The place was a perfect safe place to take our dogs to let them run and play without having to worry about them! Definitely will come back.
55This was my first sniffspot ever, and I was quite impressed. The hosts provided us with water, toys, treats, and they also took care of the poop I picked up from my dog. They came out to greet us (they seem to be very kind and friendly people) and then let us be. My dog enjoyed the spacious area full of lots of smells and ran around. There was also plenty of shade to rest in. As a last good note, the fence was quite high so my dog could not escape. The only issue I had was that when we first arrived, their dog had escaped into the sniffingspot before we got into the enclosed area. Even so, the hosts took care of the issue promptly and there were no more problems. As I was their first ever guest, I’m certain this won’t be a recurring problem for future ones. I will definitely be frequenting this spot again.Cecelia K.

55Just wanted to mention that in my last review, I had false information in it. Apparently I arrived fairly early without realizing it until much later, so that was why the host’s dog was in the yard. In the end I really have nothing to complain about!Cecelia K.

55This is a very nice fenced in area for dogs to run. The woman who i assume owns or runs this names Laurie is very nice and responds quickly to any questions or messages. There was only one issue I had and was not her fault at all but she immediately added it to their description and that is the shooting range that is close by. My dog has bad anxiety and any loud noises are extremely bothersome for him so we had to leave soon after we arrived. I would definitely return to their play yard if it wasnt for that and am actually considering trying it at a different time of day to see if there is no gunshots going off. Laurie also gave me information of another location they have for us to try. She was also willing to refund my money since we couldnt stay but I didnt want it because it wasnt her fault. I say all of this so others know that she truly went above and beyond to help and her play yard is a good space for your dog to run.Alicia M.

FAQ about our Carlisle 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Carlisle 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 88 fully fenced dog parks in the area.

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.
