55Well that was a blast! I needed to get my reactive dogs out of the house while a repairman was here. Not only did they have fun sniffing and exploring, now I’m enjoying two very worn out pups. Great, accessible, peaceful space. Thanks Erin! Julia M.

55This was such a perfect experience! Abel is on the older side so he doesn't have has much get up and go as he once did. Erin's place offered the perfect amount of space for him to trot around as he pleased and also relax in the shade! It was nice to not have worries about other dogs or people getting too close and upsetting him. He was the happiest boy!!Monica P.

55I've been waiting for the perfect spot in Bloomington Normal to join Sniffspot and finally my wishes came true. I have a 2 year old husky with a ton of energy. Unfortunately, I don't have a yard for him to play in so our walks are at least an hour long. It was 90 degrees today and he hates the heat so giving him the exercise he needs is difficult. Words can't express how much both me and my dog enjoyed Erin's place. Cozy chairs, trash can, complimentary waste bag, water and Sausages favorite spot - the puppy pool!!! I couldn't be more happy to have found this little slice of heaven a few miles away. We will definitely be back, often!Megan D.

FAQ About Normal 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.
