55Saulo’s sniff spot was very clean and accommodating for a high energy/reactive pup! The yard is fully fenced in, has an obstacle course, plenty of yard to sniff around, and even a tethered ball to a tree branch for pups to chase/ play with. Saulo was a great communicator and host. Toys, water, and poop bags were available for us to use as wellNATALIE H.

55This backyard was great! My two dogs had an awesome time, they were definitely stimulated the whole time with the amenities in the yard. The agility course had one of my dogs attention and the ball on a rope from the tree had my other dogs attention. Katherine N.

55HUGE backyard! Absolutely loved it. Lots of room to throw balls. Provided everything we needed (toys, balls, rope, ball rope from tree, water bowl, bubbles, bags for waste). It was also nice how it’s partly shaded and partly in the sun. Had places for us to sit as well. Definitely one of my dogs favorites! Sharon N.

55This backyard has become my doggos favorite place. They know when we’re getting close. Also with the heat, they have a gazebo and put a dog bed in there for us to cool down. Appreciate the extra mile! 💕Sharon N.

55Great yard! In a safe neighborhood, ample street parking, easy access to the backyard, and so much more! There are two main parts of the backyard: a large grassy area when you enter and a very large more wooded area further in the back. Lots of trees for shade, plants for sniffing, some agility equipment, toys, water and bowl, chair, etc. The entire yard was clean and maintained. I plan to visit this Sniffspot again to tire out my puppy!Jennifer M.

55Perfect spot to get zoomies out and sniff all over! Hosts allowed access to their covered gazebo on the deck with a ceiling fan which was nice to cool off in. Host provided fresh water, a water bowl, toys, towels and bags for your pup. Super easy entrance and no other dogs on either sides of the fence (super nice for my reactive boys). Thanks for giving us a place to play! -Tyson & WalkerKarrington F.

55Amazing sniff spot!! Spacious and had toys, agility equipment, water, and poop bags available. We did the socialization add-on for our 7 month old puppy and she had a blast playing. There are no neighbor dogs or people that we can see through the fence. We will definitely be back!! Shane Ann L.

55Our first Sniffspot experience and we had so much fun! Nice, roomy yard and set up so you can play hide and seek if your dog likes that. A bowl of fresh water was provided, a nice chair for me, and a variety of dog toys. There will be shade from a neighbor's tree once the leaves are out. Very good experience!Tamara S.

55I had a GREAT experience with this Sniffspot! The host was super communicative, I felt confident bringing my “reactive” dog to play. There was a chair and bowl of water set up under an umbrella, along with some dog treats. Something I liked about this yard was that it was a big wide space and clutter free, so it was easy for my dog to run and chase a ball. I’ll definitely bring my dog back here again, and recommend this spot to anyone else. The only thing to know is there is a gap by the gate and one more in the back, but they’re TINY - not an issue for the average dog, the size is something only a rabbit could fit through.Heather B.

FAQ about our Poplar Branch 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Poplar Branch 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 148 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 7 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.
