55This place is truly magical. Rebecca and I drove up to the farmstead flanked by horse pastures and met Jennifer. She pointed us the way to go. We kept our pups on leash as we walked between the horse pastures and got to a large hedge. Once we passed the hedge we were in a huge field surrounded by inpenetrable blackberry bush hedges. The field has great grass and is very peaceful. Walking through the field there is a grassy pathway to the woods that border the river. Our dogs had an amazing time running and sniffing around the woods and playing the river. I found the river to be very slow and placid, so I felt good about the dogs playing in it. Also, Jennifer said there are nesting bald eagles in some of the trees, but we didn't see any this time around. It is truly an amazing place to visit!David A.

FAQ about our Derby 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. 90% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Derby 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 8 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 2 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.
