55The dogs are currently passed out on the couch! The space was big enough to tire out my Rottweiler, and our old man Winston had plenty of space to sniff. The supplied toys were a very nice option, and we were greeted with a "Welcome Swayze and Winston" sign accompanied by some treats! 10/10 recommend!Candice P.

55Absolutely amazing Sniffspot and my dogs and I will be back again and again! I have been taking my 2 dogs to Sniffspots for years and the amount of care and attention to detail from this host was incredible!! Right off the bat, she gives great directions on her listing page with photos on how to find the Sniffspot, as well as including signage that is easy to follow. She was even kind enough to warn me about muddy conditions (not her fault, a ton of snow melted) and she even put down a rug to prevent my dogs and I having to step through some of the mud. Once we arrived, she had an adorable sign made with my dogs’ names greeting us, along with a bag of treats for them! So thoughtful!! She also provides multiple bins of clean, not destroyed dog toys, Chuck-it’s, balls, and many Jolly balls! I was really touched that she even provides first-aid dog supplies as well as plenty of wipes & hand sanitizer, safe for both pups and humans. There was a dog waste station, poop bags, and even a few hooks to hang leashes! There was a bench for humans to sit and even two camping chairs with blankets provided for cold days! Karen thought of absolutely everything and the attention to detail really ranks this Sniffspot above and beyond. There was tons of room for my dogs to run and play, some squirrels for them to have fun chasing, and the fencing was tall & secure with no gaps or holes. I did not see or hear any humans or dogs during my 90 minute visit either. The only thing you’ll see is typical small wildlife like squirrels. 10/10 - I recommend this Sniffspot to everyone!! I am happy to have another Sniffspot in my rotation of places to take my dogs to play. Bonus that this one is closer to home! Devyn B.

55We had a lovely time with our two dogs who got to run around a safely fenced area. The host was thoughtful in providing water, treats, toys, and even chairs and blankets for the humans. The host also reached out beforehand to let us know the area was covered in snow and some ice. We look forward to visiting again, especially when the snow melts.Ryan J.

55Shrimp had the BEST time running around at Karen’s sniff spot. There were chairs to sit in while he played and lots of toys he could try out. I also really appreciated the markings to know where to park and the sweet sign welcoming us with a treat! Lexie F.

55My dogs had a great time running around and playing! I really appreciated that the host provided blankets and a temporary shelter, as I was colder than I expected to be this morning. This was our second visit, and I'm sure we'll be back. Anna S.

55It's by far one of my favorite sniffs spots that I've visited in my area. Beautiful, well-kept piece of property, an abundance of dog toys, plenty of fresh water already provided, and even some complimentary dog treats. My dogs had a blast chasing each other around, and my husband and I enjoyed the lawn chairs that were provided underneath their massive trees. We will 100% be back.Jessie Y.

55Wonderful area! Karen welcomed us with a personalized sign and cookies. There were so many toys and balls, clean water available, poop bags, first aid stuff, and wipes. The dogs had a blast.
One thing I would like to mention is that this Sniffspot is on a hill. My old man wore out pretty quickly from going up and down. Just a note, it was great for the 3 year old though!Sarah C.

FAQ About Edwardsville 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. 17% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Edwardsville 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 216 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 353 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.
