55Nice fields - nice access to a river. A horse in the nearby field enjoyed watching my dogs train. We were traveling in the area and stopped in for a couple hours of retriever training. I had some good concepts to work on such as running 4 different slot blinds between some trees. Martha W.

55Awesome spot! My dogs Ollie and Theo loved exploring the wooded area and jumping in the creek even though it was 30 degrees outside. Can’t wait to come back during the summertime! Lauren G.

FAQ About Lockbourne 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.
