55We had a blast at Bear’s Den! Super clean, lots of space, great toys, all the amenities of a dog park without the usually dog park drama. Dogs were pooped out! Highly recommend. Jen K.

55We had a great time visiting Bear’s Den! The yard is a great size with plenty of room for zoomies and playing. There was plenty of shade in the late afternoon for both people and pups. The hosts left out toys, poop bags, a big water bowl, and a sprinkler for the pups, and they even provided a speaker and a cooler with some drinks for the people. The fence was very secure and we felt completely safe and welcome during our visit. You do hear neighbors and other dogs around the neighborhood, but you cannot see them while in the space. Overall would definitely recommend!Jamie S.

55It was such a nice and quiet area for our pups! Not only did they provide tons of dog toys, but there were treats, a sprinkler, poop bags, water for the dogs, and even nice seating for us! They even brought out a towel for our dogs since we were using the sprinkler! This was my first experience with sniff spot, and our apartment pups LOVED it!!! Trinity C.

55Bear’s Den is enjoyable both for the doggos as well as the humans! Our host had a sprinkler system set up, a doggie pool, towels, toys and snacks out for the dogs. The people got water, a speaker, and a shaded seating area. The space is clean and well-maintained — ready for a day of fun. The area was spacious, and we and our dogs felt safe at Bear’s Den. This was a great first experience with Sniffspot and we’d love to come back to this place again! Elena E.

55Reyna was great! She provided water, bowls, and treats which was really thoughtful. My dog is decently sized (~50 lbs) and there was enough room for her to run. Genevieve G.

55Wonderful! A Sniffspot sign on the gate. Messaged me before our time. Space was clean. It was pouring rain and we were allowed to stay a little over our time! Had a couple of water bottles out for us and fresh water for my puppy. I will come back and I would book this space.Sydney s.

55Great experience! Reyna was very responsive and extremely welcoming. The space is well suited for a great off leash experience. This was our first sniff spot experience, and I have a feeling that we got introduced with one of the best options in Chicago. Will definitely returnNicholas D.

55If I could leave 10 stars I would!! Cholula’s mom is just the most thoughtful SniffSpot hostess you can find! Apollo and I LOVE this spot. Check it out for yourselves! She always goes the extra mile to make your visit a good one. Attentive, flexible, welcoming and just loves our fur babies, you won’t have an experience like this one elsewhere (and I’ve been to many Spots!). 🐶 💕 Chrissy B.

55This was a perfect spot for our first Sniffspot!! The owner was very kind, extremely easy to communicate with, and offered different amenities (ex: agility course, toys). The backyard was well kept and clean. For a beautiful day outside, this Sniffspot made it extra fun. My dog was so excited to play catch and not having a leash to manage made it even better. My dog got tired fairly quickly so we had to take breaks, the backyard had a lawn chair to sit on for me and a bed for my dog to cool down on with the option to be in the shade or under the sun. We had a lot of fun and recommend this spot to others! Kristy S.

55My dog and a friend’s dog had a great time here. There were toys available to play with and some good spots for sniffing for my dog. We didn’t use the agility equipment except one of the dogs learned to go through the tunnel. Kirsten M.

FAQ about our Prospect Heights 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Prospect Heights area are 5 stars.
