557:30 a.m. Suday 8/18. Horses were out in the pasture next door and came up to the fence to see us. They had no fear of my dogs who had never seen horses before and were acting crazy. They were growling, barking, and jumping until I put on their leashes and made them sit while I petted the horses. It was a great lesson for the dogs, and both horses were so affectionate with me. I loved they wanted my attention even though it made me miss the horses I once had. Made my day even better.

55What a wonderful place! We took our 6 dogs for a playdate and we all had a ball! The host provided 2 pools for them to cool off and water bottles for our hand to stay cool and hydrated. Will be returning again often and soon. Place is secure, clean and shaded. Celia R.

55We loved this spot! This was our first time trying a sniffspot and we couldn't be happier. The owner responded quickly and answered our questions. Perfect for our large dogs to run free. Not one spot of dog poo to be found : )

55My dogs had a blast! They sniffed and sniffed till they couldn’t sniff anymore. I have a Aussie border collie mix and a Lab mix both high energy. My one dog is dog reactive so it’s hard for us to go places. This was a perfect place for them to be off leash to run, play, and sniff. My Aussie was very curious of the horses. It was clean and water was available. They only lasted 30 minutes. We will definitely be back. Perfect enrichment day! Ashlyn W.

FAQ about our Lady Lake 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.
