This spot is perfect for me and my pups. Plenty of space to explore safely for the little one. The fence is beautiful and tall with no gaps. The yard is big enough to play fetch with the big one. And there's a great tree for resting in the shade, and there are chairs for the humans. We'll be back!

I live in a townhome with not much of a yard. I have a husky who is hit or miss with other dogs so I’m skeptical to bring her to public parks. This was great for my potentially reactive dog. I brought both of my huskies and they had a blast running around off-leash. The yard was big and fully fenced in. There were treats, poop bags, toys, bones, and a big water bowl. They even set out some bug spray and fresh water bottles for me. Great experience and my dogs are happy and ready for a big nap. 10/10 recommend!

This is a great location! The yard is a perfect size with lots of room for the pups to run and sniff around. And then take a rest in the shade. The fence is beautiful and secure. The pups had a great time and the grandmas had fun, too. Thank you!

We all loved the spot. Just enough room for my 2 pitbulls to run crazy. The high fence is great. Its solid with no holes for the fur babies to peep through and get distracted. And the host was very attentive. I will definitely be back!

This was so much fun for us! Great space for our one year old golden doodle to run around and get out some energy! We really appreciated the treats, toys, poop bags and use of the table and chairs.

This was an amazing spot to take our Jack Russell so he could just RUN! The yard was clean & the shade from the tree was perfect on this hot day. The patio area for us to sit & watch him run, was great! And what a nice touch that water, treats, & waste bags were provided! This is literally perfect & such a great idea! Thank you for sharing your large space with us!

Wonderful sniffspot located centrally to Willoughby! The fencing was super secure and added a lot of privacy to the spot - which is absolutely amazing for my reactive pup! Host even supplied water, treats, and poop bags. Would recommend this spot!

This place was great! We had no issues with the neighbor dog - there were several dogs being walked in the neighborhood, which is obviously not in the control of the host, but something to be aware of if you have a reactive dog like me. The yard itself is large and fenced, as promised. I’m sure we will be back!

spot was very clean and host provided bags, toys, and water. my dogs had fun but be careful with highly reactive dogs, neighbor dog is right next to parking behind chain link fence and on the hill my dog could see over the fence and was reacting to the neighborhood. overall good spot!

Wonderful sniffspot for my reactive pup Milo! He had tons of fun running up and down the hill, sniffing around the playground and deck equipment, and just having the time of his life. Host was super accommodating - leaving treats, poop bags, toys, and water! Note to reactive pup parents - there’s a neighbor with a reactive pup, with the chain fence. I almost walked out with milo and then heard the pup barking. Just a note when you are entering or exiting the space! We can’t wait to be back - this is a gem of a spot!!

FAQ about our Mentor 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.

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.
