55Lily absolutely loved it! There was a ton of space and lots to sniff. We mostly stayed in the wooded area to avoid the chickens because I didn’t want her harassing them. We saw several dogs in the neighboring yards and they made some noise in the beginning but after a few minutes it was relatively quiet not that Lily minded at all. She ran around the trees full speed like it was an obstacle course. We will definitely be back! Stopped at Starbucks nearby for a pup cup and now she is pooped. Great first experience using this app!Alicia S.

55This Sniffspot is amazing, so many things and areas to keep two very active dogs interested! It was fun to see both dogs not quite sure what to make of the chickens, exploring the pumpkins, the mud puddle and the woods. Definitely a place to return to!!Carol H.

55This sniff spot was wonderful! The newly fenced field and wooded area gave my pups everything they could want. The dogs loved sniffing and exploring all parts of the property. They even met the chickens and found a mud puddle. They were so tired from their experience they couldn’t last the whole hour. They have been exhausted all day. Jesse and his family and dog joined us for a bit as well. Great meeting them. Highly recommend!!Carol H.

55There are two fenced options for your pups, I choose the fenced 4 acre field. Half of it is open grass & half is woodsy, great for open play & hide and seek! Fence is secure & perfect for what my pittie needed. There are chickens in the field area, but they are off to the side in a pen so my dog was able to overlook them. Highly recommend/would rebook again!Angelli L.

55Our dog had a great time at this awesome Sniffspot. We will definitely be back! June is an 8 year old hound who enjoys wandering at her own slow sniffy pace. With acres of fenced field AND woods she was the in her element. Michelle P.

55This place is awesome! My dog loved the mud after rain recently and admittedly so did I! So much space and my dog could sniff around. Hope to be back as this is easy and close to do on my lunch hour. Aida S.

55Reese enjoyed running around the field and playing ball. We moved to the yard because she was more interested in the chickens than she was playing ball. There were areas that were muddy and she also found a puddle to play in so we had to go for a bath afterwards. She still had a blast with all the room to run. Thank you for sharing your space!

FAQ About Dover 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 5% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Dover 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 295 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
