55Our dogs had a great time at this spot. Couldn’t keep our water lover out of the pond. Yes there was algae but we know it can be hard to control. Dogs weren’t bothered by it at all. The play yard was clean and spacious. This was our very first Sniffspot visit and we were super satisfied. Thanks!Laurie C.

55Beautiful, private spot with secure fencing. My dog felt right at home immediately. Super clean, no debris, my small dog was safe from getting in any trouble (like getting stuck under things, burrows, holes, etc). Everything is well-marked and it’s obvious lots of care and pride have been taken. Bonus: bald eagles seem overhead!!Lisa A.

FAQ About Delaware 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.
