55We took our two puppies for first time last Sunday. Fiona was very friendly and the space for them was great. There was some agility facilities for them to try and some toys around for them to play. Our boys had a blast and we are definitely visiting again soon. Thank you Fiona for all your hard work making the place perfect for all kind of puppies. Miguel J.

55Awesome spot for training and sniffing. Our working dog Kobe loved running around although he probably could have stayed 2 hours! The set up made it that extra special as they have provided a long line, water and toys. Kobe even got a swim in the pond! Alyce M.

55We took our two fur babies to Rachael's lovely property and they had a blast. Rachael was very welcoming and having dogs that are reactive to other dogs it was so nice to have somewhere to go and not have to worry. We will be returning Toni E.

55A great place to let your dog explore & to do some training. No other dogs to distract our pup but she was fascinated by the two horses across the pond. Such a lovely quiet spot… we’ll definitely be back! Camilla M.

55Had a great time at the Sniffari Paddock!! The dogs loved it and had a fantastic time running, swimming and exploring. 😍
Great venue, safe place for your dog/s to explore. I liked the variety of the different paddocks. I now know why it is hard to get a time slot for this place and why it is so popular. Will definitely be back (and would highly recommend it, but wouldn't want more people knowing about this little gem in Horokiwi)
The host was lovely, great communication, you can tell they take great pride in the sniffari to make a great place for dogs and their owners.
Thank you.Anke C.

55Our dogs loved this! Fully fenced, lots of room to run around, plenty of space to play and they loved the pond to cool down in - we were lucky to get a beautifully sunny day. Great hosts welcomed and showed us round on arrival. Sophie B.

FAQ about our Pukekawa 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Pukekawa 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 1 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.
