55Such a great time. They even put a fan on the patio for us to use. I’m able to sit, relax and have full confidence the dogs are safe and having fun. Jessica F.

55Ok so, in normal context, calling someone's backyard a HIDDEN GEM is probably a weird thing to say.. But, this place seriously is a hidden gem for anyone (or any dog) looking for a personal dog park in Salem! There are so many toys and agility things and tons of other interesting things that will make the hour pass very quickly, and very enjoyably!
We have never used Sniffspot before today, but I work across the street and often bring my dogs along. They were full of energy this morning, so I finally decided to check this place out. I am so impressed and thankful that a place like this exists to bring my puppies to on my lunch break. Ayla M.

55This is our favorite Sniffspot so far! We loved how big it is for fetch and the little bit of woods for exploring. Very clean and well manicured lawn. Thank you we will visit again!Mark C.

55Great space. My dog really enjoyed the wooded areas and playing fetch. He wasn’t interested in the agility equipment but it was a great opportunity to explore it with no pressure . It’s a little far for us but if we venture up that way again and he settles a bit, I’d love to explore the scent options more.Lori H.

55We always have a great time here. Fence is super secure (one of our dogs considers herself an expert in escaping, but she’s never found a weak spot). Yard is spotless and seating is comfortableJessica F.

55Fully fenced and escape proof for my 2 boys! The wooded areas are a huge bonus and my boys loved exploring out there. Host has toys for sale and lots of extras for free. Even bug spray, towels, kiddie pool, hose and more. We will definitely be back - regularly! Andrea W.

55This is mine and Kash's favorite spot! We both love coming here to have fun, enjoy the weather, and just relax. Kash already knows what’s behind the closet doors. I was ready to leave, but he wasn’t about to go without his prize toy!Ashley C.

55Brought our 2 dogs and they had a great time checking out both the grassy area and all the wooded area. Plenty of toys/agility materials available, our dogs just preferred running around sniffing everything.Meaghan C.

FAQ About Salem 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.
