Very close to Scarborough Train Station. Fun for dogs and kids. Digging pit. Coolaroo elevated dog bed available. Plenty of room for fetch/frisbee. Zoomies on hills tires out your pup.

St Hubert's Private Dog Park in Madison

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

READ ACCESS INSTRUCTIONS BELOW! Half an acre of fenced in field for pups to play in privately on the beautiful property of St. Hubert's campus. Great to get zoomies out before or after a leashed hike or training class in our onsite dog training school. Feel free to stop by Buddy's Boutique after playtime for a doggie snack or new toy. All proceeds go to help homeless animals and low-income pet owners! Message before arrival for the combination to the lock on the gate. *Suggestion from host--lock the gate when you enter so no passersby can come in.

If you would like to have a birthday party, breed meet up or family reunion for 5-30 dogs, please message us here or email [email protected] or call 973-524-9098 for details that can be discussed.

TEMPORARY SPORADIC CLOSURE NOTICE: Due to renovations impacting the yard, we will be closed sporadically. During this time the side entrance and driveway will be unavailable. Please plan to park "up top" and take the stairs down to the yard. I'm sorry for the inconvenience! See you soon. Summer is almost here! Can't wait to see your pups enjoying the pool and/or splashpad! In the meantime, enjoy Spring and the sun without the humidity! Let your pups explore off-leash in Northwest Yonkers, just up the road from NYC. Plenty of space to sniff, play fetch, run, and maybe even chase some squirrels! Patio furniture, hammock (during warm months) & wi-fi for pet parents to lounge while your dog(s) roam. The hammock is rated for over 300 lbs - move to your desired spot, and enjoy but please move it back so the "runway" is clear for the next pups. Playdates and parties welcome! Check the Extras to rent folding tables and chairs so you have less to worry about.

Frequently asked questions about Oakland small dog parks

What do private small dog parks in Oakland offer that public parks don't?

Private small dog parks in Oakland offer complete privacy (no other dogs), specialized environments for appropriately-sized exercise, professionally maintained cleanliness, flexible 24/7 scheduling, and safe spaces for all temperaments—puppies, seniors, small dogs, reactive dogs, or any pup needing accommodations. Public dog parks in Oakland can't guarantee any of this. With 442 options, you get predictable, controlled environments perfect for your dog's specific needs.

Can I find fully fenced private dog parks in Oakland?

Yes! Most of Oakland's 442 private dog parks are fully fenced. Use the "fully fenced" filter to find secure enclosures with detailed specs: height (4ft, 6ft, 8ft+), material (wood, chain-link, vinyl), and gap information. This is crucial for escape artists, puppies learning boundaries, reactive dogs needing contained space, or small dogs who might squeeze through. Oakland listings include fencing photos so you can verify security.

When can puppies start visiting small dog parks in Oakland?

Puppies can visit Oakland small dog parks as early as 8-10 weeks with initial vaccinations, much earlier than the 16+ weeks needed for public park safety. This early, controlled socialization prevents fear and reactivity issues later. Plus, puppies can explore appropriately-sized exercise without being overwhelmed or learning bad behaviors from poorly socialized adult dogs. Many Oakland trainers specifically use small dog parks for puppy development.

How do I find private small dog parks near me in Oakland?

Browse Oakland's 442 small dog parks on Sniffspot by entering your neighborhood or zip code. Filter by distance, then narrow by features: fully fenced, "fewer dogs seen/heard," specific amenities, terrain type, or size. Each Oakland listing shows photos, reviews, exact location, and instant availability. Local favorite Wayfinder's Private Dog Park in Montclair is particularly popular among Oakland dog owners.

Can I rent small dog parks in Oakland by the hour?

Yes! All 442 small dog parks in Oakland are available for hourly rental. Most bookings are 1-2 hours, though you can reserve longer for training or events. Book instantly through Sniffspot, arrive during your time slot, and have complete privacy. Many Oakland dog owners rent weekly for consistent, safe exercise.

What's the difference between Sniffspot small dog parks and public dog parks in Oakland?

The biggest difference is privacy and control. Public dog parks in Oakland mean sharing space with unknown dogs and owners. That means you can't control who shows up or how they behave. Sniffspot's 442 Oakland small dog parks give you private bookings where only your dogs are present. You choose the time, the space, and the environment. Plus, your pup enjoys appropriately-sized exercise and maintained cleanliness that public parks can't guarantee.

Are there indoor small dog parks in Oakland?

Yes! Oakland has climate-controlled indoor small dog parks perfect for extreme weather, rainy days, or year-round exercise. Indoor Oakland locations typically feature protective flooring, controlled temperatures, and enclosed environments. They're especially popular for puppy training, senior dogs, reactive dogs, or anyone wanting consistent access regardless of Oakland weather. Filter by "indoor" to see options.

How do Oakland small dog parks help with dog training?

Oakland trainers love small dog parks because privacy eliminates distractions. Work on recall, practice confidence building in appropriately-sized spaces, recall for toy breeds, or socialization with size-matched playmates, reinforce obedience, socialize puppies, or address reactivity without interruptions. For reactive dogs, train without trigger-stacking. For puppies, practice skills in controlled increments. For any dog, get focused training time in an environment specifically designed for appropriately-sized exercise.
