55The area was well maintained and had so many different things for the dogs to do! There were people walking/biking by on the trail, but even with a pretty reactive dog, the fence had us feeling secure. The hosts thought of everything! It was a great experience, and we will definitely be back!Spenser B.

55It's clear that the homeowners put a lot of thought and care into building and maintaining this yard! My dog had a blast climbing and rolling in leaves. The effort behind this setup certainly didn't go to waste 😁Xander S.

55This was our first time to a Sniffspot. It looked like the perfect place to start and it was. We have a 3 year old German Shepherd who is quite reactive. She loved being off lease and able to check everything out. The pool was her favorite! Thank you for the amazing spot. We we definitely be back!Beth S.

55It was wonderful! The host was very kind, he filled the doggy pool before we arrived so the water was fresh on a hot day. He even messaged me ahead of time letting me know in case I didn't want my dog getting wet. He also provided a towel, which was appreciated since I forget one a lot. It was very clean and the equipment was well taken care of! Tessa R.

55Such a fun and engaging spot! The obstacles are well thought out and absolutely helped our pups build confidence! One of our huskies was scared to cross the bridge obstacle when we arrived but by the time we left, was going back and forth over it like a pro! We will definitely be back! Jordan M.

55We took our 2 fur grand babies here on a recommendation from our daughter from Florida and couldn’t be happier! Neither of our dogs (a German shepherd and a dachshund) had been to a sniffspot before so we went with some reservations about how they would do! Michael’s spot has set a high bar for future spots. To our surprise, a little dachshund mastered the majority of the obstacle course first but with a lot of encouragement (and snack bribes) big brother shepherd finally got it at the end! Thanks Michael for the extra time and having set up such a fun spot for our grand babies to run free and wear themselves out so these old souls can sleep well tonight! Hope to be able to visit again soon! Cassini & Allie ( and grand parents Ann and Luis)❤️Ann V.

55This was a great spot for some fun on our way home from a rough morning at the vet. It’s the perfect size for a small dog like Hana and she had a great time sniffing around and trying out the equipment. We are working on Hana’s reactivity with other dogs and the B2B trail is at the perfect distance from the fence to practice some low-stress counter-conditioning. We will definitely be coming back!

55Very fun spot with a lot of activity options even for my lazy beast. I booked for her birthday expecting her to just lay down in the middle per her personality, but she enjoyed navigating some of the equipment and even almost broke out into a run at some point. Some owners of large, long bodied dogs may find some of the obstacles to be challenging for their dog's body shape. Many pedestrains visible using the B2B trail and a few visible dogs, but these were nonissues for us. It was cute to see the ducks, too! Spot was very clean and well maintained. Clinton L.

55Lovely little shaded spot with many agility obstacles. Fencing was secure and pool was filled with fresh, cool water, which was very appreciated. Do be mindful that there is an enclosed duck area very close to the sniffspot entrance. Alyssa B.

55We had a wonderful time at the confidence course! Mike was super communicative, filled the kiddie pool for us before we arrived, and offered to shoo his ducks into the coop before we arrived with a reactive dog. The course was so much fun, there was lots for the dogs to try out. I appreciate that Mike provided a towel, sun screen and bug spray, and some nice seating in the shade for the humans! Can’t wait to go back!Emily M.

55We’ve been to a few sniff spots and I think this might be our new favorite! Mike is such a great and communicative host. He set up a little dog pool with water and a towel for Winston and Stella on a holiday none the less!
Winston and Stella have previous experience in agility equipment so they were right at home running around in this yard. The equipment was perfect and the size of the sniff spot was plenty for my dogs to make themselves tired. The privacy of the facility was also super nice.
This spot is also such a bargain for the facilities provided. We wish we would have gone sooner during our trip- I think we would have been there every day 😂. We will definitely be telling our relatives to take their dogs here and we will be visiting again next time we are in town!
Thanks Mike!Michelle B.

55Beautiful spot to let my dog run around for a while! She had a blast climbing on everything, sniffing around, and Michael had even filled a little pool with water for her to splash around and cool off! There’s also a picnic table and plenty of shade. Will definitely be back! Carmen M.

55Great for trying to teach different obstacles or letting dogs explore meanwhile not getting out of sight. Could sit at same spot and see both dogs the whole time clearly.Andrew S.

55Such a wonderful and fun spot! My pup enjoyed the course and all the amazing obstacles. Mike has been a great host and rescheduled us after I had work keep us from coming on the initial date. The host also provided bug spray and sun spray, which was really nice. We will be back! Adrianna T.

55Both of my dogs had a blast! The open field was perfect for them to run and play fetch, the wooded area was perfect for sniffing and walking.
My only criticism is.. a map or boundary would have been nice. Veronica K.

FAQ About Chelsea 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.
