This was a nice fenced area where we were able to privately play fetch with ample space. Even though you can hear other dogs and see them on the property, there are in a separate area - we didn’t mind and neither did our dog which was great. Would go again.

We had lots of fun here! No shade in the fully enclosed area but we were able to explore the pond and forest with our dogs off-leash. The owner was incredibly kind and let us meet the alpacas. Fun for both owners and our pups!! Thank you!

My dog Arctic has a fantastic time! We brought a ball but definitely didnt need it, he was so content to roam around and check out the alpacas. The area was totally secured and overall the visit was very peaceful! Arctic crashed as soon as we got home.

Lisa's sniffspot was wonderful! The field is well fenced and gated and the trails are great. The alpacas were super chill, the dogs enjoyed sniffing them and saying hi. 10/10 would go again.

My dog enjoyed barking at the alpacas more than running in the fenced in area! There are 2 gates into the fenced in area, one is between where the alpacas are and where your dog runs. I had to stand and guard the gate between him and the alpacas because he loved them so much I knew he would squeeze himself under the gate. Beautful property. We walked on the forest a bit but we came a day after it rained so it was a bit muddy.

Great place to bring our dog-reactive pup, guaranteed to not run into other pups! Beautiful space to explore around and the enclosed area is great for an off-leash play. We kept our reactive one on a long line as he was on a mission of scaring off the alpacas (cutest most curious fluffs!) and I didn’t want him to get any ideas of going under the gate (I don’t know that he would have, but better safe than sorry!) The alpacas were indifferent about my little maniac. We will definitely be returning!

had the most amazing time on Lisa’s property with my Aussie. He was able to explore and run freely and see livestock for the first time. I will 100% be taking him back here. Lisa is so kind and welcoming! thank you so much.

Such a beautiful space! My dogs (and kids!) Had a fantastic time and did not want to leave! We drove about 2 hours to get here and it was totally worth the drive. Will definitely visit again

Very spacious, my dogs loved watching the
Alpacas 🦙 theres more than enough room for dogs to run! Just watch smaller dogs near gaps.
Family was very nice and loved that they guided you on where to go!
Definitely recommend!

What a fantastic spot! Large open area for our dogs to play and trails through the bush. Perfect! Lisa was so kind in offering us towels if we needed after our play and her hubby let us visit with their alpacas, which was the highlight of the day! Will definitely be back!

Such a nice peaceful place to spend time with my pups. My female border collie is very reactive to unfamiliar dogs so the opportunity to have her off leash was really nice. We walked around, the dogs swam in the pond. We played in the yard for a bit. A very pleasant visit.

Had a nice visit. Area was well maintained and our dogs had a great time exploring. The people on the property were very friendly. Not the biggest space but it was great for getting some sniffs in, doing some training, and running/playing in the pen. Lots of toys available and fresh drinking water.

Great spot! The host left out a clean bowl with water, some tasty treats, and lots of toys! My two dogs had a great time playing in the fenced in pen and sniffing around the area!

What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks
Many hosts have added water features like pools and/or are nearby lakes or rivers.
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. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
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 doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. 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.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
