55😍 Huge open pasture. We came at the wrong time of year when there were just too many foxtails to really let the dog run free, but I can’t wait to come back when those have died down a bit. Camilla E.

55Our dogs had so much fun! Plenty of room in this big field for running and sniffing. They didn’t try to get through the unfenced, brushy areas. The location was very convenient and easy to access, and the host was welcoming and easy to contact if needed. We’ll be back! Ashley S.

55Solid section of pasture to run your pups. There are some small gaps in the fence so if you have an escape artist or a dog that likes to run off, I wouldn't suggest this local. No complaints.

55We had a BLAST! My google maps hates me so we were a bit late arriving but we still had plenty of time to have fun! We have 2 dogs our 7 yo boxer/gsp mix Jaxson who is a die hard fetch fan lol. And our deaf 3 yo doodle Bailey whom we are learning off the leash training, having a secure area where they can both play, have fun & not have to worry about anything! thank you again for having us and we will be back again soon! ❤️🥰Jennifer R.

55David's Sniffspot is just what we needed good size yard not difficult to find, and a bucket of fresh water. Since we are temporarily living an apartment life, our Zeus needed a local place, as a Pitbull (to be NewTurd 5/18/23) he gets too distracted by other dogs and we get a better bond while he gets to stretch his legs, great for all all around. We plan to make it a regular spot just for fun! If you need a private Dogpark with few distractions right in town this is it!Daniel M.

55The Spot was just as advertised. The right size for a medium-large pet stretch their legs. It is obvious that the Host recently mowed, too, which tells me that they take their role seriously. We will be back.Craig O.

55We took our 2 large dog’s to David’s and they had a blast running around in his backyard’s VERY large space. The house is easy to find and the instructions for accessing the yard were clear. We really appreciate having such a space right here in Albany. Thanks, David!Anne D.

55Excellent choice for a secure doggy visit. Her fence is very secure! The yard is nice with a shade tree as well. Her gate is a bit tricky but we figured it out.Bonnie G.

55Spot was very clean and the gate was easy to use. My pup had fun and we appreciated the shade from the tree and umbrella for her to cool off and take breaks. There were also some fun toys there for her to play with. The host was very friendly and her directions were easy to follow. We would definitely go again! Ashley P.

FAQ about our Albany 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 Albany 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 67 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 12 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.
