55Such a great spot! We had some room for fetch, some shade, and took a brief dip in the pool. And Shelly is so kind and accommodating, even putting out towels and sunscreen in case we needed it. We will definitely visit again. Amy P.

55Cooper had the BEST time running and splashing around. So thankful Shelly opened her beautiful backyard for dogs that are hyper reactive like ours. This was a real treat to visit coming from Waikiki and usually being on leash. It was a beautiful / clean / fenced and safe location. Can’t wait to book again! Elaine m.

55Great second visit for the dogs and they were so excited to see Shellys dad and be there for their training. It is really designed for play and fun, which my dogs had plenty of, but they associate water with baths so they avoid the pool. We took advantage of Grandpa who is really nice, the traffic, and a lady walking a huge reactive dog with one of those horrible prong collars to work on my dogs' reactivity and it couldn't have worked out better. Shelly is so accommodating and they feel like ohana already. We will be back. Marianne J.

55I have 2 dog reactive dogs and it’s hard to take both of them to the beach together because I usually just work 1 dog at a time. This place is enclosed and equipped with all the tools you need for a fun pool day! My dogs never looked so happy to run around in the big yard and swim in the pool 😍🥹Mahalo Shelly for an amazing pool day with the pups looking forward to booking with you again.Maddy E.

55I took my dogs to Shelly's today for their first visit to meet with their trainer and do dog obedience. Shelly is wonderful, as is her husband and father. Full of aloha and accommodating. My dogs don't swim (yet) but the spot was perfect for what we needed to do today. We are going back next week and I'll probably dress to get wet even if the dogs don't. What a great break for us all from town life. Marianne J.

55We had such a great time! Our two dogs enjoyed the yard and pool! Everything was clean and well kept. Shelly even left out toys, towels and water bowls! Since we live in an apartment and don’t have a yard we barely get to let the dogs off leash so this was really special. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us. Katie L.

55Shelly was so kind, communicative, thoughtful and offered everything we could need for the pool. Our dogs had fun playing together which was a bonus, although if I would’ve rather had the time to just my dogs, Shelly said she would’ve taken her dogs out during the time we would be there. We had a blast and would love to return again! Sierra B.

FAQ About Kailua 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Kailua 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 4 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 26 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.
