55This was such a wonderful and fun experience for our 10 month old rescue puppy! She has a lot of energy and some anxiety. So it was great to have her run free in a big yard that is fully fenced in and away from possible triggers. She was so so happy. We will definitely be back! Thank you to the host! Samantha S.

55I took my pup and some client’s pups that I’m boarding, here to go have a nice run around. It’s a wonderfully spacious and level yard. There’s plenty of space for high speed laps and chasing. Seating available and amenities like a fire pit and heat lamp too! The homeowner greeted us and asked if it was ok to meet the pups. He was kind enough to offer the pups a nice big container of water and made sure we had everything we needed for a great time. Definitely scheduling more play dates here in the future! Thanks for everything!Stephanie C.

55Jack loved frolicking around in the snow and getting laps in as well as thrashing around twigs. This is his favorite Sniffspot.
Great wide open space for pups to enjoy and burn off their energy while being perfectly safe and contained. The owners are the sweetest and most accommodating people. Highly recommend!Stephanie C.

55Dave the host is great: super accommodating, friendly and definitely a dog lover! The firepit area was so relaxing, and our dog Jill had a wonderful time running around off leash. We made a lot of progress teaching her fetch! Our rescue dog has some issues with reactivity, she gets overexcited very easily, so the fencing and wide open space for her to run made it safe and relaxing for all! Thanks Dave!Jessica S.

FAQ about our Montclair 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.
