55This was an incredible time for our pups, especially as Sniff Spot first-timers! One of ours can get pretty scared and our yard is very small, so this was a great way for them to just let loose and get a good run in. They enjoyed all the sniffs, for sure! It was the first time we were able to see one of our dogs really run loose in such a large space, so it was a great treat for us as well. The view is great, the yard is beautifully maintained and the entire experience was an absolute joy. We'll definitely be back. Thanks, Bruce!!! 🐶🐶Christine M.

55The private park was great! Tons of room to explore and lots of great sniffing spots throughout. We weren't able to stay long due to an unexpected storm, but Bruce was very gracious in refunding our money so we can reschedule for a better day. Naomi C.

55Bruce’s place is awesome! A really good size, and completely fenced. Plenty of shady spots for me and the dogs. He also leaves out doggy bags (if you forgot your own) and a water bowlChelsea D.

55This place was beautiful. The water for the dogs was appreciated as well as the hand sanitizer and bug spray. Our dogs throughly enjoyed themselves and the open space. One of our dogs is super high energy and never stopped running around while we where there. I think we accomplished getting his energy worn down some. Kelsey T.

FAQ about our West Haven fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
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 can I find fully fenced dog parks in West Haven?

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.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
