55Beautiful place!! Our dogs really enjoyed their time playing here. Very clean, well secured, and there was fresh water for the dogs. We had two very tired Aussies by time we left. The host is very kind - we can’t wait to come back.

55Jennifer was wonderful! Her communication was great, she even came out and met my pup. The spot was clean, they made a good use of space, the equipment is perfectly placed so it doesn’t feel crowded. Jennifer also left out clean water bowl for us. Would definitely recommend this location! Rebecca F.

55We had a great outing, a little overwhelming for the pup.. his first visit. The yard is well groomed. The obstacle equipment is in great shape. There’s room to run around as well as to play on the equipment. The fencing is heavy duty and the latching system is great. The yard is in a open area so it was sunny. We had a great trip and are looking forward to returning soon.Sharon B.

55Jennifer's space is an absolute delight. There's a great agility course for your active, athletic pup in a super clean, well kept, and beautifully fenced yard. Chairs for humans, shade, and water for your dog. The price is very reasonable, too. Visit this gem in Athens, NY, your dog will thank you!Peg T.

FAQ About Athens 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.
