55The property here is a dog’s dream, with four partially shaded acres and a big trough of water to cool off in, but the Powell family is the real treasure. We accidentally showed up on the wrong date, but they were so friendly and accommodating. They were just the nicest people ever, and went above and beyond. We will be returning again and again. Ten stars!Michael S.

55Absolutely wonderful place for Willie to run. He’s 25 pounds so I was worried about him slipping under a fence but they’re completely secure. Libby K.

55This is such a beautiful property, and Rick & Lynn are incredibly gracious hosts. We were amazed at just how large this sniffspot was when we arrived — an hour felt like barely enough to take advantage of all the space! Even though it’s mostly an open area, all the trees and plants growing along the fence line provided ample opportunity for our dog to explore and sniff, and she loved having so much space to run. Most importantly, our dog has a lot of reactivity issues… Rick and Lynn were so patient and understanding with her, which any reactive dog owner knows, means the world. They are clearly very dog-savvy people and I would feel totally comfortable bringing our girl back to this spot. Very grateful for the opportunity to visit, and we hope to be back soon! Angelina N.

55I really, really liked this spot! Upon arrival, Rick met with me to help me get the lay of the land. He was very friendly and courteous and walked me through the amenities available. The property itself was perfect for my needs. The space felt very safe and I didn't have to worry at all about my dogs escaping.
I went on a rainy day and there was a patio umbrella set up, which I didn't use because the big Douglas firs made the perfect canopy to keep dry. There is a horse on the property (behind a fence) that is completely unbothered by big barking dogs, I was told. My dogs were mildly interested in the beginning, but then found other things to do. Overall, I can highly recommend this SniffSpot! I plan to come back regularly. Thanks for letting us use your beautiful property, Rick! Cicely T.

55We had a great time! Excellent, lovely hosts -- Lynn met us when we arrived and made sure we knew where everything was and we chatted with Rick for a bit on the way out. The area was gorgeous... nice and secure with plenty of room for our dogs to explore, sniff, run, and chase squirrels. Can't wait to come back!Missi C.

55If you have a young sporting dog that really needs to run hard for an hour in a safe fenced environment, like my 12 month old lab/golden mi, this place is perfect. The grounds are great...huge trees and large open pasture. Dan H.

55My favorite sniff spot ! Our whole neighborhood crew brought 7 of our dogs today and they had a blast. It’s nice that the whole area is secure and fenced, the grass was soft to play and run for the dogs (the grass at other SniffSpot locations are tall and pokey), and the owners had some lawn chairs out for us which was great. They provided a ton of water, poop bags, garbage bins - it was perfect! They even let one of us feed their horses - it was a fantastic location and we can’t wait to be back! Christine J.

55My Brittany, Tucker, finally had a chance to run free to his heart’s content on this amazing, completely fenced property today. It gave me great joy to see him tearing around with a big smile on his face! I usually keep him on a long line if there is no secure fencing since without it he would just keep on going for miles when in hunting mode. Knowing that running and hunting is at the heart of a Brittany, I’ve always longed to give Tucker his freedom. And now I can! Thank you Rick and Lynn for making this possible. Your warm welcome and kindness while my daughter and I were there were much appreciated.Laurie H.

55Our first sniffspot experience was fantastic! Rick was hospitable and gracious. Beautiful property with 4 acres to roam - my two labs were in absolute heaven. Safely fenced, available water, and even waste bags for use … they thought of everything! Thank you for such a lovely morning… we will definitely return. Renee R.

FAQ about our Dayton dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Dayton?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
How much do Sniffspot dog water parks cost?
Dog water parks in the Dayton area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog water park is Fully Fenced Whittier Heights Yard. The most expensive dog water park is Fully Fenced Whittier Heights Yard. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a dog water park?
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
