55This "spot" is wonderful! Not only is it a beautiful property but Stephanie provides everything you need for a good visit - toys, water, sunshine/shade, a place to sit and space for your dog to run and play. Stephanie is a wonderful host, paying attention to even the smallest details. I highly recommend this Sniffspot!! This was my second visit but for some reason I was unable to leave a recommendation after my first visit. Emma and I will be visiting Gunther's Run many more times. John J.

55First time Sniffspot user and this place set the bar for us. Stephanie personally met us to briefly show us her beautiful place. Convenient parking, trees for shade, furnished sitting area, water source, fencing in perfect condition with latched gate access by parking. All of that AND an acre of maintained grass yard to roam and run! She has two dogs but we never saw or heard them. We look forward to more playdates here!Yvonne R.

FAQ About Staunton 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. 16% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Staunton 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 44 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 144 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.
