55We were blown away with the generosity of this Sniffspot Location! There were toys, treats, poop bags, towels, bug spray, anything you could need for a dog pool party! Large fenced in backyard for the dogs to run around too. There were so many little thoughtful details provided by the host. Thank you for a great pool party <3 :) Lauren B.

55The boys had a blast! Spacious, clean, and well-equipped(toys, water bowls, seating for humans, and garbage/poop bin provided). Lots of area for them to run around.
Only thing to note with the warming weather were the mosquitoes, they were ruthless. Each human left with a few bites even though we brought bug repellent, citronella candle, and mosquito coils. Janice C.

55had a lovely visit! big property, lots of room for your dog to play and explore! My dog loves exploring in the long grass at the bottom of the yard. Fencing was secure. We also messed up our time and Sheila was super accommodating. There were lots of toys to play with as well. We will definitely be back!
Make sure you do a thorough tick check when you leave though as I did find a tick on my dog :) Sarah N.

55This was our first ever Sniffspot experience and it was amazing! Sheila’s place was the perfect fit for our boys. The properly had lots for them to explore and tons of open space to get a good run in. They both really enjoyed the taller grassy areas as well and loved the curved path cut through it - seemed to enjoy taking the turns at full speed! Lol
One note is that there were a couple dogs, one you could hear barking and one you could see out walking with the neighbour briefly. For us our dogs seemed too busy to bother which was great because they can be reactive at times. Just thought to mention it incase others have reactive dogs, but it did not deter from the visit at all! ☺️
The fall leaves were an added bonus. We’ll definitely be back soon!
Ocean and Maui says thanks too. Diane C.

FAQ About Haydon 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. 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. 6% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Haydon 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 199 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 257 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
