Awesome yard, sweet host! My Husky mix and my friend's Heeler mix are both high energy and loved getting to use that to run around! Will likely book again!

Great location and backyard with room to run and explore. Wonderful host with a great patio to rest and drink some water. Macie (a rescue shar-pei) loves visiting and leads the way to the gate.

Great place to stop when traveling. Very close to the highway and a very clean, roomy and safe place to let your dog run and stretch their legs.

The yard was spacious and very peaceful. My dog had a blast running around without a leash on. It actually tired him out on our drive back home. I would recommend and will be going back.

The wooden fence around the backyard was safe and secure. Lots of great old trees to provide shade for both people and dogs. The grass is lush and green, making it a fun place to play sniffing games. Will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Beautiful space! Easy to access, wonderful communication from the host :) The neighbor was outside with their dog but they were both really quiet, the dogs couldn’t see them and they didn’t set off our more reactive dog. Definitely recommend!

Loved this spot! Huge securely fenced lawn! Bit of a small hill and a few trees to hide behind playing tag with my pup! Easy to find, absolutely had a great time! Would love to return— truly just a treasure! So happy we tried this gem!

Pups had just as much fun today as the first time! Brought a third dog this time and he had a blast!! Fencing secure enough for an 8 pound Pom, 12 pound Maltese, and a 13 pound shih tzu. They also enjoyed the agility equipment.

We had a first doggy birthday party at Living Life off Leash private dog park. The dogs and humans had a blast! Lots of space to run, shade, toys, chairs for the humans, and a swimming pool for the pups. We were surprised with a Happy Birthday banner on the barn perfect a picture backdrop! Highly recommend!

Dena’s space was kept clean, and nice. The dogs had so much fun playing with the toys she had available. She even had left fresh water and bug spray to use!

Lovely spot complete with everything you need from toys and water bowls, to agility equipment. Thank you for allowing us to use your space!

Well taken care of area. Grass was short, but plants around the fences made for good smells :) Large fenced area for my pups to run to their hearts content. Small gaps in a couple spots, but secure enough to contain an eight pound Pomeranian mix. There was some agility equipment too that they had fun with. Overall a great spot! This was my first time using Sniffspot and I’m so glad I did! (I took videos but the only pics I got were blurry action shots 😅 they were having a blast though so I didn’t want to interrupt 😂)

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.
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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 are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
