55Paw by Paw’s sniff spot is in a central, very convenient location. It is a great outdoor space with two sets of gates for security. The fence is high and private and the turf is soft and not too hot. Our dogs lived the kitty pool.Amy F.

55Phenomenal! The location is easy to find and has tons of parking. The dog area was clean and well maintained. There was water and a kiddie pool available--we can't wait for the warmer months to use this! There was ample seating for the humans. The space was wheelchair accessible, so my partner could join in the fun. There were other dogs and owners in the store, training area, and parking lot. We appreciated this opportunity to work with our dog in a safe space with multiple distractions. Overall, a great place for our dog to review her training, get exposure to seeing other dogs/humans, and just run around and enjoy the sun.Suzanne B.

FAQ About Kensington Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?

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.
