55We had a lot of fun! Our dog loved playing fetch and exploring the bushes and trees. The yard was clean and comfortable. We brought our own toys, and there was also a ball launcher there to use. The fence was secure and the space felt private. Plenty of shade and sun!Meaghan H.

55We booked a last minute visit and the host was very quick to respond and make us feel welcome. Good size yard for tossing the ball around, and to get some running in. The fencing seemed secure for the most part, a smaller dog might find their way under one of the sections but there’s another fence backing it and some reinforcements on the corners. Felt secure enough for our needs. Thanks so much!! Love having a spot so close will be back! Jennifer S.

55Owner greeted us warmly and seemed genuinely happy to host us. Space was perfect-shade/sun, grassy/flat, interesting areas along edge for good sniffing, water/pool for pooch, poop bags although I brought our own, poop bin outside play area which I liked. Dogs loved it and so did I. Our first Sniffspot experience and definitely not our last. Beautiful way to start morning (9:30a-10:30).Tamara R.

55Jessie is a long time friend and one of the most thoughtful and responsible dog owners I know... And her dog park did not disappoint! It was carefully maintained and even came with a small doggie pool! Maya had a wonderful time running and rolling in the grass at JJ's dog park. We will definitely be back!Lf K.

55The kiddie pool was a big hit on such a hot day. My two dogs and I really enjoyed the very large, clean, and flat running space. Secure fence. Owner left pool and water dish filled for us. My little guy had fun chasing birds and my little girl spent most of her time jumping in and out of the pool. It was 94 degrees when we went and there was enough shade for me to handle the heat! Thoroughly recommend!Nancy B.

55 I highly recommend checking out! Her location is completely fenced in with both an open grass/play section and also an agility field section with all the equipment. It is private so your dog will not encounter other dogs. She keeps it well maintained. She also went out of her way to help me with Scooby and his seesaw fear. She worked with us, gave us tips and advice, adjusted the equipment, and let Scooby have some high value treats! The location is really easy to get to and has tie outs if you have two dogs and want to work one at a time. Also just a fun spot to let your dog(s) run around if you need a safe space to let it run or do training!Lisa W.

FAQ about our Amherst 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.
