55This was just what we needed today- a safe, fenced grassy area for our puppy and the whole family to play for awhile. Host was friendly and gracious and we'll definitely be back again! Lindsay W.

55My greyhound and I had an amazing first visit today. Charissa was kind enough to meet us and bring over her own greyhound to keep my girl company and also another one she was boarding. The area was perfect for my girl’s needs, They kept a bowl of water filled for us. The grass was freshly cut and the ground was level and very clean. I’m so happy to have found this spot and to have met Charissa and especially to discover she has so much greyhound knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend and will definitely use her services in the future. Thanks again, Charissa!Shannon F.

55Great wide, fenced space for even just one dog who wants to decompress. Charissa was very knowledgeable and understanding of our needs for trying a new Sniffspot and potential future training!Kaylee S.

55Charlie and her doodles were great hosts! Her dogs are very well trained but also playful. They were very tolerant of my over-eager 4-m.o. pup, but really they just wanted to RUN! The space is huge and flat, and they're making improvements all the time. There is no lack of toys to play with - seriously a huge variety! - but my pup was more interested in chasing her dogs.
Charlie made it clear that the space comes with it without her dogs, I just need to message her with my expectations. Great visit - so glad we found them!Alan S.

55Beautiful, large, secure yard with lots of extras! Plenty of room for fetch if your pup is into that. My pup is a senior guy & not super playful. We enjoyed lots of sniffs, potty time and lounged in the shade & clover. Super easy parking and access. Communicative and helpful host. Great Sniff Spot! Jennifer M.

55A wonderful space for dogs to run, place, and sniff. The pool was cleaned and filled prior to our arrival. The yard is free from chemicals and pesticides, which is a major plus; a nautical yard is so much better for our dogs, and there was everything I could possibly need for my time there. 10/10 would recommend and I’ll be back again.

55Our reactive dog, River, has become more afraid of the sounds in our apartment neighborhood, kids splashing in the pool, cars zooming by, etc. We’re so thankful this spot was so close to us and so peaceful! River was so happy and relaxed outside and loved the kiddie pool! 10/10 recommend!Milo T.

FAQ about our Louisa 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Louisa 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 132 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 22 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.
