55Kristin’s spot is a little off the beaten path, but that’s exactly what we were looking for. We wanted to let our city dog get some fresh air and run around in a safe, outdoor environment on her birthday. Kristin’s yard is spacious, clean, and very well-maintained. She also has several dogs of her own, and she’s very happy to let one/some of them play with your dog - but only if you want. Kristin is very friendly and was also very helpful by doing things like bringing out water, interacting with our dog and taking pictures. Last, but certainly not least, her yard is very scenic, with animals and trees nearby, with great views of the expansive sky. The experience turned out better than we could have hoped for.Marianne S.

55Our pups had an amazing time swimming and running around exploring. It was enjoyable for the adults as well as we relaxed under a shady tree. Linda and Kenne were also wonderful accommodating hosts. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have this as an outlet in our area for our dogs. We can’t wait to go back! Sarah G.

55Absolutely visit this spot! My friend drove 40 minutes and I 20 to get here and it was worth every minute. We brought 6 dogs and they all had a blast playing in the field and the water. There were toys to play with and fresh water all over. We will be back as much as possible! And it’s all for a great cause! Kristen S.

55Second visit and just as great as the first. Life jackets were available for the pups who needed a little extra security swimming and fresh water was plenty! Our pups really enjoy the trail behind the pond and all the sniff spots on this 5 acre space! The adults enjoyed the shade by the pond to watch! Sarah G.

55This sniff spot does not disappoint!
I brought my 3 pups, all
With very different play likes/levels for the first time yesterday and they were all happy.
It’s a beautiful piece of property with a darling little pond, dock and partial loop around it. The hosts have thought of every detail for us pet parents too giving us lots of shady places to sit and ice cold water to name a few. Hands down though I must say my favorite part was the wash station! It’s just the right height so no bending over backaches, towels and doggie shampoo are also provided! What a great idea for after pond swimming, plus it’s one less thing I have to do when I get home.
Thank you Linda and Kenne for letting us use your amazing space to get all the pup wiggles out.StephanieAnne H.

55I was excited to bring Jersey here and it did not disappoint. I have another water doggy but she a bit scared to jump off the pier and will “hop” into the pond from the side. Lost of room to play fetch and run. The bathing station was awesome along with feeding the fish! Antoinette (.

55One of the best Sniffspots I’ve been too! Such nice hosts who genuinely wanted to know if there was anything they could do or offer to improve the space and experience and I couldn’t think of anything because it had all we needed! Fresh water door the dogs to drink, fully fenced, dog toys, plenty of space for them to run. My 9 year old daughter liked it so much she wants new to book it again just for her lol. Next time I’m booking more time or bringing the dogs separately so they have more time, we did an hour which I split between the two but quickly realized we could spend half the day there easily. So if you’re on the fence about trying a new spot, this is your sign to book! Gi G.

55Simply amazing! A great host, a great space, and all for a great cause. Linda was so kind and met us before and after our reserved time. The space is mowed nicely to where you can see some trails but there was still some tall grass for the pup to play in. The two ponds were a hit with my water dog! Tons of seating options around the property to include a few benches and then chairs near the pond. Literally everything you can think of is provided- life jackets, tons of toys to include toys that float in the water, fresh water around the property for the dog, a cooler with ice cold water for the humans, big spray and wipes, and even fish food if you feel inclined to feed the fish. Oh and don’t forget the dog wash station. We had a blast and we will definitely be back!Ashley M.

FAQ about our Ivanhoe 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. 88% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ivanhoe 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 41 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 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.
