55Dani’s property was awesome! We were greeted with chickens roaming around the property that were doing their own thing. Nova made sure to explore every inch of the enclosed area- needless to say she’s taking a nice nap right now! We will for sure be back!

55We loved it! Our dog is fear reactive with other dogs, he's never been up close to livestock. Well, he did great here on hid 30 foot lead, so we could train a bit with him on his recall and some reactivity training techniques. We also let the leash off for a bit. Being this is only a 7 minute drive, we will return again. My boy loves the farm life! The host is very responsive too!

55A lovely fenced acre or so for quiet training and a good romp. The fence is a livestock fence, so not much of a deterrent if your buddy is an escape artist or prone to wander, but the space provides some great country smells in a well manicured yard. We'll definitely come back to work on leashed recall training and hike prep.

FAQ About Dover 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. 21% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Dover 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 208 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 358 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.
