55Overall: Easy to spot the place as there was a sign that said "Sniffspot". This spot is a good sized yard for two medium sized dogs (~45lbs) with grass and plenty of toys for dogs and seating for humans. I would recommend this spot to my friends.
Ground condition: I came after the morning shower so the ground was soft but it was not muddy. Pretty grassy despite it being winter. I guess having warm winter helps.
While inspecting the yard upon arrival, I saw one pile of poop which I picked up. Unfortunately I stepped on a soft pile of poop and had to spend some time to remove poop off my shoe as much as I could.
Host: Host was really nice and allowed us to stay 30 more minutes without charge.
Timely responses to msgs through Sniffspot app which was very much appreciated.
Parking: There were enough street parking for us. It was pretty packed street bur still was not hard to find a spot in between residents' parked cars.
Amenities: I saw dog treats, ton of toys, trashca for poop bags, enough patio chairs for humans to sit. Patio chairs and table were clean. My dogs don't like other dogs' toys so I brought my own as I always do. But if you have dogs that love toys they will have a blast. I also brought my own water and treats so I am not sure if there was water or not.
Fence: it was completely fenced in. I do a walk around whenever I arrive at a Sniffspot. I didn't see any areas of concern in the fence. Fence was pretty high and not see through. Yard was completely private. There was some areas under the fence where it may have been dug some time in the past but the host did a good job blocking this area off. I felt that my dogs were secured in the yard. This js an important part for me as one of my dogs is an escape artist.
Gate: Gate had a working lock which was easy to use. I've seen other spots where the lock was outdated and/or hard to operate and/or did not work properly. This one was working fine without any issues.
Other dogs: host had two dogs. I could hear them but not all the time. I could hear other neighbors' dogs from distant. This was not an issue for us.

55Such a great spot! Quiet neighborhood and street. There was water and treats left out for us, and the yard had a lot of toys for us to play with. The fence is tall and secure all the way around.
The neighbor next door does have a dog, and we got barked at from inside the house a bit (which is understandable! But if your pup is reactive it's something to note).Renata M.

55Caren accommodated our last minute reservation and my three pooches (small, medium and large) really enjoyed the toy filled yard and space to run free! No worries about dog escapes. Caren’s yard is very private and has plenty of chairs. She had running water but I always bring a bowl and some water. Easy to find and plenty of parking and communication was a pleasure with Caren.Michele G.

55The space is great and Jaycee had plenty of room to run around and explore. Tons of toys and bones. The house is very easy to find and no issues entering or exiting.
I have had my rescue for 3 months and still learning new things about her. There are entry points under the raised porch, which she definitely explored. The screened in porch had a kiddie gate to keep her out but Jaycee easily knocked it over, so I put some chairs in front of the entrance and she still managed to get in. I coaxed her out with treats, but for dogs that like to get into mischief definitely keep an eye on them in this space.
This was our first SniffSpot and she was tuckered out when we got home. Would recommend as it is a great space, near downtown SS and on a quiet street. Allison I.

FAQ about our Berwyn 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.
