55My favorite sniff spot in the area! The fences are so secure, I never have to worry about my dogs getting out, and there's plenty of room for them to run. They had a great time today!shelby y.

55Nice large area!! The house is away from this separate fenced in area so perfect for shy dogs who wouldn't want a house in the yard. Also for privacy. The neighbor had a little dog come up to the fence and he was so sweet and cute. He must be interested in seeing who is visiting each day hahaha. My chihuahuas spent most of their hour walking the perimeter repeatedly to make sure they peed on every leaf. Lots of toys, bowls, towels, poop bags, etc left out for families to use. This was absolutely perfect on all levels and can't wait to come back with my 3. Chelsea K.

55First time visiting, my dog loved it! Plenty of room for me to be able to throw the ball and him sprint to chase it. He loved smelling all the smells and definitely wore him out. There were tons of toys available, poop bags and a trash bin. Would visit again (: Christina C.

55This is bar none my dog’s (and my) favorite sniffspot. On the days he just wants to go spend time under the trees scoping out what’s happening nearby, that gives me the opportunity to play frisbee and practice my kicks in a huge field. This sniffspot is a gem!Kirsten C.

55Travis is a fantastic host. My son & I had my two dogs to his property for our first Sniffspot adventure today. Travis' location is secluded, safely fenced in, extremely large for lots of running and fetching, water bowls & toys are provided as is seating & a table. The property gets plenty of afternoon sun making our experience on this very chilly January day quite enjoyable. Highly recommend this location and we will be back very soon! Joanne C.

55Nice flat, well fenced area with clear boundaries. Some mole incursions in one corner but close enough to fencing to not affect long sprints. Adequate shade as long as sun isn’t at zenith. Few loud barking dogs but not at the fence. Lots of balls available. Doesn’t feel like we are intruding on someone’s back deck! Summer K.

55Fabulous! Sage and our family had a great time! Be careful about the slight gap that opens from the latch. Sage tried to sneak out when I was leaving to get water.Apoorva J.

FAQ about our Wake Forest 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Wake Forest 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 133 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 31 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.
