55My dog and I had a great experience! I appreciated being accommodated fairly last minute. It was a nice long yard perfect to play fetch and there were lots of good sniff spots. There were balls and a trash bin ready for us. Thanks again!Courtney C.

55Nice big property for safely exploring. Charlie and Lizzy loved roaming around and sniffing, especially Charlie aka Mr. Energy. It was cold so the chickens were inside the coop where the dogs couldn't see them, but Charlie still found them fascinating. Not sure how they felt about him, but they're apparently used to dogs.Virginia V.

55It's a large yard with great space to throw the ball long distance, yes there are chickens as described but they seem very used to having dogs around. My dogs loved this yard, they enjoyed exploring and sniffing all the different smells. Laryssa A.

55Emily is attentive, quick to respond and happy to hear how to make your visit a great one. Her yard is rustic enough so my Apollo didn’t have to gently tiptoe thru her tulips, but still beautiful for humans to enjoy. Note! She clearly describes her other animals present in the space, and for curious canines it can make for an animated visit! It didn’t stop us from enjoying this wonderful backyard. We will be back, and soon! Chrissy B.

55This is my new favorite spot!!! My dogs absolutely LOVED exploring this big, gorgeous backyard. They barely even wanted to play with the toys I brought because they were having so much fun taking in all of the new sniffs! I personally enjoyed the many beautiful trees (and shade); it helped keep us cool on the humid day. The homeowner was so helpful and responsive and accessing the yard was super easy. 11/10 recommend and we will definitely be back soon!!Jen M.

55The property has a secure fence and plenty of shade. Most of the yard is grass but along the fence rows there is vegetation that made for some interesting sniffing. Our pups were fascinated by the chickens and had a great time running and exploring. Jessica F.

55Awesome backyard! It’s fully fenced and she had a water bowl out for our pup. The owner also lent us a ~30 ft leash so we could walk our pup in the field. Highly recommend. Michelle M.

FAQ About Arlington Heights 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.

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.
