55Taking my reactive dog here made my week! She was so happy. It was a great property and even my other dog, who loves to jump fences, didn’t escape! Will definitely come back. Kaylee f.

55Our boy loves being able to run free and lead the way! We don’t have to worry about him escaping or having stressful encounters with others, which is unfortunately an issue for us. There are a couple of nice little trails with creek beds so your dog can choose their own adventure. There is a nice large pasture area for fetch and benches to rest. This will be a regular weekend outing for us going forward! Ashley D.

55My dog had a wonderful time, running through the woods, rolling in the creek and doing zoomies! It was great to see her enjoying herself so much. And great job on the fencing…I was impressed that you managed to fence off the creek where it ended at the property line. Also really appreciated the water at the entrance so I could hose my dog off. We’ll be back!Laura G.

FAQ about our Gainesville 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.
