55Loved this spot! It was spacious and the host was very accommodating. There were toys, water, poop bags, a long line, and a waste basket for use. The spot was exactly as described. Parking was convenient and close to the gate. The spot was quite and the fencing was very secure! Lindsay P.

55We visited with our nervous girl and she loved it. Easy to park right by the gate. Secure fence. Plenty of room to run and play. Lots of sniffs and shade under the trees. The host left a cooler of water, which was so nice because the playing made her thirsty. Thank you! Jennifer M.

FAQ About Gary 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.
