55Great yard for my dog to play in. My only concern is when you pull out of the driveway onto the road, there is a huge hill on your left and a speeding car might not see you pull out coming down the road. Tuan G.

55We had a fantastic time and the property is set far enough from other homes that I wasn't concerned about encountering anything but wildlife. I do wish there were more boundary markers to the right of the house across the stream (or maybe I didn't make it to the markers). The host was super nice as well. Next time I'm in the area I will be booking againMonica D.

55This was our first visit here, and we will definitely be back! The space was clean and maintained, and the host provides a good selection of toys for the dogs to use. It was a quiet location. Our girl Aurora had a blast running around to her heart's content, something that she doesn't really get to do in our apartment. I would highly recommend giving Playful Pups a shot!Zachary H.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot. I wish we would have done this sooner. Our girls loved running and playing. It gave me a peace of mind knowing that they were safe and contained with in a fence and could feel the freedom of being off leash. We have one reactive dog, and this has now opened up a new world for her to build confidence and be herself! Thank you for such an awesome opportunity we will be visiting again and again!Cheryl L.

55Katie’s spot was great! Lots of wide open space tucked away from the main road and lined with woods. This is a perfect spot for larger or higher energy dogs who love to sprint. Highly recommend!Julia K.

55This was our second time at the Playful Pups Sniffspot, and we'll be back! I have an 8-month old silver lab, and we don't have a fenced in yard. This is the perfect size for him to get a chance to run around. It is a little hard to find the first time, but it's worth it. It's a great spot for a puppy or a reactive dog. It's very quiet. We heard a dog from a neighboring house bark a couple of times, but that was it. It had snowed a little the night before, but that just made it even more fun for my lab! Would definitely recommend this Sniffspot! Antoinette F.

55Thanks had a very good time. Would definitely recommend. Western and northern boundaries were well marked and obvious. On eastern side though either we missed it or didn’t reach it. Remember this is the woods, I pulled twenty ticks off my dog and five off myself. Check check and re-check!Michael F.

55This spot is seclusive, well kept with a high fence for bigger pups like mine. It is in a wooded area so there will be alot of gnats but thats expected. The area was clean and my dog Prince (who is a reactive dog) got the privacy he needed so he could run around for his 8th birthday today. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for sharing your space. It means alot to those who have dogs like i do. Christina B.

FAQ About Elizabethtown 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.
