55We could not have had a better experience here. It was our first time using sniffspot, we have a very reactive dog living in the city who can’t go to dog parks and he loved it here. They provided burgers, hot dogs, use of the grill, dog treats, toys, a kiddie pool, all of the works for our dog and us. We felt totally safe and comfortable and our dog was so happy, never had to worry about people or dogs bothering him. Owners were responsive and so helpful with anything we could have needed, we really appreciated how attentive they are! They even added some tarp over the fence to block our dogs vision into the next yard, to avoid any interactions that could have upset him. The yard was in great shape and super spacious. We couldn’t recommend this enough and will definitely be back!!Elizabeth L.

55Easy to find, plenty of street parking. The fence was high enough to contain our jumper and he really loved all the space to run around. Hosts left everything we needed in plain sight and we appreciated the table to set down our things. Would visit again!Eliese X.

55First time renting a sniff spot! I was very happy with the baby pool offered, especially because it was so hot it was nice for my dog to be able to cool down in between bursts of energy. The yard was big enough for my girl to run around, get her zoomies out, and do some formal agility training. It’s a little far from my apartment but we will be back because the price was great!Quinn G.

55Great spot! Communicative host and lots of toys and activities for the dogs. We’ll be back on a slightly less scorching hot day to take advantage of it all! There is a pool to keep doggies cool on hot days mine are just not into water. :) Cara L.

55We had a great time in Cholula’s Backyard! My foster is getting used to the city sounds and smells and we needed a private place for some fun and some work together. It’s a really nice sized space with agility equipment, a bucket of toys and even waters for the humans. Thank you so, so much. Exactly what we needed. Megan S.

FAQ about our Buffalo Grove 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.
