55This spot was very nice, there are two separate areas dogs can go into, one is small and up against the side of the house, the other is a much larger area for dogs to run. My dog enjoyed both areas, playing fetch in the bigger area and exploring the smaller. The larger area has two sets of gates, one is the entrance and one is near the back of the yard, and most of the fencing including the two sets of gates have wide openings that my 50lb pup was able to climb through, so definitely keep that in mind if your dog is the type to wander off. We had a great time here!Kip S.

5510/10 Sniffspot! Shawna’s yard is the perfect size for dogs to really run and play, without getting out of sight. There’s plenty of shade, water, and tennis balls. The neighborhood is quiet, and my dogs had a great time playing without any distractions. We will definitely be back! :)Steffanie R.

55My dog loved it. We moved from a house with a huge yard to an apartment with no patio a few months ago and she was over the moon about this place. She just wanted to walk along the perimeter with me and we did that almost the whole time, she’d bark every time I sat down. It was so sweet to see her completely content and exploring like that. They have lots of tennis balls, fresh water, and doggy bags. A perfect little sniff spot! Steph D.

Fully fenced Yard For Dogs To play In S. Reno | Sniffspot
55My two Dobermans and I had a great time visiting! We mostly spent time in the larger fenced area, which was the perfect size for playing fetch with a chuck-it. There were no sharp rocks on the ground (mostly grass and softer dirt) which my soft-footed puppies appreciated. The gaps between the slats in the fence were close enough together that my big dogs weren’t tempted to crawl through, but if you have a smaller dog more determined to escape, it might be better to stick to the smaller fenced yard. Overall we definitely recommend this spot!Steffanie R.

55The spot was great! Remy loved the open space to play fetch. The host was very friendly and said that the yard is still in the process of being cleaned up fully, so I'm sure future visits will be even better!Kip S.

55Our dog had such a fun time running around all of the areas available in Kelly’s spot! There was water and a chair available for us in the front area, though we spent more time in the back, larger area as our dog loves to play frisbee. Really nice remote area that allowed our dog to just enjoy sniffing and running without any worry of having another dog interrupt. Highly recommend!Katie W.

55Amber's place was perfect for my dogs to run around, explore, and wear themselves out. She greeted us and walked around the property for a brief moment to let us know about the property. Highly recommend! Rebecca Z.

55Plenty of room to run around, completely fenced and clean. Lots of places for sniffing/exploring or fetch. Easy in & out and parking. Quiet area, the two Pygmy goats were interesting to my pup but went in their house and didn’t do much. I could see a horse over the creek but it would have been difficult for my dog to see and it was probably 100 ft away. Chelsi T.

FAQ About Reno 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. 19% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Reno 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 39 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 78 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.
