55This spot was great and the host came out to greet our party. There was plenty of space for the pups to roam and play and the “unfenced” area is so far from the spot that unless your pup is a flight risk you should have no problems! Would definitely recommend this spot!Elena R.

55We loved our sniff here! The dirt mounds were fun to play on. We heard/saw one dog near a small part of the fence line. The chickens were put away. Great spot! Maya N.

55Great location for my pack to explore and run. Easy access, accessible water, and not the abundance of stickers that typically exist in open space. Will definitely visit again soon.Melody G.

55Lots of room for them to sniff and run. The grass was getting tall, I would recommend wearing pants, the neighbor has a somewhat aggressive dog but there were plenty of places to sniff. Overall it was a great place!!! Julio P.

55Owner was super responsive and accommodating. Good location, clean and well described in listing. One thing I’d possibly warn against is in the summer.. the property seems like a place where snakes would hide. There was tall grass that my dog liked to hop through and we had lots of fun. He smelled like flowers in the car on the way home. Jen L.

55We had a fantastic time! My dog loved running around in the great space they have. A couple things to note for sensitive dogs- the neighbors do have dogs and you can see/hear them. My dog is a little reactive and was barking/running along the fence line while the neighbors dog did the same. The neighbor came out and was SUPER friendly and I think our pups just wanted to play together but if you have a reactive dog that’s definitely something to look out for. Second, there is manure on the ground and my dog was very interested in eating it lol. If your dog has a sensitive tummy just be aware of that! The farm animals were so friendly and cute! I had a chance to meet and chat with the owner and she was so lovely and kind. I recommend this sniffspot big time :) Sofia J.

55I have a boarder reactive pup and he just had the best time here! I will say the lot isn’t that big if there were to be a dog running along the fence; it would just be hard to distract your dog. However, this place was so nice and the owner was very kind! I would come back here again!! My dog also loved the soft ground! Katherine L.

55Great spot with a great host! Something to keep in mind for escape artists and dogs who may be a little too interested in farm animals: our husky (~40 lbs) stayed on her longline the entire time. She was able to fit under the fences to get back to the entrance by the farm animals, so the longline was necessary for her. She had an excellent time taking in all the smells and had just as much fun on her longline. Brenna H.

55This was a beautiful spot, but unfortunately not adequate for my dog and I. There are large gaps underneath the entrance fencing, as well as a couple other areas where a dog could escape. My dog isn't perfectly obedient in regards to recall, and got under the fence numerous times. The last time he ran towards the road by the parking entryway.
This is a great spot, but be wary if you're dog isn't bomb proof with recall, it's potentially dangerous. Unfortunately I won't be coming back unless the fencing is made to be more secure. I use these sniff spots to let my dog run and release a lot of energy and since he'd need to be on a leash to be secure in this one, it defeats the purpose. Hannah A.

55Awesome spot. Grass was soft and room to run and sniff. Host left out fresh water, and some random supplies like wipes and bug spray. Lots of places to sit in the shade. Joshua R.

55This was our first experience with SniffSpot, and it was amazing! The host messaged me ahead of time explaining everything, and was very kind, and thorough. She made me feel comfortable, and welcome coming to visit her yard. This yard was very clean, and spacious allowing my dog, Tynkerbell, to be able to run around freely. We spent 30 minutes here, and Tynkerbell loved running around by herself, getting energy out, playing with her toys, rolling in the grass, and having space to practice her training skills without other dogs around. I will definitely come back, and I would recommend this yard, and host!Kylie A.

FAQ about our Erie 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 Erie 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 217 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 26 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.
