55Very friendly and welcoming. We, humans and dogs, loved our visit. Such a great place where our dogs could just go for a run, swim in the water and mud. Doggie heaven 😀 Particularly great for our reactive dog who prefers his own space away from other dogs. We could have a thoroughly enjoyable time not having to worry about whether another dog was around the corner.
Thank you so much for this awesome opportunity! We will be back.Kylee M.

55My two dogs got very excited by the friendly horse neighbour and the big fluffy sheep in the other paddock. This made it difficult for them to fully decompress - however, after they managed to desensitise themselves enough and they thoroughly enjoyed getting stuck into some serious sniffing. We will definitely be back!Charlotte H.

55Annie is an excellent communicator, and the Sniffari Paddock is everything your dog could want for - lots of well fenced space which has been thoughtfully planted and is very well looked after. We loved it.Penny D.

55Our two dogs love the farm. One of them has had a hip replacement 2 years ago and it's a joy to watch her running around the paddock. Lots to sniff and investigate and really good shady spots that she finds to rest in when she needs a break. The other dog just wants to run and run, and this spot is perfect for that. He also loves the swampy pond in the lower paddock.Andy P.

FAQ about our Pakuranga 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. 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Pakuranga area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 3 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 2 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
