55This place is awesome! My dog loved the mud after rain recently and admittedly so did I! So much space and my dog could sniff around. Hope to be back as this is easy and close to do on my lunch hour. Aida S.

55Reese enjoyed running around the field and playing ball. We moved to the yard because she was more interested in the chickens than she was playing ball. There were areas that were muddy and she also found a puddle to play in so we had to go for a bath afterwards. She still had a blast with all the room to run. Thank you for sharing your space!

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.
