Sniffspot's private dog parks are the best way to exercise your dog. We have the best variety and the best priced dog parks anywhere!
Welcome to Olive and Louie's Pooptopia, where it will always be poop free upon your arrival. Let your dog enjoy a large, 6 foot tall, fenced in yard with plenty of space to run, play fetch and sniff the scents of our own 2 dogs and the bunnies that venture into it. The entrance to the backyard is accessible through a gate off the side of the house with plenty of street parking. Water is accessible through a hose in the back yard as well as a little frog pool for your pup to have fun in.
2+ acres of fully fenced (5 ft) small wooded paths (larger unfenced hiking space available in extras) and a large grass area to run. The fence is partially chain link and partially wire pulled between wood posts. The terrain is a mix of grass and wooded areas with small walking paths through the woods. Included in your time at our spot: - Standard Treats For Your Dog - Disposable Water Bowl - Hand Sanitizer - Human Water - Poop Bags - Towel for drying – A Basket of Toys (Cleaned Daily with pet-safe disinfectant) - Hose located near the back door for you to hose boots or dogs before heading home. (Full dog washing station coming early Summer 2024!) - The kiddie pool will be out on hot days for your dog to cool off in! Swing set available for kids to use, at your own risk and under your supervision, while their pet runs around, however; the trampoline is strictly off-limits. Check out our extras that you may add, including premium dog treats from Mountain Dog Cookie Co, a kiddie pool for your dog in the summer months, additional unfenced space for your dog to explore their primal instincts (perfect for sporting dogs!), and even some human treats! Canine Respiratory Illness, what are we doing about it? We've taken a few extra precautions to keep our dogs & visitors safe. In our welcome basket, you'll find disposable bowls that you may use the hose next to the back door to fill up for your pup! Please dispose of your bowl in the garbage can next to the welcome basket. Additionally, toys in the basket will also be wiped down at least once per day with a pet-safe disinfectant. **The host is not responsible for any harm caused to you, your children, or your pets while using the swing set.**
Great property to walk with large and small dogs. The entire back lot is fully fenced and plenty of running space for frisbee or ball. Disposable water bowls can be found in our welcome bin. A hose will be available in summer and a water jug in winter. A small patch of uncut brush in the back is great for jumping sniffing and tracking the high branches are cleared for humans to also walk through:) located near wetlands some of the fencing extends through overgrowth or wetland and brush/scrub tree areas it can be damp in wet weather times. The ENTIRE BACK lot is fully secure, originally built to contain our dachshunds and our late Great Dane. Because we own several small dogs (and also a large dog) ourselves it is checked regularly for any holes, or wear. (If you see any holes please let us know ASAP) Our dogs will be kenneled when you visit! Extra notes: *We live near a gun range and during hunting seasons and summer primarily range noise can be heard in the distance. Weekdays are quieter in general for all noises :) * Please note in spring/ fall thaw and heavy rain parts of our yard so stay soggy and even wet for some time -appropriate footwear should be considered (rubber boots are ideal)-we have towels for dogs in our welcome bin. Canine Respiratory Illness! Here’s what we are doing! -disposable one-visit bowls are to be found in our bin, please use them for your dogs and then dispose of them before you go or take them home. -we will continue to disinfect the toys provided at least once a day with our dog-safe disinfectant Effer-San. -We ask that you place used toys in the used toy bin after use. - in the summer the patio and grass near the house will be sprayed with our dog-safe disinfectant Wishy-Wash once a day. -We do this for our dogs as well as for yours

Welcome to our backyard! We have a soft spot for reactive dogs and those that don't enjoy the mosh pit of public dog parks or strange people. (Heck, sometimes even taking a walk in the neighborhood is hard!) We also know how valuable new experiences are for dogs and how being off leash to run, sniff, and play is good for dogs' physical and mental well being - and ours, too! Our privacy fencing and large yard allows you and your dog to have safe place away from unfamiliar people / other dogs. It's great for getting your dog some different sniffs and letting them off leash for a game of fetch!
Your dog(s) will enjoy running around our fenced yard. Large yard, plenty of room for sniffing and exploring. You and your pup(s) will have the entire yard to yourself. Dog toys, water dish, poop bags and hand sanitizer. Water feature included during the warmer months. We look forward to your visit. Any questions, please send me a message! Emily

Large, fenced in private area to play. We have tennis balls & frisbees available to use. We have the patio furniture and hose out for use in the summer. We have a private parking space that is fenced in. If you’d like to use it to avoid taking your dog out of the car on a busy street, please send us a message!
A very securely fenced and lovely private area to train your dog or just let him or her run and be silly and play. There are often chickens and horses just on the other side of an adjacent fence which many dogs find interesting, but is not included in the accessible play area. A large portion of all funds raised is donated to a Senior Dog Sanctuary. Adults only with dogs unless other arrangements have been made with the property owner.
Welcome to Maize’s Oasis! Does your dog prefer to play solo? Maybe the dog park has become a stressor for both you and your dog- I know it did for us! We bought our house largely because of its spacious backyard, and built the fence for our reactive and very playful/active fur baby. It has been worth every $ and labor hour spent to see him enjoy it. We’re excited to share it with other pet owners whose dogs need their own safe space to roam and run! Any money we’ve made from reservations goes to local shelters including Elmbrook Humane, Wisconsin Humane, MADACC, and Fluffy Dog Rescue. THANK YOU for booking with us as it has allowed us to donate over A THOUSAND dollars to these organizations to date! **Are you a foster dog paw-rent? We have a discount code for you! Message us when booking to let us know**
Our spacious backyard is ideal for dogs that need to run run run! We have a 5 foot fence and will add more amenities if we get enough guests. We have 2 Bernese mountain dogs that play well with others if you want them to join you! They will be inside the house and may be seen and heard by your dog(s). There are also chickens next door but the fence keeps them on their side. They will be seen and heard.
Fully fenced .12 acre lot in the city! Near the lake.
My Sniffspot is just south of I-94 and across from Lower Nemahbin Lake access. You will see a foster care sign at the end of the driveway. The address is 1635 North Sawyer Road. It is well-marked. We do have beehives (located near the barn), fenced ducks & chickens (not visible from the field), and barn cats that wander the area. One rooster free ranges but he and none of the other animals will approach you or your dogs. You may also see deer or wild turkeys. Because we want all of these animals, including your dogs to be safe, please keep dogs on leash when outside the field and be in control of them at all times. The private dog park has 3 agility jumps, 1 short tunnel, and miniature weave poles. Feel free to adjust any of the jumps to fit your dog(s)' jump height. You can also create your own agility course! The park provides a cot, three chairs, some toys, and 2 throwing sticks. The Toys are located on top of a purple bin and there are more toys inside of the bin you can take out! A hose/sprinkler is provided in the summer! More agility equipment will be added in the spring/summer. There is plenty of space to let your furry friend run free! Please note: I am a high school student and my parents are letting me maintain the Sniffspot to earn money. Therefore, I may not be able to respond to messages right away if I am in class, but I will try my best!
Notice: We are closing the spot on May 23rd for maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience. Grass and rain: Please keep in mind that during moderate to heavy rains the area without mulch can get muddy. Beginning May of 2024, we will post pictures daily to our Instagram account showing the condition of the spot. As you can imagine, due to the wear and tear the spot gets, it’s difficult to keep the grass alive. However, we do our best to reseed during the spring. BarkPark sits right across the street from The Salvation Army Freedom Center. This spot is fully fenced (chain link and wood) with the side facing the sidewalk being 5ft and the rest of the fence being 6ft. There is a dual-gate entrance to the spot for a safe entry and exit. Street parking is available. There is plenty of seating at this spot with shade throughout the day. There's a rain barrel filled with water for dogs to hydrate and cool down. We have water bowls available. GIANT sandbox that's great for digging and playing; no digging elsewhere please. On hot days, we do our best to keep the sand wet. Trash can onsite. We have poop bags available in two different areas for easy access. Half of this spot is covered with grass and the other half with playground mulch. This spot is big enough to get a good fetch session in or to just let the zoomies out. We also recently added agility equipment. We hope you and your four-legged friend/s have an exceptional time during your visit and choose to come back. Lost toys and items: Due to the amount of visits we get we aren’t able to track which items belong to which guest. If you’ve lost a dog toy or other item, please reach out and we’ll do our best to retrieve it and hold it for you. If you don’t reach out, we’ll hold onto it for a week and then add it to the Lost and Found Toy Box. Water: The dog drinking water gets changed 1-2 times per week, depending on the temperature/usage. During the winter months we empty the water barrel. If your dog/s require water during the winter months, we ask that you please bring your own. Food: You’re welcomed to bring food but we ask that you please clean up as a courtesy to other guests. Future additions: We hope to add more amenities over time. Our plans are to add more sand to the sandbox in late April or early May of 2024. We’re also hoping to have on-site parking around mid summer of 2024. If you have any suggestions for amenities, we’d love to hear your feedback.
Perfect spot to exercise your dogs and relax. This fully fenced, 1/4 acre+ lot allows space for up to 4 furry friends to roam! A table amd swing are also available for humans to relax while their pups play.
We are a dog loving home located on a large lot right off the Illinois Prairie Path in Lombard! Perfect spot for owners who already walk their companions on the path to stop and have some playtime or extra training time. (We just ask you make reservations before planning your visit) Join our Facebook Group ‘Kefy Dog Park’ to find Yard Updates & how other friends are enjoying our spot! https://www.facebook.com/share/ix7uGd3kp5R6DqxA/?mibextid=K35XfP We have a Newfoundland and Yorkie who will be inside during visits unless otherwise communicated & chickens who will be in their coop/chicken run. Our favorite times of year to see our Newfie play outside are winter (he loves to catch snowballs, chase our kids and then lay in the cold snow)…and the summer when he lays in the cool grass and plops himself down in the kiddie pool. We hope your doggies will love to enjoy our yard just as much!
Your dog can enjoy lots of interesting smells in our outdoor training yard where we hold our weekly obedience classes. Enjoy shade trees, grass, bushes, and a poop can for your convenience. This is a great spot for starting to expose your dog to the sight of other dogs and people without having to interact with them.
Plenty of room for your dog(s) 🐕 or tortoises 🐢 to run around or just bask in the sun! ☀️ Let yourself in. Help yourself to any seat or the hammock! Feel free to let your dogs play with the dog toys, as well. There's a hose and water dish. There's also a pooper scooper "system" - see pics - scoop with tray, dump in "poop" bucket, cover with a little bit of pine shavings, and close the buckets! Someone is almost always home if you have any questions or issues! Thanks for sniffing! 🐾
Fully fenced yard. Guests should park in the driveway as the street is permit only. If there are any issues message me when you arrive!
