55What a great place to let our pup run!!! We use a one hundred foot lead for him, and this was the perfect place for that! There is nothing to get tangled on and it is such a beautiful spot. Owner was super friendly and answered any questions very promptlyKari L.

55This was our first time using any Sniffspot and it was a great experience!
Clean, shaded, fenced in yard. Lots of signs to point you in the right direction.
Fresh water to drink, toys to play with. The splash pool was out and I think my dog would tell you that was her favorite part. She dove in it multiple times. So, bring a towel if your dog loves water!
We just moved to a place without a yard and Jezzie's Place was a perfect spot for off leash time with my dog.

55Great place! Make sure to bring a towel if the dogs are going on the dock! My pups feet were very muddy!!! Having the 85ft lead was super helpful for one of my pups as he kept trying to go near the road which was busy at the time🙂Trisha H.

55Great spot to let your pup off leash, particularly in the summer when they aren’t allowed a lot of places. It’s not fenced in, and it is near a road, but the road is quiet, and I felt my pup was safe, even though his recall isn’t 100%. My pup loves swimming in the water and rolling in the grass. The host supplied some toys, poop bags, and bug spray, which was fantastic. We will be back.Alexis B.

FAQ About Canaan 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.
