Kori’s Sniffspot was amazing! Her yard was super safe and my dogs loved the pool. There was lots of grass area for the dogs to run and play too. Kori was also very welcoming and accommodating, we will definitely come back soon! This is for sure a spot to check out with your furry friends!

FAQ about our Lakeland 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.
