55This was our first time visiting a Sniffspot and my friend and I and our 2 dogs had the BEST time! Parking directions were very clear and easy. The trails were beautiful and well marked. We LOVED getting to see your horses from afar on part of our adventure! Our dogs were so happy running back and forth and exploring. We’re looking forward to coming back many more times, especially in the snow and sun! Thank you so much for having us! Keri T.

55We've been to this spot before and had a great time (it's a beautiful area and an awesome walk through the woods), but unfortunately we decided to head back home right after arriving this time, since the host's two dogs were out and barking from their Invisible Fence zone near the parking area, and our dog is dog-reactive and very stressed by loose dogs due to a history of being attacked by an off-leash dog. The host clearly noted that her dogs might be out in the listing, so I'm keeping my rating, but just something to keep in mind if anyone has a similar situation! I just hadn't realized how close the Invisible Fence area was to the parking space, though this definitely wouldn't be a problem if your dog isn't that dog-reactive.Emily R.

55Beautiful sniffspot with lots of visibility from the trail to see the dogs. There were clear markers for the trail and we were happy with the length! We ended up going back and forth a few times. Nicole was very responsive and helped when I requested to adjust our time! Tori P.

55So fun! Such a nice place to take your reactive dog. And honestly so peaceful and quiet out on the trails. We circled back to the goat pen and just watched and listened to them for a bit so my pup could take in the sights and smells. They were far from the fence and quiet when we were there but if you think your reactive dog would have a problem with seeing them I would say start the other way on the trail first! Overall super nice and well maintained path!Megan R.

55We just had an amazing time visiting this spot for our first time. We took the long trail and the timing (1 hr visit) was perfect! My 2 dogs were in sniff heaven, it was quiet (which is a godsend for my noise reactive dog), and it was great exercise for all of us. We're already looking forward to our next visit! Tom K.

55Absolutely amazing private trails--a dream come true. The host was quick and clear with communication and the signage is great. We walked in a light rain and got muddy, but not even as muddy as I expected! :) We will be back!Ali S.

55We loved this spot! Hiking trails are marked and relatively clear. Definitely wear good shoes cuz there are a couple of sloped sections. Trails go through the woods, so bug spray may be necessary depending on the time of year. Did the long trail in about 40 minutes so we looped back around and did the short trail to round out an hour. Great spot, we’ll definitely be back!Heidee P.

55Visited this spot with my dog-aggressive senior pitty boy. I’m a dog behavior consultant in the area, so this was to scope out a potential safe spot for my clients and continued personal visits!
Pros:
-description is exact, no surprises!
-trail is marked and easy to follow
-host was kind to put her dogs away in advance for, and during, our visit
-felt like being in a private state park! Beautiful, quiet, and lots of shade
Considerations:
-my dog is a senior, so the occasional large tree across the path was a little tough for him to navigate
-goats may be playing in the brush loose at the beginning of the trail 😂
-trail is meant for hiking for sure! We were well prepared with human hiking boots, but there was a bit of mud for this part of the season!
-again, senior dog and some of the hills/inclines were sloooow and steady for him Jacqueline D.

55We had such a great time here!! My 6 year old dog was acting like a puppy. And not just excited because he's always excited, but actually really interested and focused on things. There was a nice variety of different things to do. He was so happy, it was greatBridget T.

55My dog had a great time here! We were happy to be able to play inside on a very cold day. She had room to run and there was plenty to keep her entertained for the hour. She was totally tuckered out when we left. Katie M.

FAQ about our Whitmore Lake 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Whitmore Lake 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 298 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 34 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.
