55The host was super communicative and welcoming beforehand making our experience a breeze. The yard was fully fenced, so my mind was at ease letting my new-to-me dog run wild and free while practicing our recall. The zoomies were zoomed, lol. The natural beauty of the place felt like a summer day in a Hallmark movie. Very impressed! We will be back!Coach S.

55Fantastic well-fenced large area close to town. PERFECT for my reactive aggressive dog who can’t go to public dog parks! no other people or dogs around. Water provided. Just a note for future visitors, there was a bone and a toy in the bag with the water. My dog is food possessive so we just removed the bone while we were there and replaced it when we left. Thanks for letting us use your yard to get some much needed energy out! Aggressive apartment dogs deserve to run off leash too :) we’re thankful to you Karsyn H.

55I wish I’d learned about SniffSpot much sooner. Our first was perfect. We mostly walked around the yard and sniffed. My dog found a nice spot to stretch out in the grass. I will definitely be back. Tricia S.

55We have been traveling with our dogs for 5 weeks and going to dog parks wasn’t cutting it anymore. This place was an absolute gem for the dogs. Milo loves to play ball and there was plenty of room. Gracie likes to “patrol” the area and she had plenty to investigate. There was plenty of shade and we brought our own water for the pups. The only downside was the lack of somewhere to sit for humans.Julie A.

55Tiffany’s spot is great! There are easy instructions to get to the private, fully fenced in yard. The dogs loved running around the fruit trees, and the compost pile and pooper scooper make waste cleanup so easy! I highly recommend this spot! Ellinore P.

55Everything about this park was great. Directions into the park were clear. The area was clean and the fencing was safe. However, It was a warm day and there was no dog water available. The trees in the park gave my dogs fun obstacles to play around. We will for sure visit again Jenny S.

FAQ About Durango 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.
