The yard was clean, had cute agility equipment as pictured. The instruction was clear and there’s also a sign on the gate. Water dish and toys provided. I miss having a yard and this was nice.

My dogs had the greatest time, they were living their best lives! The yard was big enough for them to run and chase each other at full speed. Annemarie couldn’t have been kinder - I had a question during my time there and she came out to help! Thank you so much for providing your space to us and all dogs!

This was great!! There were some toys out, a pool and hose, ball pit. I think my boyfriend and I had more fun playing than the dog did 😂 We’d love to come back sometime! Highly recommend.

This was an awesome space . My dog really enjoyed it. They have a little kiddie pool and a ball pit. We live in a one bedroom apartment and don't have a yard so my dog loved it. There was also a place to sit

Buck had so much fun! The second we let him off the leash he was in full zoomies mode. The owner was also super helpful with answering any questions i had. The toys and water bowl were a perfect addition as well. Buck had loads of fun. We will surely be back!

I am from out of town, and the host was able to accommodate chewy and I. It had rained earlier in the day, it was nice host had bug spray available if needed.
Having a table with umbrella, and dog toys available was a very nice touch. Location is in a truly peaceful park setting.
Host was very responsive to all questions, and will definitely visit again next time we are in the area.
Thank you for having us.

I’ve visited this property multiple times and it’s always beautiful. The yard is always clean and mowed. The dogs love to climb down in the creek and play. Lots of room to run.

My 4 little dogs had an amazing time at this Sniffspot! The second they were off leash once we entered the gate, they all took off into the HUGE backyard. They had no problem climbing down to the creek to play in the water, and then after crossing over the bridge to enter the back part of the yard to explore the trails. If there were any gaps in the fence anywhere, they couldn’t find them, and believe me; they looked!
There were chairs setup throughout the property which I thought was a nice touch in case I wanted to sit at any point. Everything was beautifully maintained. We will be coming back for sure, my pups were exhausted after all their exploring!

Our pup had such a fun time being off leash exploring this extensive fenced in backyard. The back half feels like a private nature reserve with a creek and walking trails. We will definitely be back soon!

Amazing yard! Completly fenced in, except for a small part of the water, my dog didn’t even notice it though. Very much enjoyed running in the big yard, cooling off in the water, and exploring the back paths! Perfect place to practice off-leash adventuring. Will defiantly be coming back again. Thank you for sharing your backyard!

Upon arrival, I checked the address multiple times because I was terrified of walking into the wrong backyard. But it was enough space for fetch and he loved the creek!
What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks
Many hosts have added water features like pools and/or are nearby lakes or rivers.
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.
