55Wow! The property is amazing! The yard is so well kept. They have trails for your dog to explore. They have a gazebo set up for us to escape the bugs in the evening hours. Bins of toys and even a cooler full of cold water for the dogs. Stacy is so kind and great with communication. The area is completely fenced in which i appreciated so much as someone with a reactive dog. A 10/10 location. We can’t wait to book again thank you so much! Tessa P.

55The benefits of a rainy day visit -
1. Cooler temps equals 5 X more Zoomies!
2. Puddles!
3. Soft turf for full-speed fetch!
4. Better chances of extending the visits!
5. A slightly different environment adds more engaging sniffs and exploration!
6. Less human noise such as mowers, motorcycles, etc.
7. Less mosquitoes!Tess V.

55My daughter and I brought our dogs here and it was a beautiful place for them to roam around and play off-leash. We don't have fenced yards, so this was amazing and we plan to meet there again soon. It was much larger than I had expected with many pathways and trees. We really appreciated all the signs with clear instructions, along with the fresh water and all the other amenities, like different places for us to sit and visit while the dogs played together. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome green space!Lisa K.

55We love it here! There’s always cold water for the dogs and our dogs love all of the space to run. There’s also a straight path for us to throw the ball for our lab which is perfect.Jillian S.

55This place is truly a sanctuary!
It’s what every dog deserves and this family has given it to us since my dog is so reactive to other dogs . There are no words that I could ever express my gratitude.💓💓Pauline E.

55Love this spot! It’s great for a dog with general anxiety and a fear of all things! It’s nice and quiet for my noise sensitive dog. It has the perfect mix of trees, shade and sunny areas and lots of smells for a safe secure sniffari to relax and tire him out! Plan ahead if you want to book this spot because it is very popular amongst us with reactive dogs. Karen O.

55It was a beautiful setting with grown trees, walking areas, and an open area to throw toys in.
Seating for owners to take a break and let their dogs sniff, toys and water for the dogs.
Along with poop bags and a trash bin.
Our dog loved all the space and smells, it's definitely worth the trip.James R.

55There are many things to love about this place. 3 acres (which is a great sized) fully fenced with stable chain link fencing. There are open spaces and shaded spaces, along with trails, so there are options especially when it's sunny and hot outside. Having water available is a huge plus and there are toys, also. Another benefit is having seating for the humans. Kris M.

55This was our second time visiting this location. My husky mix absolutely loves it here and is still worn out from his fun two days later - that is a true sign of a successful outing in my eyes :) We will definitely keep coming back here.Meg L.

55We love, love, love this Sniffspot so so much! Our 3 dogs always have the best time there and Gary and Stacy do such a fantastic job keeping everything in tip top shape. It's always super clean and safe, and there's always clean water available and extra poop bags if you need them. We always bring some, but it's nice in case we run out. They even have a rooster somewhere that you can hear announcing his presence when we arrive it when we are leaving, which I think is hilarious. We feel so fortunate to have found such a wonderful place such as this just 20 minutes from home where our dogs can run and play off leash and explore a little partially wooded area safely. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us! We'll be back soon! Rexy, Skye, and Lotte wouldn't have it any other way. Heidi B.

55This is a perfect place to bring my dog. It looks like people have been better at picking up their dog poop.
I really appreciate the bug spray and freshwater. Beautiful piece of property.

55I was passing through town and this sniff spot could not have been any more perfect - I will remember it for future trips! I found everything as described and the access directions were easy to follow. One of my dogs is reactive to unaltered males, which makes community dog parks difficult. I've just had him for a year, and seeing him at Gary/Stacy's sniff spot was the first time I think I've gotten to see him really let loose and get goofy. It was a little slice of heaven for both of my dogs and me. Thank you for sharing your space!Britta A.

FAQ About Dayton 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?

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Dayton 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 240 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
