55This spot is great! My dog had plenty of yard to roam, and loved jumping in the pool. The host left us water, toys, poop bags, and even bug spray!Loren V.

55First, the host is so responsive to all questions before arriving.
The spot is awesome! We rented the pool as well, and the dogs had a blast!!! The host has lots of seating available and left cold waters for the humans and pool toys for the dogs! How thoughtful!! The rest of the property, which is huge, btw, was great for the dogs to run around...so many different areas for them to chase one another! I can't say enough about what a great space this is to chill with your dogs. It is truly a treasure to have access to such a lovely property to take your dogs!!!Roberta-Anne S.

55Bill and his wife were wonderful hosts! The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and their backyard is beautiful in a very safe, quiet neighborhood. The yard and pool are both secured and fully fenced, which gave me peace of mind since my dog is quite the escape artist 🙃. The thoughtful touches—like cold water bottles and other unexpected essentials—were greatly appreciated. We didn’t use the pool, but it looked spotless and very well maintained. Our pup had the best time and a huge smile the whole visit! Don’t hesitate to book this property for your next gathering—or, like us, for Blue’s birthday party :)Janice T.

55This was a phenomenal experience! We enjoyed swimming in the pool with the dogs, while they also ran around and played with toys that were provided by the host. The fence is secure and there were both sunny and shaded areas to the yard. Would definitely love to book again! Veronica M.

55My husband and I have been looking for ways to exercise our 3 high energy sporting dogs in the heat, so when I saw a tiktok about this sniffspot only a few towns away I knew we had to sign up! Our water loving boys enjoyed every minute and every inch of the property. They didn’t get too hot because they could just hop in the pool as needed! One of our dogs swam almost the whole time, the other two were in and out - it was the perfect blend for our crew! The property is immaculate and the host left out clean water for dogs and humans, yard toys and pool toys- what a treat! Annie S.

FAQ About Shelton 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.
