55It is so kind to let your property be a reprieve for dogs who don’t get to run much. I thought I might need to cancel yesterday, but couldn’t find the place to do so. I had double-booked a medical appt over dog plans. The space and beautiful fence is to die for. My dogs are loving SniffSpot.Thank you and what you do for dogs.Kathy B.

55What a perfect escape for a city dog! My German Shepherd loved the big yard. She was a bit skittish of the pool, which I expected, but I was happy to have the opportunity to try to introduce her to the water.Jonathan K.

55This was the best! We brought our two golden retrievers. One who spent most of the time in the pool and the other sniffing around the yard. Best of both worlds. Very clear directions for where everything is, where to park etc. Will definitely be back!Elspeth D.

55The pool was super warm even though it had been chilly the last few nights. The stairs were really nice and shallow and not too slippery so my dog was able to swim (he is too scared to get in pools with slippery stairs). It was so nice to get to let him swim, and the yard is so large and fenced in that my other dog had the best time doing his favorite activity (sniffing everything). Charity P.

FAQ About Waterford 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. 3% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Waterford 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 478 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 736 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.
