55As beautiful and pleasant as my previous visit. Quiet, no distractions and thoughtful amenities (poop bags, fetch toys, fresh water). Of course, my dog gets excited as soon as we slow down in front of the establishment. Always a fun and stress-free time.

55If you can afford the $20/hr fee its a wonderfully kept, safe and clean area to let your dog(s) roam. Several sitting areas for humans and you're able to view the entire fenced in area from the picnic table at the top of the property. This is nice if you want to let your dog roam and enjoy a coffee for a few minutes. Double gated entry helps to keep you in control of your pet going in and out. FRESH water bucket, waste basket and several balls available which is extra nice. There is a waiver to sign awaiting you on the picnic table. That doesn't bother me. There is a small pond that has its own entrance - I am not sure if that is available to the animals once the weather warms up and it is cleared of the inevitable fall and winter debris. Nice spot for ball throwing. There are a couple of agility areas to work your dog if that suits you. Overall, it was a very pleasant and relaxing experience. I would certainly go again. I would not be able to go as much as I'd like due to the fee but it's worth a special trip every couple weeks (for my budget).

55We brought Margot here for the first time today with her brother and it was so special! Margot is reactive due to her past and she was so at peace in this sniffspot with no other dogs or people to worry about! I can’t thank Vicky enough for offering a safe space like this for reactive dog parents! Also it’s immaculately clean which I appreciated so much.

55This is THEEEE best sniffspot ever! Lou was like a kid in a candy store and it was so quiet and peaceful! He was completely exhausted from sniffing by the time we left. So many rocks and things to explore which he loved. Thanks so much for sharing your space! We live 40 min away but we will for sure be back because it’s that good! ❤️

FAQ About Bethlehem 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. 10% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Bethlehem 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 225 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 555 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
