55This was our first visit and it was a great spot! The neighborhood was very quiet. Pictures don’t do the yard justice, it is huge! My dog loved to run and chase a ball until she was exhausted. There were plenty of areas to sniff around and trees to keep away the hot sun or rain. Everything was very clean and welcoming. My dog was a happy girl by the end of our visit! Monica F.

55This was our first visit and I'm sure we will be back again. The spot was clean and obviously well maintained. They had individual trat bags for our dogs and tons of amenities. Our dogs are rescues who have some fear around unknown dogs, so dog parks are out of the question. This alternative is perfect! It was so nice not to have to worry and to just be able to relax.Kelly S.

55My dog and his best buddy went today as a second birthday present for both turning two. What a fantastic spot. Our boys enjoyed running on the large property and sniffing to their heart’s content. The sunflowers were an added bonus along with fall photo props, doggy pool and even goody bags. We will definitely be going back again.

55Wonderful host! Every detail was taken care of so we could just enjoy ourselves! Kid friendly and she catered to my pup’s food sensitivities and even his likes/dislikes! I’ve never had trouble getting him to leave a venue before. But this time, he actually didn’t want to go and made us chase him to get the leash on! That sealed the deal that this is our #1 sniff spot location!Amanda B.

FAQ about our Walnut Cove 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Walnut Cove area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 89 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
