Fabio’s dog park was the perfect venue for our puppy play date! Plenty of space for two very active dogs to run and play. Lots to sniff. Fabio was very responsive.

My girl loved running around at Fabio's Private Dog Park! It’s a wide open lot where she could get her zoomies out and we could throw the ball around. Wonderful for BK dog parents who want to give their dog freedom to roam in a safe space.

Myla and Enzo had a great time running around the yard, playing with toys and having some treats. Caroline was a friendly and communicative host. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommended for any pup that needs to burn some energy in a quiet fenced in space!

Caroline was a responsive and gracious host to my dog and my friend's dog. Her backyard was the perfect place for them to run around and play. We will most definitely be back here for another playdate!

We had the best time at Caroline’s Sniffspot. The yard is fully fenced (super tall fence) with impressive room to roam. Caroline so kindly provided toys and treats so Mogi was happily stimulated the entire time. It was super easy to get in and out of the yard and we didn’t see or hear any dogs while playing. we will be coming back soon!!!!!

Super easy to get in and out of the backyard without having to trek through their apartment (you can avoid getting their apartment dirty). No other pups were around or visible during our stay (in case you have a reactive pup). The backyard is true gem. It’s a great size for my medium sized dog and his friend to wrestle and play fetch. The fence is tall and fully enclosed the yard. It’d be hard to escape. We can not wait to go back.

Caroline's yard was great! There was plenty of space for our dog to sniff and play. She even had a basket out back with treats, toys and bug spray for us to use at our disposal. Would definitely recommend!

This a a great spot for Brooklyn! You have the use of the first floor of the home as well as the backyard. Great seating areas. Enough room for my two large pups to play. Lawrence was very welcoming. Would definitely book it again.

Lawrence has such a great setup. It was a hot day, but the area was shaded and very comfortable (recommend the hammock!). Plenty of space for my girl Fran to get some energy out. For dogs that need to really run, it's probably too small. But tug o war then a nap? Absolutely. Fran is a fan!

This place is wonderful! It’s spacious, quiet, and secure. Our dog has a hard time chilling out in the city and she was so at home here. I haven’t seen her play and run around so much in a long time. Thanks to Angela for hosting us!

Great spot!! Near to home and well-maintained. There was water and kiddie pools and miscellaneous dog toys around. We had a GREAT time sniffing around. 10/10 place to hang if your dog doesn’t like other dogs

Perfect yard and great host! Ian was very flexible in letting us reschedule due to thunderstorms. The yard was perfect for my dog to run around and play. Quiet neighborhood, no dogs in the adjacent yards (great for a pup that is anxious/reactive), and fully fenced in. They provided several extra toys, a rope toy attached to the tree, puppy pool, water bowl, and some bug spray. Would absolutely recommend Ian’s place for everyone!

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.
