about it a little bit.</p> <p>Annie:</p> <p>And if you don’t mind, tell me your full name and where you’re based.</p> <p>David:</p> <p>Yes. So my full name is David Adams and I’m currently living in Boston.</p> <p>Annie:</p> <p>Okay. And Sniff Spot. Is Sniff Spot your baby?</p> <p>David:</p> <p>Yes. Yes. One of them, one of them.</p> <p>Annie:</p> <p>Oh, okay. Well, are there other babies that we’re going to need to know about?</p> <p>David:</p> <p>There are other babies, there are two fur babies named Soba and Toshi, and they came before Sniff Spot and they actually inspired Sniff Spot.</p> <p>Annie:</p> <p>So what is Sniff Spot for those who don’t know?</p> <p>David:</p> <p>Yeah. So Sniff Spot is Airbnb for dog parks. The idea is that anyone can offer their land or their yard as a safe and private space for dogs to play. And people that have dogs can book hourly for private time with their dogs, for exercise, training, whatever they want.</p> <p>Annie:</p> <p>That’s such an interesting idea. So when did you first come up with this idea and tell me about its evolution</p> <p>David:</p> <p>Yeah, so I was living in Seattle at the time. And I had just met this wonderful woman who is now my wife and I had my dog Soba and she had her dog Toshi. And I was going around to dog parks with Soba. I was a first time dog owner and just kept having bad experiences. Soba is high energy, she’s a lab pit mix. And I needed to exercise her, but dog parks, you know, there were dogs there she didn’t get along with. They felt dirty and not hygienic. So I was feeling dissatisfied.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Full Transcript available at <a href="https://www.schoolforthedogs.com/podcasts/episode-128-air-b-and-pee-sniff-spot-allows-dog-owners-to-rent-peoples-yards-genius/">SchoolfortheDogs.com/Podcast</a></p>
