Start claiming territory in your neighbourhood
Begin with the streets you already walk. Colour them in, close a few blocks, then expand one street at a time.
What are sniff spots in Patch?
Some places are just better. Dogs know. Sniff spots let you mark them so other walkers can find the good stuff too.
Why mark one
You help the next person skip the boring car park circuit. You also remember your own favourites when you move house or visit friends.
What makes a good spot
Safe access, legal to be there, and something for the nose or the paws. A sniffari often discovers candidates without trying.
Etiquette
Do not mark private gardens. Do not send people into livestock fields. Public joy only.
Beside the game
Sniff spots sit next to territory play. You can close loops and still drop a pin when a place earns it.
