55Very nice property with a mowed path surrounding it. I parked in the looped driveway and tried to stay out of the way. Hopefully we parked in the right spot! My dog had a blast and enjoyed running around and rolling in delightfully smelly patches of grass lol Kate R.

55I’ve been to April’s about 4 times and love it. It’s clean, spacious, and has everything a dog or person can want. It’s very accessible and reasonably priced. I’ll be back Deborah B.

55This was our favorite Sniffspot experience! Perfect space for my reactive dog. The area is big and clean. There are no houses, dogs, roads directly close to the fence (and the fence was secure). We really enjoyed our time!Amber A.

55This was our first visit to a sniffspot and I was so delighted with our time here! Although the road is visible from the fenced in spot, it was far enough away that our reactive puppy paid absolutely no attention to it. The fences were secure and the barn provided a nice shaded area. We really appreciated the water and bowl that was provided.
It was soooo lovely to be able to watch our 7 month old Irish Setter puppy run off leash in a large safe area! Thank you so much for sharing your yard - we will definitely return!Renee P.

55We loved the spot! Exactly as described and entering/exiting/parking we’re easy. We really enjoyed that they had an elevated cot for the dogs to lay on if they wanted so that was a pleasant surprise!! It was our first experience but definitely not our last.Karleigh M.

55This was a very nice, large, fully fenced area. We took our dogs there for 30 minutes for their initial visit, just to check things out. This was PERFECT for our dogs, as they love to run! It was great to see them so happy dashing full speed throughout the fenced-in area. 🐾❤️🐶 We brought our own toys, but our dogs simply had a blast running all throughout the spacious area.
There were toys, a bowl & jugs of water, a pooper-scooper & bags provided for poop pick-up (not sure why some people don't clean up after their dogs when these things are provided). There's also a wooden shed with 2 portable camp chairs inside if you want to sit & watch your dogs play. You truly don't need to bring anything but your dog! Martina N.

55My dogs had a lot of fun. It was clean and there were water and toys. One of my dogs had a good look around the fence and could have got out underneath it, so I kept him distracted from it. I think it would be secure for most dogs though.Alexandra F.

55Our favorite SniffSpot!!
Perfect size for our two huskies to run around and play. We have been here 4 times and will continue to visit. The homeowner was also kind enough to consider our past suggestions and enact them. A wonderful spot and host! Jordan M.

55The Sniffspot was clean and secure…a perfect place to practice Emma’s much needed listening skills throughout her excitement of going some place new. I took some fetch toys for something added to do. It’s easy to find and to easy access. Cathy M.

FAQ About Dexter 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 Dexter 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 445 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 769 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.
