55I absolutely loved Peter’s yard and so did my 2 dogs! I’ve been actively visiting different yards to find one that fits us the best & Peter’s yard was it! It had toys, seating areas, perfect amount of yard space, water source, human bathroom which was shown to us by the gentleman that met us in the front yard when we arrived. I will definitely visit Peter’s place from now on! Thank you, Peter! Carla R.

55Wonderful shade!!! It was a well sized yard for my 3 "city dogs."
My 10-year-old frenchie, 6 yr old female black pug (loves the shade) and my 1 yr old bully mix were tuckered out in 30 mins!

55Super clean and well kept!! Great size for my 2 dogs! My ONLY small complaint is there was a small space in the fence that opened up into the yard next-door that one of my pups was able to sneak through - I blocked it with a log. Would totally use the space again!Devon K.

55This is our favorite sniffspot! It's clean, it's beautifully kept, there's always bags and water for the doggies. The fence is high and private, and it's just shady and breezy and big. Thank you Drew! Julie B.

55Perfect amount of space to tire my 2 pups out. Everything was exactly as described - plenty of tennis balls and chuck it balls, as well as some spare poo bags in case you forget yours. We will definitely be back!Andrea C.

55This spot was PERFECT for our newly rescued dog. She loved sniffing all around and playing fetch (but mostly rolling around and getting tired out 😂). She’s a big dog, 85 pounds, and escape artist but the fences were perfect and she stayed in the area no problem! Anna H.

55The dogs had so much fun! The owner did message me beforehand to explain that a couple of small areas in the yard were currently netted off due to some baby bunnies, which wasn't a problem. Just made sure that the dogs stayed away from those spots. The yard was nice and we will be back again!Lindsey K.

55We had a great time! My dog really got to stretch her legs and enjoyed chasing her ball and rolling in the beautiful grass!
Space exactly as described. Well maintained and clean. Amenities as listed and accessible. Area was very accessible and easy to navigate to. Great Tosa location. Will be rebooking.
Potential triggers for those with concerns:
Neighbors did have a dog outside that did run up to the fence and barked at my dog but neighbors did redirect the dog when this occurred.
Some gaps along small portion of fence line that a dog who digs or very small dog could potentially squeeze under if unsupervised.
Yard faces a road where cars are visible and audible through the fence. Was there during normal rush hour but only one or two cars passed so I’m assuming it’s not a busy side road. Yard and fence safe distance from road. Erika O.

55We have a 7 1/2 month old Malinois, who can be pretty reactive at times, so we had some concerns. The space was amazing, very clean, and our little guy loved it. Very slight noise from the neighborhood (which we were hoping for ) didn't hear any dogs. We felt very welcomed and are thankful to have been able to get some exercise there, we will be back for sure!Steven B.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot, and not only will I use it again, but I would definitely book this particular spot again as well! So cozy and quiet, but still plenty of room for my pup to explore and play. He struggles with dog reactivity and high anxiety, so being in a yard that is frequented by another dog (who wasn't present, obviously) gave him the chance to sniff around on someone else's turf without having to interact, since he's just not ready for that yet. The hosts put out a fresh bowl of water for us, the yard was extremely secure, they left us a welcome note, provided plenty of toys and some seating, and even the wifi password! All in all, 10/10 would recommend this spot. Great for one dog or a small pack!Andrea H.

FAQ About Wauwatosa 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.
