55What a fantastic yard for our fur babies to play in! The yard was secure, private, and well kept. Fresh water, a bowl, and a ball was provided which was amazing. Our olde english bulldog loved the ball so much, we now have to track one down. Thanks Kathryn for making your space available for reactive dogs like ours! Madison D.

55Brought my 1-year-old GSD here for the first time this morning - she had a blast! The yard was spacious, clean and the host was nice enough to provide fresh water, poop bags and hand sanitizer. I’m very particular about where I bring my dog and I was very happy. We will definitely be back! Cara G.

55Such a great experience! It’s secluded, we didn’t see a single person (or animal). Such a large space to explore. A great place to work on recall with low distractions. I had to use my gps on my phone to get back to my car since I ventured off path and it’s such a large area.Molly V.

55We were skeptical about going in to a stranger's backyard with our dog but decided to try and I'm so glad we did. Our dog Theo had a blast running and fetching and playing. The yard was huge and well maintained. It was very easy to park and walk in the gate. We will be back for sure!Sam S.

FAQ about our Benson 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Benson 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 165 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 29 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.
