Maple Ridge Farms-100 Acre Woods

Unfenced
100 acres

Our 100 acre farm has been in the family for over 30 years. We have put a lot of time and effort into the property. And we would love to share it with you and your fur family to. The trails are all very well maintained. You will likely see birds, deer and plenty of wildlife throughout the trials. We hope to see you out and about enjoying it just as much as we do with all of our animals. ****Notes**** Happy WINTER❄️☃️Please keep the weather in mind. All of our trails are in the woods. We try our best to drive the trails and keep them open as much as we can snow permitting 💪❄️ We HIGHLY recommend if the wind is Above 15 mph to reschedule. (You can cancel and get your money back-we understand) We just don’t want you or your pet getting hurt if anything were to happen in the woods. One other thing. Don’t forget bring those Boots. 🥾 All of our trails are usually dry. But if you do come after it snows or rains it could be a little muddy. There could also be some sticks on the trails if it happens to be super windy the day before and we can’t always get them cleaned up right away-we do apologize in advance 😊💪 One other thing: if it's snow, we don't put the water buckets out because we don't want them to freeze. I don't know about your pups, but mine love to eat the snow anyways. 🪣🤣☃️ Thank you for checking out our spot!! We look forward to meeting you and your furfriends. 🐕☺️ Maple Ridge Farms ❤️ *** If you have any questions always feel free to message us and ask ☺️🐕

Squirrel's 60 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Battle Creek

Unfenced
60 acres

Squirrel Hollow Golf Course can provide a great place for your pup to explore in peace during the winter months. The clubhouse would be staffed and small handfuls of people may or may not be present. No other dogs or pets. The ponds on the property are man-made and very shallow and mucky… If your dog is a pond jumper, just beware! ⚠️🤣🐾 Feel free to stop in the clubhouse and grab a pop or a cocktail to take on your walk… Definitely bring a leash as the property is not fenced in. The Squirrel loves dogs!! 🐾

Redfield's Greenhouse & Plant Zoo - Marshall

Fully Fenced

Hi I'm Erika, I have a Goldendoodle named Polly, our sniffspot is located just 2 blocks from downtown Marshall-exact address provided upon reservation. We have a fenced in front and back yard (which can be separated by closing the side gate if you would rather only use the backyard). Polly will be kept inside and away from windows so you and your baby can have a fun and relaxing time. There is seating with shade on the front porch and seating on the back porch that you're welcome to use. As seen in pics there is also a blue tote next to the stairs in the backyard filled with water for squirt guns (provided), my dog loves to try to catch the water from the squirt guns. Make yourself at home. There is a basket on the patio table of things like hand sanitizer, bug spray, sun screen, Band-Aids (hopefully you don't need them but they're there just to be safe). Help yourself to anything you need. A water dish will also be provided which is washed after every reservation. Puppy pool can also be freshy filled for additional charge.

Frequently asked questions about Portage small dog parks

Where can I find small dog parks in Portage?

Portage has 133 private small dog parks available through Sniffspot, offering appropriately-sized exercise in completely private settings. These locations range from compact spaces to properties spanning 200+ acres. Whether you need a space for your reactive dog, puppy socialization, senior dog gentle exercise, or high-energy play, Portage small dog parks provide safe, private environments. Filter for "fewer dogs seen/heard," specific amenities, or fencing types to find your perfect match.

How many small dog parks are in Portage?

Portage offers 133 small dog parks ranging from compact spaces to properties spanning acres. You'll find options such as fully fenced dog park, indoor dog park, dog agility park, and more. Each Portage small dog park listing shows detailed photos, amenities, fencing specs, and reviews from local dog owners.

Are Portage small dog parks good for all dog types?

Yes! Portage small dog parks work for every dog: puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel safer without large breeds, high-energy dogs requiring space, and reactive or anxious dogs needing privacy. The completely private bookings mean each dog gets the environment they need. Browse Portage's 133 options to find spaces matching your dog's specific temperament and needs.

Will I encounter other dogs at Portage small dog parks?

Not a chance. Portage small dog parks operate on a strict one-booking-at-a-time system, so the space is entirely yours during your reserved slot. Host dogs are kept away, and there's a mandatory 30-minute buffer between bookings—meaning you won't cross paths with the previous or next guest. For Portage owners with reactive dogs, puppies, or any dog needing privacy, this makes all the difference in providing safe, stress-free exercise.

Are Portage small dog parks safe for fearful or anxious dogs?

Yes! Portage small dog parks provide controlled, predictable environments without the chaos of public dog parks. Since bookings are completely private with 30-minute buffers, anxious dogs can explore a space specifically sized and designed for small breeds under 25-30 pounds without overwhelming encounters. Many Portage dog owners specifically choose small dog parks for fearful dogs who need gentle, stress-free exercise environments.

Can puppies use Portage small dog parks?

Absolutely! Portage small dog parks are excellent for puppy socialization because they're private and controlled. Puppies can explore a space specifically sized and designed for small breeds under 25-30 pounds, practice recall, and build confidence without the overwhelming chaos that can create fear or reactivity in young dogs. Just ensure your puppy has age-appropriate vaccinations before visiting.

How do I choose the best small dog park in Portage?

Start by filtering Portage's 133 small dog parks for your specific needs: secure fencing for escape artists, "fewer dogs seen/heard" for reactive dogs, flat terrain for seniors, appropriate sizing for small dogs, or specific amenities for training. Look for "Top Spots" like Portage's Maple Ridge Farms-100 Acre Woods with excellent reviews.Read feedback from other Portage owners with similar dog types to find your perfect match.

What are Portage's small dog park requirements?

All dogs must have basic vaccinations or titers. Each Portage host may have additional rules on their listing. Most small dog parks welcome all breeds, sizes, and temperament levels, including reactive dogs who can't safely visit public dog parks. Adult supervision is required at all times.
