55My Jack Russel loved it! Safe neighborhood, easy parking, and very clean. Fence was high and secure. We had a blast. He loves his ball and is already asleep. He needed to run. Thank you for allowing us there!Dora A.

55We had a wonderful first visit at Lauren's Sniffspot! Easy to get into and the directions provided were accurate. The area was clean and the fence is secure. It's a little small for *big* dogs, but my service dog is a labrador retriever and this made for a perfect play break during my work day. It's sufficiently sized for training, too. We will absolutely return! Samantha L.

55Lovely spot! Be mindful that the gate could be pushed open by a big enough dog, we had to move a chair in front of it to feel comfortable our dogs wouldn't accidentally open it.Amanda M.

55Fantastic spot! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful space!! Polo & Sage are new pup friends that enjoyed having a place to RUN. The backyard is secure, spacious, clean and safe. We brought our own water, but they blew through that pretty quick so I was grateful for the water! We will definitely book again and highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a safe place to let their pups explore.Ashley W.

55It was a very clean area and there were several water bowls out, thank you very much!! The fence was high enough that even with hearing one other dog for just a few minutes, that I believe was the neighbors, our dogs could never actually see them, so it was great. We have big and small dogs and of course our beagle, being a beagle, snuck down under the gate to go down the few basement steps. Once he realized there was absolutely nothing down there for him to get into though he came back up and left it alone. 
Thank you for having a garbage can out also, it helped a lot to have a place to dispose of doggy bags!Angela F.

FAQ About Harrisburg 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.
