55I had such a wonderful experience using Sniffspot! The space was exactly what I was hoping for—safe, clean, and distraction-free, which made it perfect for letting my dog burn off energy and practice training. My pup had so much fun exploring and running around, and I felt completely comfortable knowing it was a secure environment. It’s such a relief to have a private spot where we don’t have to worry about other dogs or people, and we can just focus on enjoying our time together. I’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend this Sniffspot to any dog owners looking for a safe and enjoyable place for their pets.Charnece H.

55This was a great place to visit. Very clean yard, secure, and private. You hear dogs from other homes across the street but zero visibility. I have a reactive dog and it was a perfect spot for this boy. Rae C.

55This is our most favorite Sniff Spot. With the heat this summer, with communication ahead of time, Travis was kind enough to let us come really early in the morning . So our pups got their exercise in without experiencing heat exhaustion. So grateful for Travis, this land and our friends with whom we get to share it! — Pics are of our pups zonked out after a great play session at Travis’s Sniff Spot! Beth A.

55Wide open space with trees all around - for added privacy. My dogs thoroughly enjoyed their time here. The spot is clean and there are plenty of dog toys (in case you forget to bring from home).Sarah L.

55Great spot for letting dogs run a little! The SniffSpot signs were helpful and getting into/out of the gate was easy. There was even chairs for the humans, toys to borrow, and shade around the sides for cooling off. I’m sure we will visit again!Amber B.

55Great spot as usual. Towards the end of our visit there was a small dog being walked directly along the fence line so if your dog is dog reactive just be careful! Otherwise love this spot! Samantha T.

FAQ About Wake Forest 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.
