55Amazing spot! Huge beautiful property with lots of sniffs for the dogs! You can easily tell where the perimeter is as youre walking around. We had two shepherd mixes that enjoyed running free, but we brought long lines just in case we needed them and used them as we walked closer to the road. We will be back!! Sarah K.

55This was our first time visiting this Sniffspot. Our 5-month old puppy had a great time! Lots of sniffing and exploring. We put her on a 30-ft long line since she did not have a solid recall yet. Leslie was kind. She greeted us and made sure we had a good time. Will come back here again! Yihan S.

55Our puppy is still learning her recall so she isn't ready for the dog park yet, this space was perfect and big enough for her to explore and play! She loved the toys there as well. We’ll be back!Kennedy K.

55Leslie was very kind, communicative, and welcoming. The land was a very nice mix of manicured and wild. My GSP loved the tall grass, plentiful critters, and smells galore - I loved being able to walk and walk. We will be back. Ashley N.

55Such a wonderful property! Plenty of space for the pups to explore and sniff around, includes more open and then more shaded and wooded areas. We saw few deer and bunch of migrating birds. Adrianna T.

55Such a great spot!! My dog didn’t stop sniffing and exploring the whole time we were there. Great trails for walking and having fresh water at the end was great. We will definitely be back. Just a note, it seems like a great spot to pick up ticks. We didn’t find any today, but make sure you and your dog are ready for them. Ron S.

55Excellent, large, and secure backyard. There are dog toys already there, so if your pup likes novel places to sniff and play in--this is ideal. Also, a very sweet family.Nancy W.

55What an amazing first experience! The host was super responsive. The yard is beyond fantastic. Lots of green grass, shaded spots, and toys. Our sensitive puppy played so hard and was soooo excited to run off-leash. We didn't see or hear another dog the entire time. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK! Charis M.

55Owner was very friendly and it was easy to understand where to park, the property boundaries, etc. Very nice spot for trained dogs to be off leash. My older dog has lost her tolerance for meeting new dogs so this was a great safe space for her. Plenty of room for my younger dog to run around and get tired, not too much room for an older dog to still make it around the property a time or two. Madelaine O.

55This is a great spot for dogs to run and explore. There's so much for dogs to interact with around the property; scents, objects, platforms, different terrains, it's a sensory wonderland for dogs!
We saw one dog 100+ ft away on a neighboring property but was no issue to avoid by simply going the other direction. I didn't explore the entire area because I was worried about accidentally wandering off property but my dogs had a blast in the parts we did explore. Lillian I.

55This is a fantastic sniff spot! The host was super responsive and followed our request to not greet us and our reactive pup. We saw a runner and their dog go by on the main road, but that road doesn't seem highly trafficked and it would be easy to keep the road out of view. There were many smells for our dog to investigate and plenty of open space to play some fetch or sit in the sun.Emily B.

55Dogs were very engaged in sniffing on this property and had a good time. We did see an off-leash dog far away on the west side (more than 50ft away) on a neighboring property and a lot of deer. We kept our dogs on long lines as they don't have reliable recall yet. Tyacie C.

FAQ About Ann Arbor 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.
