55Awesome backyard! It’s fully fenced and she had a water bowl out for our pup. The owner also lent us a ~30 ft leash so we could walk our pup in the field. Highly recommend. Michelle M.

55The property has a secure fence and plenty of shade. Most of the yard is grass but along the fence rows there is vegetation that made for some interesting sniffing. Our pups were fascinated by the chickens and had a great time running and exploring. Jessica F.

55This is my new favorite spot!!! My dogs absolutely LOVED exploring this big, gorgeous backyard. They barely even wanted to play with the toys I brought because they were having so much fun taking in all of the new sniffs! I personally enjoyed the many beautiful trees (and shade); it helped keep us cool on the humid day. The homeowner was so helpful and responsive and accessing the yard was super easy. 11/10 recommend and we will definitely be back soon!!Jen M.

55Emily is attentive, quick to respond and happy to hear how to make your visit a great one. Her yard is rustic enough so my Apollo didn’t have to gently tiptoe thru her tulips, but still beautiful for humans to enjoy. Note! She clearly describes her other animals present in the space, and for curious canines it can make for an animated visit! It didn’t stop us from enjoying this wonderful backyard. We will be back, and soon! Chrissy B.

55We had a blast at Bear’s Den! Super clean, lots of space, great toys, all the amenities of a dog park without the usually dog park drama. Dogs were pooped out! Highly recommend. Jen K.

55We had a great time visiting Bear’s Den! The yard is a great size with plenty of room for zoomies and playing. There was plenty of shade in the late afternoon for both people and pups. The hosts left out toys, poop bags, a big water bowl, and a sprinkler for the pups, and they even provided a speaker and a cooler with some drinks for the people. The fence was very secure and we felt completely safe and welcome during our visit. You do hear neighbors and other dogs around the neighborhood, but you cannot see them while in the space. Overall would definitely recommend!Jamie S.

55It was such a nice and quiet area for our pups! Not only did they provide tons of dog toys, but there were treats, a sprinkler, poop bags, water for the dogs, and even nice seating for us! They even brought out a towel for our dogs since we were using the sprinkler! This was my first experience with sniff spot, and our apartment pups LOVED it!!! Trinity C.

55Bear’s Den is enjoyable both for the doggos as well as the humans! Our host had a sprinkler system set up, a doggie pool, towels, toys and snacks out for the dogs. The people got water, a speaker, and a shaded seating area. The space is clean and well-maintained — ready for a day of fun. The area was spacious, and we and our dogs felt safe at Bear’s Den. This was a great first experience with Sniffspot and we’d love to come back to this place again! Elena E.

55My dog had a great time and it was nice not to worry about dog park and having to keep an eye out for potential hazards. Going again tomorrow! Thanks. Thoughtful host. My guy played the entire 90 minutes. JoAnn D.

55This is the best sniff spot we’ve been to yet! A beautiful, peaceful lot by the river that has plenty of space and amenities! We will be back 😊
If you have a reactive dog: I did see two dogs across the way behind a fence and a few neighbors as well as a duck who flew into the yard. It worked well for me as I was training my pup but thought it might be helpful to share for others! Courtney R.

FAQ about our Arlington Heights 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Arlington Heights area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 374 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 46 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
