55Verna’s place was so amazing! She had a water bowl and toys for the dogs, and there was so much room for them to run and explore. They were so tired by the end of the hour! Private and secure entry; no sign of other people or animals. And no worries about dog’s escaping as the perimeter was completely secure! Definitely recommend! Jordan R.

55We had a great time! My dogs loved it. It was well taken care of. My dogs wouldn’t swim, but did wade a little. They really enjoyed sniffing around. My only complaint is the little bridge, on of the logs was loose. Definitely 10/10. We will be back!Tamara B.

55Our dogs had a great time at this spot. Couldn’t keep our water lover out of the pond. Yes there was algae but we know it can be hard to control. Dogs weren’t bothered by it at all. The play yard was clean and spacious. This was our very first Sniffspot visit and we were super satisfied. Thanks!Laurie C.

FAQ About Delaware 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.
