My Gabriel Theodore had a “wooftastic” time!!
What a wonderful area for your best friend to run, sniff, sniff, sniff, and sniff some more!!
The host had water, toys, (which Gabriel didn't use, cuz he brought his “brudders wif him!” Pooh bags, and a Pooh bag can!!! More space then a tri-pawd could check out even in his wheel chair, but Gabriel wants to return!
**Gabriel is reactive to other dogs, the host made certain there were ZERO dogs around!!** Gabe, his brudders, and this mom rate this host a 20 out of 10!!!!!!!!❤️

Awesome huge space for the dog to run around! Surprisingly my dog didn’t even notice the huge chicken coop, he was more interested in the long grass. The host was so nice and I was even able to pick up some farm fresh eggs.

Such a wonderful spot and the hosts are so nice and helpful. It’s rare to find such a big fenced and well maintained spot. Had a great time

This place is so much more beautiful than the photos suggest! The chicken coop is definitely a spot of interest for pups and they keep the area incredibly clean and have both long grass and short grass areas to run and play, as well as a central yard area. The fence is reinforced, sturdy, and the hosts are incredibly kind. They are happy to come out and chat, this was our old girl's last hurrah trip and they were very kind to us. We plan to bring our greyhounds here to run as well. Their kiddo also loves pups if you have a super social dog! Will definitely be making the trip back here.

LSquared Dog Acres was beautiful and Liz and Casey were the most gracious hosts. We were traveling through the state, messed up the time zone and even managed to get ourselves lost. LSquared adjusted our booking time and helped us with directions!
We have two giant dogs: a Newfoundland and a Husky. They were desperate to get out of the car and stretch their legs. LSquared Dog Acres gave them plenty of space to full-out run.
When they tired out a bit, there was fresh water next to comfortable chairs and shade for the family—even a basket of squeaky chew toys for worn out pups!
Oh if your dogs are anything like ours they will be enamored by the chicken coop. Liz and Casey somehow built the Fort Knox of chicken coops, so the dogs can see the chickens eye to eye but they can’t do anything more than give the poor things nightmares. Well, at this point who’s to say the chickens aren’t the tough guys, eh? Our dogs loved going round and round, dreaming of somehow outsmarting that impenetrable chicken coop.
Thank you very much, Casey and Liz. Our whole family had a lovely afternoon at LSquared Dog Acres. We wish we lived closer! Next time we pass through again, we’ll try to book another play date.

Such a beautiful property with LOTS of space. I had zero worry about the fencing and loved to see my dog run and have so much to sniff! It was very clean and well kept and didn’t have to worry about my dog getting into anything!

This place is incredible! From the hosts being helpful and kind and the space is just amazing, safe, huge, with tons of toys, water, chairs and even a swing set for my youngest to play on when he got tired of walking with the dogs. Cannot wait to go back!!

Our 4 dogs had a great time running, sniffing, and playing. And our little escape artists did not get out of the fence and they can dig out and open gates, so this was a great place. We will definitely return.

Shadow had a great run felt safe to run and him not escape. He enjoyed the wide open space and smells of the countryside checking out the other animals. The location is convenient. Looking forward to returning.

What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks
Many hosts have added water features like pools and/or are nearby lakes or rivers.
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.
