What people say about dog parks around Ocala, Florida
Shannon C.
December 2022
The fencing is secure and I had zero attention on my dog escaping. There were dogs and people but nothing they were doing in the distance bothered my dog. In fact, I was excited to see a chiropractor holding clinic for local pet owners and plan to bring my dog next month. All listed amenities were available. I appreciated the owner noticing the smaller space was not working for my particularly nose/scent driven and need to RUN dog. I was allowed to take her to the back pasture where she and I had a blast. Nice people.

FAQ about our Ocala 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.
