55We loved the spot! Emily did an awesome job as a host. She even offered us towels and gave us a warning before bringing them out.
The two dogs I took LOVED the backyard. They had plenty of room to run around and play tug of fetch. They had a lot of fun exploring the trails around the bushes and really enjoyed the kiddy pool. I think our dogs really liked the deck since they kept going up there no matter what we did 🤦🏻♀️ We will definitely be coming back! I enjoyed lounging in the hammock, which had a perfect view of most the backyard.Destiny B.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot & it was awesome! We’re on a cross country trip and our pup loved the opportunity to run around and explore. Emily was so accommodating and thoughtful. Lots of toys, treats, puzzles and even a towel to wipe his paws. We especially loved the dog customs photo props :)Melissa S.

55We have been to this sniff spot several times now and it is a great space! This time there were neighbors’ dogs barking on both sides (no fault of this sniff spot owner!). It luckily gave us a great training opportunity but we had to cut our time a bit short since my reactive dog was getting a bit overwhelmed. The spot still gets 5 starts from us because we still had fun getting some energy out after all of the recent cold days. Megan L.

55Our Sophie had a great visit. We asked if the hostess would bring out her dog to play, and both dogs had a great time. There were toys, costumes, a tunnel, and a water bowl for the dogs. The yard was nice size for running and it wasn't all flat so there was running up and down. I highly recommend Common Scents sniff spot. We certainly will be back.Kim H.

55Andrea’s yard is beautiful and very well kept! Our dog loved getting to run free and sniff. There were lots of toys left out, an ice water dog bowl (which was a huge hit) and water bottles for the humans. We will definitely be coming back and couldn’t have had a better experience! Emily T.

FAQ about our Manhattan 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. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Manhattan 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 19 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
