Dog and Pony Acres

Fully Fenced
5 acres

We have decided to take all proceeds from Sniffspot and donate fhem to the Lorain Counry Pet Pantry, so thanks for coming and helping!!! So far YTD totals: 160lbs dog food 125lbs cat food 168lbs of cat food 5 acres of reclaimed soybean field, that we fenced in for an additional pasture for our horses. When we fenced, we decided to use no-climb fence so we could have foster dogs explore off-leash. There are 5 gates in the fence, of which only the gate closest to the creek is not padlocked. Depending on the time of year, the prairie grasses and flowers are between ankle-high to knee-high. We do have a bench in the back of the pasture (which is normally in the shade of the trees), and the horse run-in is pretty useful as a rain shelter if needed. Feel free to let your doggo dig til their heart's content, and theres plenty of branches to chew on. ****We cannot stress enough the importance of leashinc your dog *before* they get out of the car, and you have positive control of the leash all the way until you get in the fence. If your dog doesn't get a painful zap from the horse fence, the horses will protect themselves and it won't end well**** There is a creek to cross between the parking area (our driveway) and the pasture, which is normally ankle-high, so we recommend either water shoes or muck boots to cross. Its roughly a 200-250ft walk from the driveway to the back pasture, and you're bound to see our lazy freeloading horses (fenced) and hear our dogs barking (also fenced). Needless to say, leashing your dog(s) from the car until the gate is closed, is required.

Field & Trees 10 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Homerville

Unfenced
10 acres

We are Dan & Laura. We own 3+ acres of a cleared, mowed grass field area PLUS 7 acres of wooded ‘truck width’ trails. The trails are maintained with our mower, so no or minimal brush on them, making them easy to navigate. They are also color coded marked for ease of sense of direction. These woods are ‘working’ woods, as we harvest fallen trees to use for heat, so it is NOT Metro Park pristine! The trails are dirt, of course, and will be muddy- according to the weather conditions… However…. There always seems to be trails that maintain their drained dryness more than others. Our trails cover the entire perimeter of the property! They weave in and out among themselves! Quite a fun adventure! Pictured are wildlife- however- there is absolutely no guarantee you will see any. We have NO domestic deer like most suburbs do, so there may be NO sightings- just hoof prints. If you book in advance (rather than same day booking) you will have guaranteed access to warm hose water during the cooler/ cold months. You are permitted to vape, smoke and bring a cooler. If bringing kids please let me know. I will try to plant a feather or something for them to ‘find’ - Parking is on site, the side slots off the drive, as shown in the pictures. Dog bags, scooper, gloves ~ located in storage container~ on porch decking. Use, if needed. *****Please pick up a FLYER from the black fence in the brochure box located on the pool fence, facing the house.*****

We have decided to take all proceeds from Sniffspot and donate fhem to the Lorain Counry Pet Pantry, so thanks for coming and helping!!! So far YTD totals: 160lbs dog food 125lbs cat food 168lbs of cat food 5 acres of reclaimed soybean field, that we fenced in for an additional pasture for our horses. When we fenced, we decided to use no-climb fence so we could have foster dogs explore off-leash. There are 5 gates in the fence, of which only the gate closest to the creek is not padlocked. Depending on the time of year, the prairie grasses and flowers are between ankle-high to knee-high. We do have a bench in the back of the pasture (which is normally in the shade of the trees), and the horse run-in is pretty useful as a rain shelter if needed. Feel free to let your doggo dig til their heart's content, and theres plenty of branches to chew on. ****We cannot stress enough the importance of leashinc your dog *before* they get out of the car, and you have positive control of the leash all the way until you get in the fence. If your dog doesn't get a painful zap from the horse fence, the horses will protect themselves and it won't end well**** There is a creek to cross between the parking area (our driveway) and the pasture, which is normally ankle-high, so we recommend either water shoes or muck boots to cross. Its roughly a 200-250ft walk from the driveway to the back pasture, and you're bound to see our lazy freeloading horses (fenced) and hear our dogs barking (also fenced). Needless to say, leashing your dog(s) from the car until the gate is closed, is required.

Dog and Pony Acres

Fully Fenced
5 acres

We have decided to take all proceeds from Sniffspot and donate fhem to the Lorain Counry Pet Pantry, so thanks for coming and helping!!! So far YTD totals: 160lbs dog food 125lbs cat food 168lbs of cat food 5 acres of reclaimed soybean field, that we fenced in for an additional pasture for our horses. When we fenced, we decided to use no-climb fence so we could have foster dogs explore off-leash. There are 5 gates in the fence, of which only the gate closest to the creek is not padlocked. Depending on the time of year, the prairie grasses and flowers are between ankle-high to knee-high. We do have a bench in the back of the pasture (which is normally in the shade of the trees), and the horse run-in is pretty useful as a rain shelter if needed. Feel free to let your doggo dig til their heart's content, and theres plenty of branches to chew on. ****We cannot stress enough the importance of leashinc your dog *before* they get out of the car, and you have positive control of the leash all the way until you get in the fence. If your dog doesn't get a painful zap from the horse fence, the horses will protect themselves and it won't end well**** There is a creek to cross between the parking area (our driveway) and the pasture, which is normally ankle-high, so we recommend either water shoes or muck boots to cross. Its roughly a 200-250ft walk from the driveway to the back pasture, and you're bound to see our lazy freeloading horses (fenced) and hear our dogs barking (also fenced). Needless to say, leashing your dog(s) from the car until the gate is closed, is required.

Field & Trees 10 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Homerville

Unfenced
10 acres

We are Dan & Laura. We own 3+ acres of a cleared, mowed grass field area PLUS 7 acres of wooded ‘truck width’ trails. The trails are maintained with our mower, so no or minimal brush on them, making them easy to navigate. They are also color coded marked for ease of sense of direction. These woods are ‘working’ woods, as we harvest fallen trees to use for heat, so it is NOT Metro Park pristine! The trails are dirt, of course, and will be muddy- according to the weather conditions… However…. There always seems to be trails that maintain their drained dryness more than others. Our trails cover the entire perimeter of the property! They weave in and out among themselves! Quite a fun adventure! Pictured are wildlife- however- there is absolutely no guarantee you will see any. We have NO domestic deer like most suburbs do, so there may be NO sightings- just hoof prints. If you book in advance (rather than same day booking) you will have guaranteed access to warm hose water during the cooler/ cold months. You are permitted to vape, smoke and bring a cooler. If bringing kids please let me know. I will try to plant a feather or something for them to ‘find’ - Parking is on site, the side slots off the drive, as shown in the pictures. Dog bags, scooper, gloves ~ located in storage container~ on porch decking. Use, if needed. *****Please pick up a FLYER from the black fence in the brochure box located on the pool fence, facing the house.*****

55While driving cross-country, I picked this SniffSpot because it was on the way. And I am so glad I did! Cindy was unbelievably kind, and even let her sweet pup play with mine. Her yard is beautiful, and full to the brim with doggie toys. She provided Lysol and cleaning products just in case, and when my pup rolled in the mud she even brought out doggie shampoo so I could give him a quick bath. We can’t wait to visit again on our way back. Cindy, you and your husband are just so sweet and you made my day - thank you so much!!!

Frequently asked questions about Amherst dog parks

Are there dog parks in Amherst for reactive dogs?

Yes! Amherst has 575 private dog parks specifically designed for reactive, anxious, or dog-selective pets. Unlike public dog parks where unexpected encounters can trigger your reactive dog, Sniffspot offers completely private bookings. That means only you and your dogs will be there. We enforce 30-minute buffers between visits so you won't run into other park users when arriving or leaving. This makes Amherst Sniffspots perfect for reactive dogs who need safe off-leash exercise.

How many private dog parks are in Amherst?

Amherst has 575 private Sniffspot locations ranging from cozy backyard spaces to expansive properties spanning 50+ acres. You'll find fully fenced dog parks, small dog parks, and dog fields options, each offering complete privacy during your reserved time. Browse listings to compare sizes, amenities, fencing, and reviews from other Amherst dog owners.

Are Amherst dog parks friendly for all dog types?

Absolutely! Amherst Sniffspot locations work for every type of dog: puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel safer away from large breeds, high-energy dogs requiring space to run, and yes, reactive or anxious dogs needing privacy. Because bookings are completely private, you can customize the experience to your dog's specific needs—whether that's careful puppy introductions or stress-free exercise for nervous dogs.

Will there be other dogs at Amherst dog parks?

No, that's what makes Sniffspot different from public dog parks! We only allow one booking at a time, and host dogs must be kept away during your visit. When you book a Amherst dog park, you have the entire space to yourself (plus any dog-owning friends you invite). This privacy is crucial for reactive dogs, puppies in training, or any dog who needs space from other animals.

What makes Amherst dog parks safe for anxious dogs?

Amherst Sniffspot locations provide controlled, predictable environments without the chaos of public dog parks. There are no aggressive dogs, no inattentive owners, and no unexpected encounters that could traumatize anxious or fearful dogs. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars, with many highlighting how safe their reactive or anxious dogs felt.

Can puppies use Amherst dog parks?

Absolutely! Amherst dog parks are ideal for puppy socialization because they provide controlled, distraction-free environments. Puppies can practice recall, build confidence, and explore without the overwhelming chaos of public dog parks. Just ensure your puppy has age-appropriate vaccinations before visiting any Amherst Sniffspot.

Are Amherst dog parks good for small dogs?

Yes! Many Amherst Sniffspot hosts mark their spaces as "small dog friendly," meaning they're appropriately sized for toy breeds and small dogs. Unlike public dog parks where small dogs risk being overwhelmed or injured by larger breeds, Amherst private bookings give your small dog the entire space to themselves. Look for secure fencing with minimal gaps and hosts who understand petite pup needs.

What are the requirements for Amherst dog parks?

All dogs must have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. Each Amherst host may have additional requirements listed on their booking page. Most welcome all breeds, sizes, and temperament levels, including reactive dogs who can't safely visit traditional public dog parks.
