55This place is amazing. It's huge and double gated. There were horses and donkeys that said hello through the gate. All my pups absolutely loved it. She was kind enough to offer chairs for us and there were multiple toys at our disposal. There also was a little water hose so we could refill our waters and hose the dogs off after since it did rain a few days prior to our arrival so there was mud puddles but the dogs loved it!brittany j.

55Backyard is HUGE!!! It was sooo amazing to let my girl run free. She’s an apartment dog and we don’t do dog parks. It was the best to see her chasing balls off leash and still protected by a fence. I will definitely be back! Easy to access and they left out toys. So nice!!Maggie C.

55This was the first time I ever used sniff spot and Penny’s was an amazing experience. The yard is huge and securely fenced with six foot fencing. Covered porch so that humans can sit and watch the pups play while staying out of the sun. There were toys and a bowl of water for the pups along with poop bags. So grateful to have been able to rent this space out and let my dogs run as a break from our very long road trip. Allie R.

55Laurence and I have been visiting his favorite place for a few months now… and it has made a huge difference to his reactivity. Sniffspot has become officially part of my behavioral modification protocols and dog training. Sniffspot became one of the most valuable training tools! A way to successfully provide both mental stimulation and offer an energy outlet while you work on behavior and manners! (Certified animal behaviorist and k9 trainer)Kalliopi L.

55Such a beautiful backyard! Lots of space to run and play. My boy is pretty lazy and doesn’t like to play with toys outside🙃 but he had a blast getting to smell all of the smells. Super hot day so he throughly enjoyed the kiddie pool! The host offered everything you can think of for my fur baby; waste bags, a trash can, toys of ALL kinds, a water bowl, and a kiddie pool. Very nice shaded area for me to sit as well. Beyond thankful to have found them. I have one tired pup. 😊Charli B.

FAQ about our Smithfield 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.
