55My dog LOVED John’s spot! She didn’t want to leave — she ran back into his yard the
minute we got to the safety gate 😂 She’s usually pretty anxious about new places so this is saying a lot, haha. It’s also really quiet; there were no dogs that we could see or hear in other yards, which helped my dog relax! The trees help immensely with keeping the yard cool despite the heat! Ari N.

55First time using Sniffspot and I couldn’t think of a more perfect sniffspot for my reactive dog! Owner was very descriptive of how to get to her yard and how to find it. Perfect for all zoomies and spots to dig and fetch! Very spacious! Bug repellent was available which we needed to apply 5mins into our visit which was amazing for us! Will return again!

FAQ about our Bertram 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 Bertram 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 132 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
