55Great for a quick stop to get the pups wiggles out! There was a dog barking from inside the house, our dog is reactive but he just noticed them and didn’t bark back. Breanna E.

55Left us water bowls and different sized tennis balls for our pup to have a blast! He absolutely loved it! Very easy to find, and the slant of the yard made him work extra hard in his zoomies :)Natalie K.

55Our dog has so much fun! The yard has plenty of room to run, chase balls, and get out his zoomies. The fence is high enough, so I don't have to worry about him escaping. The host is very considerate providing a towel for clean up, water, toys, and doggie bags. She even shoveled a path after a snowy night. Kathy C.

55Thank you so much for renting out your space my dog ran himself tired! It was nice to have a place to let my dog have some off leash time without fear of him running off! There was a nice squeaky ball and bags left out for poop! Will definitely go back when it isn't cold out if possible! Nimah K.

55This was our first time using sniffspot. Beth’s yard was perfect for our reactive dog. He could still hear (but not see) other dogs which gave us the opportunity to work with him on ignoring the occasional bark. He had a great time playing, fetching, and then relaxing in the shade!Holli K.

55My Greyhound and I LOVED this spot. We live in an apartment so we have to be leashed at all times. My girl got the zoomies and gladly chilled out in the many parts of the yard. Beth was super welcoming and even put out tennis balls, a kiddie pool, a towel, and bubbles! Thank you, Beth! We will be coming back! ☺️Amanda E.

55Love this BEAUTIFUL space. Landscaping is always perfect, and there’s a cute patio to sit on while we get to watch our pup run around. The yard is always so clean and nice mowed as well! Morgan O.

55This spot was WONDERFUL! It was beautiful, safe, and fun! I really liked the place to sit for adults too, really comfortable chairs. I usually use a walker but I had no trouble going in or out of the spot, without it. There is a really nice fence, that I could use to stabilize myself if needed. My dogs were so happy! Thank you so much for this opportunity!!Kelly M.

55What a wonderful spot to bring your fur baby!! The yard is so clean and beautiful; and a water-filled bowl, toys, bubbles, and dry towel were left out for us (along with a little pool and hose, for warmer weather). The fence is wooden and at least 6’ tall, so no worries about escapes. Our sweet little shelter dog we brought had the best time, getting the zoomies, sniffing the flowers, playing with her toys, and getting belly rubs! I’ll definitely be back again!!Carolyn G.

FAQ about our Madison small dog parks
Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
