55What a great space! Beautiful large yard, secure fencing and very thoughtfully shoveled paths through the yard for us to walk. Our dogs ran non-stop and are fast asleep now. We’ll definitely be back soon! Carla D.

55Nice fenced in and good size property for my dog to run around and be a dog!! Had some trees to hunt wild life too for my coonhound. Like that there is a garbage and fresh water on site. She loved it and will be back! Wish they were closer to us, we’d use them more! Christine V.

55Randa's Sniffspot is a huge open field edged by woods on two sides, private homes on one side, and the road on one side. Our dog had a great time sniffing around the wooded edges and did a lot of running. It took us about 45 minutes to walk around the entire area. Sharon A.

55It was ready when we got there fully fenced in very tall fences and lots of room to run. My dog just loved it. She had a friend there and they chased each other and chased each other. They had a chair, some water set out and doggie bags. It was like a dog Airbnb for an hour :-) Jenny L.

55We went later at night and they have string lights which lit up the area so my two dogs could play. The fence is very secure and high so I didn’t have to worry about my dogs getting away. It was very clean and we will be back! Kate B.

5510/10 Sniffspot! One of my dogs is very reactive and this spot was great. There is a white dog across the street that was outside but I was able to park close enough to the entrance so it wasn’t an issue. There are a lot of dogs walking around the neighborhood as a heads up for fellow reactive dog parents. But we didn’t have any issue. This spot is very spacious and perfect. Host is very nice and so easy to communicate with!!! Will 100000% use again! Audrey S.

55It was so large and spacious that my girls had so much space to sniff and run. They were a little out of shape but I’m hoping the more we visit the more running Penny will do.Ruby O.

FAQ about our Colgate 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Colgate 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 90 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 11 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.
