55great yard! my dog had a blast. I went in the morning and it was very quiet. It was sunny out but there was plenty of shade for my dog to relax in. There was a bucket of balls and a bowl of water. Very clean. Will definitely visit again.Alisha K.

55The space was as described -clean, safe, room to roam and play fetch for a small or medium sized dog (my dog is still learning the rules of fetch, lol), and a good area to practice recall while off leash. I'm new to sniff spot and it felt a little weird to just walk into someone's backyard but it was a good first experience and we'll come back here again.Danna B.

55This home has a nice sized backyard space that is completely fenced. There's a nice little patio as well! If you're visiting during the summer or a dry month and have a dog with longer hair there are burs and some foxtails here, so I would recommend to check your dog for them every once in a while while you're there and after your visit.Rebecca C.

55Very nicely maintained yard. Scenic and interesting for a dog to hang out in. Fencing is good for most dogs. Not all of the yard is grass so it was not as big as I was expecting but there’s a decent sized part to run in. My dog also liked running through the ivy along one upper part of the fence line.

55Huge private yard, high fences. My dogs had a great time roaming around and sniffing. Great yard to practice recall and fetch without distractions. There are dogs on one side, but makes for good practice for recall. Will definitely use again.Marion D.

55Your own private dog park. Took my pup here a couple of days ago for the first time and had a great time. Finally able to let him off leash and run around in a nice big yard without all the drama of a public dog park. Although it was pouring with rain we had a great time. I'll definitely be booking again.Peter B.

FAQ about our Hickman 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.

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.
