55Good space to run around and practice agility. There were 7 dogs near the neighboring barn visible and barking while we were there. For our dog, the disatance was just enough where we could practice desensitization but if your dog is reactive it is good to keep in mind. Lauren M.

55Our boy Lou had the best time. Fully fenced and safe for dogs to play and roam without worry. This is our first time using Sniff spot and we will definitely be back to this location! Erica O.

55This spot was perfect for my 2 year old, energetic dog. We had more than enough room to play fetch, for her to just run, and she loved sniffing the pony near by.Brittany W.

55This was our first time visiting a sniff spot, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! I have two little 13 pound terriers and the whole enclosure was secure even for their size which was great. We got to try the agility obstacles which was hilarious, and the boys had so much fun zooming around, sniffing, and even just watching the pony in the adjacent enclosure. We’ll definitely be coming again. Nina H.

FAQ about our Waterloo 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.
