55Although the weather wasn't great, the spot is really nice.
If your dog is reactive to other animals I would not recommend as other animals are visible and the dogs bark.
My only complaint would be that it seems people do not pick up after their dogs, had the unpleasant experience in stepping in 2 piles of poo.
Other than that, nice spot especially having the agility equipment.Teri M.

55Thanks so much for letting Summer and I play in your space! An added bonus was being able to come in early due to the weather. We had so much fun with all of your toys, especially your agility course! Many thanks! Melanie S.

55We loved our visit. My dogs loved all the space, different agility things to do, playing near the wood pile. It was so great to be near so many other dogs/animals because they have never had that before. After a few moments of sniffing around they didn’t notice the other animals and went off to play. We can’t wait to be back! Madison P.

55This place is doggy Heaven!! We all had so much fun running around and trying to use the equipment! It feels private because the property is so large, and seeing the horses and other farm life was a bonus for us!Jessica C.

FAQ about our Waterloo 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.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 166 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
