55This was our first SniffSpot and could not be happier with this location! Well fenced yard with no weak areas, flat grassy area for our Winnie to run and explore. A bowl of water, toys, wipes, waste bags, a treat and a personalized welcome sign were unexpected extras that gave a personal touch. Easy access to the yard and convenient safe parking were appreciated! We would highly recommend and definitely go back! Thank you for a great experience! Kim C.

55Spot was very clean, spacious and flat which my dogs loved for running around and sniffing! A nice big bowl of clean water and toys were left out as well as cutest little sign and treats left at the gate. Definitely worth the drive and I will be back. Side note, if you have a reactive dog, probably not the best spot. It's in a very quiet but busy neighborhood with people and dogs walking by, children playing Etc.Victoria F.

55The host was amazing! Communication was quick and friendly, and they went above and beyond to make the visit great for my dogs. Everything was set up before we arrived so the dogs could start playing right away, and as a sweet bonus, they even sent us home with fresh tomatoes from their garden. Highly recommend—will definitely be back!

55Margot thoroughly enjoyed her time here! Since we recently brought a new rescue into our home, she craved some one-on-one dada time, and this place was an ideal spot for her. It was peaceful and private. Katy was incredibly kind by leaving out all the essentials, such as water and treats. Thank you so much!Isabelle O.

55Kelly’s yard to great! One of our dogs doesn’t get along with other dogs, and we never have an issue with other dogs being visible from the yard. Will return again! Paul H.

55First time using sniff spot and this was a great experience! :)
Very well written instructions and sign made it very easy to know where we needed to go! The yard is also very spacious and clean. There was no concern of my dog getting out, or him getting into something he shouldn't.
Definitely would come again :) Avery J.

FAQ About Wallingford 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. 9% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Wallingford 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 335 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 683 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.
