We've yet to have anything but a GREAT TIME @ Paul's. Clean yard, quiet neighbourhood, fully fenced & with enough room for the Westies to RUN.
Patricia's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In London | Sniffspot
55Paul's Yard for dogs is a great spot for you & your furkids to spend some time. This backyard is very well maintained. There's ample full sun as well as ample shade. Water, toys, treats, poop bags & a garbage bin are all provided. Although not the largest yard we've been to, this one we found perfect for our Westiesthis time of year. Enough space to run after Chuckit balls, but also enough to walk around & sniff as the temp rose. This yard had a really neat, relaxed vibe to it, not surprising since it's in Old North. So, either before your visit or after, you can take the pups for a walk in the tree lined streets of one of London's premier neighbourhoods (Full disclosure - we lived in Old North for almost 40 yrs., so I just might be a a tad biased:):):) The only caveat I'll mention is that you can hear people in the adjoining backyard, as well as their dog barking in the house. Now the people were really nice & the barking dog only momentarily caught the attention of the Westies. It's all good.Paul C.

Patricia's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In London | Sniffspot
55Clean property, perfect for throwing a ball. Just a friendly reminder that the property backs up onto a busy public park. The area is fenced in but with spring weather, there’s more people walking around with unleashed dogs. I had an encounter today with two individuals/two dogs that had no recall and were stalking my dog in the yard. The dogs actually went into the neighbours yard to get closer. Thankfully my dog just barks but if your dog is highly reactive, be aware. (Absolutely no fault of the property owner, just general public that have a lack of awareness). Thank you for providing a safe enclosed space for nervous dogs!Jenna P.

55My olde english bulldogge had a blast. She is very high energy and reactive with other dogs so dogs parks aren't an option. Watching her run off leash and play was so awesome. At the end of our hour she ran up and gave me a big kiss. Needless to say she enjoyed! Thank you so much! - Mo and her human Rachel 🩷Rachel M.

FAQ about our North London dog parks
Are there dog parks in North London for reactive dogs?
Yes! North London has 2 private dog parks specifically designed for reactive, anxious, or dog-selective pets. Unlike public dog parks where unexpected encounters can trigger your reactive dog, Sniffspot offers completely private bookings. That means only you and your dogs will be there. We enforce 30-minute buffers between visits so you won't run into other park users when arriving or leaving. This makes North London Sniffspots perfect for reactive dogs who need safe off-leash exercise.
How many private dog parks are in North London?
North London has 2 private Sniffspot locations ranging from cozy backyard spaces to expansive properties spanning 0.5+ acres. You'll find dog water parks, small dog parks, and fully fenced dog parks options, each offering complete privacy during your reserved time. Browse listings to compare sizes, amenities, fencing, and reviews from other North London dog owners.
Are North London dog parks friendly for all dog types?
Absolutely! North London Sniffspot locations work for every type of dog: puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel safer away from large breeds, high-energy dogs requiring space to run, and yes, reactive or anxious dogs needing privacy. Because bookings are completely private, you can customize the experience to your dog's specific needs—whether that's careful puppy introductions or stress-free exercise for nervous dogs.
Will there be other dogs at North London dog parks?
No, that's what makes Sniffspot different from public dog parks! We only allow one booking at a time, and host dogs must be kept away during your visit. When you book a North London dog park, you have the entire space to yourself (plus any dog-owning friends you invite). This privacy is crucial for reactive dogs, puppies in training, or any dog who needs space from other animals.
What makes North London dog parks safe for anxious dogs?
North London Sniffspot locations provide controlled, predictable environments without the chaos of public dog parks. There are no aggressive dogs, no inattentive owners, and no unexpected encounters that could traumatize anxious or fearful dogs. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars, with many highlighting how safe their reactive or anxious dogs felt.
Can puppies use North London dog parks?
Absolutely! North London dog parks are ideal for puppy socialization because they provide controlled, distraction-free environments. Puppies can practice recall, build confidence, and explore without the overwhelming chaos of public dog parks. Just ensure your puppy has age-appropriate vaccinations before visiting any North London Sniffspot.
Are North London dog parks good for small dogs?
Yes! Many North London Sniffspot hosts mark their spaces as "small dog friendly," meaning they're appropriately sized for toy breeds and small dogs. Unlike public dog parks where small dogs risk being overwhelmed or injured by larger breeds, North London private bookings give your small dog the entire space to themselves. Look for secure fencing with minimal gaps and hosts who understand petite pup needs.
What are the requirements for North London dog parks?
All dogs must have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. Each North London host may have additional requirements listed on their booking page. Most welcome all breeds, sizes, and temperament levels, including reactive dogs who can't safely visit traditional public dog parks.
