55Such a great yard! It was private and a good size. Lizi had water, treats, and toys for my dogs which was so nice! My dogs loved it here, we will be back!Danielle N.

55What a great yard! Adorable landscaping, nice shade and sun in a quiet neighborhood. We heard one dog bark in the distance and a neighbor walked through their yard next door but nothing super disruptive. Lots of great toys, klimb platforms, and the host left a board to cover a gap near the gate, otherwise super secure for my small dog! Sara C.

55Perfect spot for my very reactive little mini poodle Buddy. Very quiet, super cute neighborhood. Easy to find. Fence is high, no cracks or “escape routes” (Buddy is an escape artist — if there’s a way out he’ll find it; I felt comfortable letting him roam). Fresh water bowl and treats for Buddy on the outside table; very welcoming for dogs and humans alike! It was a little warm for my little guy so we did not stay long, but I will definitely go back.

55The yard was clean and offered my dog plenty of stimulation! It was great with my reactive dog to have the privacy fence so he couldn't really see what was going on around us! He's a funny guy and doesn't play with toys, but he had plenty to sniff for the time we were there and came home EXHAUSTED. Thanks!Kate N.

55Amazing experience!!! We have a reactive pup and it’s so hard to find places he can enjoy. Neighbors were able to be heard and the humans were tall enough to see them but the dogs couldn’t! The dogs didn’t mind the sounds though, almost adds to the enrichment factor. 10/10 experience for humans and dogs that aren’t very social (: thank you! Lindy H.

Fully fenced 1/4+ acre vacant lot in Tosa | Sniffspot
55Overall, a really good spot! It’s huge and a lot of area for dogs to play! There are a few spots towards the back that a small dog could get through if they wanted to. I have a 20 lb pug for size reference. Only other thing is it is next to the back of an apartment complex. So people are constantly walking in and out, as well with their dogs. One of my dogs is very people reactive but he’s tiny so not a big deal. I dog sit for a very reactive GSD who has a history of jumping fences so I would def not bring him. Overall- it’s a great spot and my dogs had a blast! Audrey S.

55This was my first time using sniff spot. I probably would have felt weird being in a stranger’s yard, but this one’s not attached to a house, so perfect! It’s pretty, too, with trees on the perimeter. Long enough of a lot to throw a chunk-it.
There is a spot where the chain link fence sags. A very jumpy dog could maybe get over, but there’s another empty lot on the other side, so I don’t think they’d want to.Kelly L.

55This is a great spot for any dog that loves to run around. It is well fenced and has an old glider that I loved. Next time I go, I'm going to sit there and read for part of the time while my dog is romping.Anne C.

FAQ about our Wauwatosa 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Wauwatosa 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 191 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 13 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
