55This was my first sniffspot ever, and I was quite impressed. The hosts provided us with water, toys, treats, and they also took care of the poop I picked up from my dog. They came out to greet us (they seem to be very kind and friendly people) and then let us be. My dog enjoyed the spacious area full of lots of smells and ran around. There was also plenty of shade to rest in. As a last good note, the fence was quite high so my dog could not escape. The only issue I had was that when we first arrived, their dog had escaped into the sniffingspot before we got into the enclosed area. Even so, the hosts took care of the issue promptly and there were no more problems. As I was their first ever guest, I’m certain this won’t be a recurring problem for future ones. I will definitely be frequenting this spot again.Cecelia K.

55Just wanted to mention that in my last review, I had false information in it. Apparently I arrived fairly early without realizing it until much later, so that was why the host’s dog was in the yard. In the end I really have nothing to complain about!Cecelia K.

55We just moved from 2 acres to an apartment while we wait for our new home to be built. My one pup is reactive as can be, plus the "dog park" here is tiny. Sniffspot and Emily to the rescue!! Nestled in a nice suburban neighborhood, just a house with a big square fenced in backyard! Emily has left some toys to toss, in case you forget your own. My guys had a great time running and playing off leash! We will defo be visiting this site again!Kelly C.

55We loved this spot! The fenced area is HUGE! Our dogs absolutely loved it. It’s a great space to practice recall, and more than enough room for a game of fetch. Our dogs had a blast hiding in the tall grass along the fence line. We thought we’d find ticks on them when we checked before we left, but nope! Not a single one! It was also very quiet. Not a single dog was heard while we were there. Highly recommend! Danielle B.

55My two Mini American Shepherds went crazy for this spot. So much open space to play ball and chase each other. It was super clean, and my dogs appreciated the water the host left for them. We will be back soon!Micaela W.

55We absolutely loved our time here! Fun to let the kids run and throw balls with our pup. It was about an hour drive for us and worth it! We paired it with a trip to the park/playground that’s right by the property. Thank you so much! Tara P.

55Perfect spot to let the dogs run around. The fence is intact and the table/chair/dog water and toys were a really nice touch. Plus the property is gorgeous. Tracy C.

55Easy to follow directions for parking and SNIFFSPOT entrance. The SNIFFSPOT was perfect and we really enjoyed our morning. Lots of space, kept well clean and maintained, and shady area with amenities like chairs and water for the dogs. No issues with the fencing and I never worried for my dogs’ safety. There is a park next door(ish) with a walking path so we saw and heard some people and dogs but it didn’t cause us any problems. My dogs were particularly perplexed and amused by the rooster they could hear! I will definitely use again when I’m in town visiting family. Brandy P.

FAQ about our Carlisle 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Carlisle area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 115 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
