55We had such a wonderful time. This is the best spot we’ve been to yet. This is the perfect spot. It was out in the country and away from busy/noisy roads. It was so quiet and peaceful which was perfect for our anxious pup (and the views were really pretty)! The yard was really nice and clean perfect for chasing balls and running around. Our dogs had an awesome time! We will definitely be back. Kelly N.

55My dog and I had such a good time at this sniffspot! She loved chasing the frisbee and balls provided by the host. It’s a decent sized space so she had plenty of room or run. The fencing was secure and the views from the hill were very pretty! Claire M.

55This lovely spot on a vista of sorts has a tremendous view of the sunset! Just on the other side of the fence are chickens, who were oblivious to our continual romping about! If your dog loves agility activities, playing with frisbees, balls, etc., this small but clean fenced green space is divine. My Blue’s pupils were dilated like he was drugged the whole time we were there, lol. Honestly, he had so, so much fun! The host was communicative and welcoming (via our messages). We most assuredly will be back soon.Julie C.

FAQ about our Durand 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.
