55The access instructions were helpful and we had no issues finding the spot. The spot itself is beautiful, overlooking the pond and was grassy and clean even after two days of rain. Our dogs loved running around and a nice large bucket was provided for water. Overall a great experience! Emily L.

55Our third time visiting this wonderful Sniffspot. As before, it was peaceful, beautiful, and clean, with lots of open space for exercising and sniffing. Love the Adirondack chairs under the shade tree and the view across the pond to the cow pasture. Lori was very considerate in letting me know right after I made my reservation that some neighbors were hosting a Labor Day picnic, and we might see people in their backyard (which is visible from the Sniffspot but quite a distance away). I let her know I didn't think it would be a concern, and as it happened the picnic seemed to be over by the time we arrived in the early evening. But I very much appreciated the heads up from the host. Great spot ... Charlie and I both love it. Donna S.

55Lovely yard with plenty of room to run. The pups loved it! The water bowl was much appreciated as well as the off street parking. My guy & his pal had the best time rolling around & having room to stretch their legs. Will definitely be back! Tracey A.

55Great spot with room for big dogs to run! Very nicely secured fence. Beautiful view too! The horses across the road were super interesting to our dogs (in a good way!). Kathy H.

55This was an awesome yard! Tuna and I had so much fun. I loved how open it was- there was plenty of room to run around and get some energy out.
Tuna liked being able to see through the slats in the fence, but an escape artist dog might be able to wiggle around or through.
I'll definitely be back, this was a great spot for my pup to get some exercise :)Emily C.

55Jennifer's yard was nicely kept. If you have a jumper the fence might be a little low. Jen provided water, and there was a place to sit. Jennifer was very friendly and I would definitely go back again Cindy K.

FAQ About Manheim 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.
