55We enjoyed our visit to this new Sniffspot but probably picked a bad day since it had been raining the day before and thus muddy in a few spots. The owners were very welcoming and discussed that they were working to improve where owners could sit. Overall I think for a new spot this was great and could be quite popular since there are not many in this area. Alyson S.

55Wonderful to have a sniffspot in Columbia. The fence seems new and is well built, which provided the safety I felt we needed. Well maintained yard, with enough room for a Great Dane to roam happily. Quiet neighborhood that didn’t bother my sensitive dog. Would certainly return. Bridget E.

55JJs Play Yard was lots of fun for Zoey. The area was well fenced and secure with lots of room to run around. There were treats and water for both Zoey and her hooman. For the first time ever, I was able to get Zoey interested in the agility course! We will definitely be back! Thanks for a great time!Jill B.

55Zoey and I visited this Sniffspot today. She got lots of exercise and sniff time. Thanks for the treats and a fun time!
There was some dried poop in the yard that I discovered while walking around. It definitely came from a small dog. I cleaned it up.Jill B.

55Easy access. Nice fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. Nice touch with dog treats in an individual bag. The pole with the there’s ball was a huge hit. May I ask where you got it. I would love to get one as a giftJoAnn F.

FAQ about our Columbia 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Columbia area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 490 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 59 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. 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.
