55Great yard! I like to find bigger yards than mine so my 2 big dogs have room to run and get some energy out, this was a great space! Property owner was so sweet and brought water for me and the dogs, and also invited me into their enclosed porch to stay warm. HEATHER V.

55Great doggy play-date location! The yard was easy to find, easy to access, and lots of room for the pups to run and play. The fence was secure and I didn't have to worry about a dog that has been known to scale trees and hope fences while hunting squirrels! We will definitely be back for another play-date soon!Tiffany F.

55We used this visit as a neutral area to meet our new dog sitter for the first time and it went so well! We didn’t hear or see any other people or animals, which is great for my sensitive boys. Easy to find, plenty of room for them to run. So happy with our experience!MB O.

Sara’s yard is beautiful!
It is huge and lots of space to run and explore. It is fully fenced, mostly privacy, and some parts are chain linked but there weren’t any dogs in the neighboring yards when I was there. It is really peaceful and quiet. It is also nice and shady, perfect for a summer day. There are chairs on the patio and chairs at the other end of the yard. Rocky had a great time although over did it in the beginning and twisted his ankle, but he relaxed and enjoyed the cool grass and peace. He was walking soon and just fine.
Sara is easy to communicate with and gave detailed instructions. So great there is a safe space in the city! We will be back!Natalie B.

55I have a toy dog who is reactive, so she has never been able to run leash-free until today! The fence is perfect for small dogs as there are no gaps large enough to fit through. Both of my dogs had a lot of fun- thanks so much :) we will be back! lura m.

55Lovely yard! The fence on one side of the yard is a 4ft fence so if you have a larger breed or a dog that likes to jump fences just keep an eye on them! Otherwise the yard was clean and no holes in the fencing! Thank you so much for letting us use your yard!Courtney S.

FAQ About Buffalo 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. 27% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Buffalo 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 148 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 271 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.
