55What a great spot to take your pup. My girl was hesitant about the pool but it wasn’t hot today. I think she’ll be more receptive when she wants to cool off because she likes to swim. I threw a ball for her instead and she got plenty of exercise! So fun. Thanks for the memories.Connie W.

55The backyard oasis is a wonderful spot to bring your pups! With a great canopy for sun coverage, and a large pool for your pups to swim in. The backyard is large enough for the dogs to sniff around and roam. We can’t wait to book again soon!!Madison M.

55Yard was fantastic - I brought 2 dogs from a rescue I volunteer with that can be a little reactive or harder for people to handle (so they don't get field trips as often). They had such a fun time exploring and smelling - they waited until the last second to realize there was "room for activities" :P Will definitely be back in the future!Krystin E.

FAQ about our Fort Lauderdale 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?
