55Beautiful yard with lots of space to run and seating for people. The host was wonderful and left out bins with water, treats, toys, and other supplies to use. It is close to a road with a reasonable amount of traffic, so might not be best for dogs that spook at cars, but my pup (who does sometimes spook at trucks) got used to it within the first few minutes of being there.

55We have our first experience in this lovely place. It’s big enough for your babies to run, sniff and have a good play day. Private, easy to get there and provide you with everything you might need to have a good day. We definitely are coming back.
Totally recommend!! Francilena R.

551st time visiting with my recent rescue. Very well maintained. I live in a condo so besides our long walks and hikes, it was the perfect yard to let him run free. Fresh water, toys and treats were available too. Highly recommend!!!Julie R.

55I enjoy coming here regularly with my three-old Shetland Sheepdog. With the SniffSpot located near the road, it gives him the chance to channel in his inner herder and get his energy out by chasing after the cars going by. Lauren M.

55This is a great spot with a good-sized, securely-fenced yard. It was clean and there were treats, water and other supplies (eg bug spray). It’s nice to have a sitting area too. Communication with Megan was quick. I’ll use it again with my foster pups from Canine Humane Network in Highland.Patty L.

55Great find! We had a wonderful visit with our two dogs. Fully fenced in yard with ample seating for the humans. Yard was nice and clean, lovely grass, not muddy and well kept. Although house is along a somewhat busy road, I walked the perimeter and the fence is secure, no gaps and sturdy. I had no concerns after inspecting the fence. Lovely added bonus of special toys and treats secured in a tote box available for use, accompanied by a large bowl of fresh water. Our dogs very much enjoyed themselves and we will back. Tip for new visitors, my phone lost service as we approached the house (T-Mobile), I suggest taking a photo of the house description and instructions before arriving in case you also have network issues. Once we were in the yard, my phone was okay, it was only a problem when first approaching the house. Host provided excellent communication both initially at the time of the booking and after the visit. Highly recommended. Kim L.

55What a great time we had! This is an excellent SniffSpot- very very clean, well maintained, safe secure fence, comfortable place for the hoomans to sit, water bowl, and also some bins of toys (I didn’t open- we brought our own). It’s also VERY peaceful, on a quiet road with lots of green beyond the fence. There were so many good sniffs that for the first 15 minutes my fetch-loving pittie was barely interested in fetch! She had the best time ♥️ We have a small fenced yard at home but there’s not enough room for good long chuckit throws or flirt pole games. So this was perfect for us- plenty of room to throw. Also very welcoming host with good communication and clear directions. We will be back!

FAQ about our Glenelg 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 Glenelg 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 360 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 57 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.
