55This was great! I didn’t have to worry about my dogs running off. One of my dogs is not necessarily people friendly so it was great to have the space and not worry about her interacting with anyone.Vicki L.

55Clean and prepared as usual. My dog was a bit tired from a busy morning and it was getting hot so we only stayed part of the time. No fault of the host. We appreciated the fresh water!Mary T.

55Great Sniffspot! Description on where to park and where to go were very clear, along with sign out front. Nice open space, with some different areas for my dog to sniff and explore. Toys available (although my dog is blind so can't use them). My husband and I had fun shooting a couple of baskets while there also :) We would definitely come here again.Jill H.

55Nice place...almost perfect😊 The yard was really nice and also mowed. Freshwater was available in a bowl and a pool. There were a couple of places where a small dog could get through but only if they are the width of the fence board 🙃. Someone else had left their pups mess but I picked it up with my dogs mess. The only small complaint I have is that there is no where to dispose of the messes so I had to take them home in the car. Next time (if I remember), I will bring a container that shuts and take it with me each time. It was a really good space and my dog enjoyed it, so yes, I would definitely recommend it and Iwll nook it again.

FAQ About Manitowoc 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.
