55Had an awesome visit today. Walked through the wooded paths (love the signs helping to mark the way) and hung out with the chickens, goat and horse in the fenced paddock. That horse is a saint. 🤣 Wonderful spot. Leslie O.

55Great little spot, perfect if your dog is unusually obsessed with horses like mine is. Most of the paddock is fenced with just rope, so she spent 99% of her time begging me to let her off leash so she could evolve into her true self and begin her life as a horse. Will be returning to indulge my dog in her horse girl fantasies. Corinna M.

55The host was available and the fenced in area was very well maintained. It's bordered by a horse pasture and goat/chicken pen. Our dogs had a great time once we got them acclimated to the excitement of the new animals. Very enjoyable stop.Kian K.

55I had a really good time with my Boston Terrier puppy! It was a clean, easy to get to area with very clear instructions. We played, watched the animals, and ate treats.
The fence was secure with no gaps that my 12 lb dog could fit through.
I will definitely come back with my older dogs too!Adam S.

FAQ About Sterling 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. 7% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sterling 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 405 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 710 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.
