55Colin and Wendy’s sniffspot was awesome! Our pup Luci really enjoyed herself and it was wonderful to have the extra tennis balls and water! Their yard is very well kept and the fence was perfect for Luce to run off leash for as long as her energy would sustain her! Marissa V.

55Super clean, safe, and comfortable!
April had water in the bowls for my dog, as well as a container of extra water.
There was a great amount of space for my 60-lb pitbull to run around. He didn't care much for the agility course (maybe better for dogs smaller than him), but he LOVED chasing balls in this yard.
Some deer sauntered by a safe distance outside the fence, and he got to "chase after them" until he was stymied by the fence. A real treat for him, as usually I'm pulling him back on the leash when we see deer on walks.
Wonderful visit, would definitely come back!Natalie S.

55The yard is a nice, flat space with lots of toys and equipment (my dog loves tunnels so he really enjoyed that!). Some dog poop, but not too bad. There’s a water bowl out with a hose nearby to refill. Overall a nice spot to run my dog!Danielle S.

55My pup loved this space! We haven't done agility training in 2 years and he tried them all and loved it. Loved the mix of shade and sun available. The pool wasn't available and that wasn't posted, but it wasn't hot enough to really use. Celeste B.

55Just as the pictures—clean and private and a lot of space to run around. Getting in/out/keeping the space clean is very easy, the owner even keeps water on site. My dog had a great time!Christina M.

55Absolutely loved this yard! So much to do and my dog had a blast smelling all kinds of plants and things. Fences are great. We could hear dogs inside the house barking but it was short and it was fine. Thank you!Cj O.

55Very nice space. A large covered patio with lots of seating provides shade and protection from unpredictable weather. The host also provided water for my pup, a phone charge, wifi access, and pet waste baggies. Brittany B.

FAQ About Pittsburgh 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. 15% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Pittsburgh 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 186 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 409 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.
