55Yard was super shady in the late afternoon, perfect for getting the crazies out after having to stay inside during the hottest part of the day! and the owner filled up the pool with fresh water, perfect for a good cool off. Her pups were very sweet too!! 💓🐾Brianna W.

55Very clean, dogs loved it, there were some spots on the fence where it looked like a big dog had dug, but Abby made sure to cover them all since I was bringing small dogs, and they were really secure during their playtime. There where other dogs nearby but none in sight, We humans had a chance to relax and enjoy the sun while the furry ones ran and played! 100% would recomend. Paola C.

55Abby was very accommodating with our dog, Bear. She made sure her dogs were in daycare during our visit and that her cats were away from the windows. Our dog, Bear did enjoy his time at Abby's place and particularly the trampoline.
There's a few spots that he was a little too curious about that if he wasn't being watched he might have gotten himself into trouble-- particularly the front gate, while it shuts and locks, it is not very secure at the ground. It worked well, but if you have a big boy who likes to counter surf, I'd keep an eye on them around the front gate. I also secured the metal grate on the wall out basement window as Bear was really curious about this spot.
Other than those small things the spot was good for him to run around and explore before we went to our training session. Kaitlin C.

55Perfectly peaceful spot. My pup was grateful for all the new to her smells, the clean water and the toys! There was a bit of dog poop around the yard but we booked very (very) last minute in the middle of the day, and it was not a lot or an issue at all! Liz G.

FAQ About Ferndale 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.
