55Dave’s fenced yard is unbelievable. Your dog will be able to run and play and explore—it’s well manicured and huge—while you sit and relax in the shade. We drove out there from nyc and will do it again when we are back this way with our girl. Truly exceptional spot and Dave is a wonderful host. Piama G.

55We had an amazing time at this Sniffspot! The space was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for our dog to run and play freely. Dave, the host, was incredibly helpful and friendly, making sure everything was set up for a great visit. Our dog had a blast, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there as well. We’re definitely planning on coming back and will be signing up for a membership if it’s available. Highly recommend!Mariana M.

55Dave’s yard is the ultimate SniffSpot! It’s spacious, well-maintained, and quiet — exactly what we need for our anxious rescue pup to feel comfortable and completely free being outdoors. There’s ample seating for owners—we brought lunch to go and ate on the picnic table—and paying extra for the heat lamp was totally worth it. It made us forget all about the cold. Five stars all around! :) Bernice C.

My dog, Rocky, absolutely loves it here—it’s his favorite place to release all his energy for the week. It truly feels like his second home!Pearl L.

55Super nice place. Fully fenced. Quiet. You will hear a train here and there that can make your dogs bark but other than that, it’s a great yard. Nice size. Tennis balls available.
I believe the only water bowls are given by the owner, who you will meet, super nice guy! I didn’t see poop bags either but we had our own. Just a heads up for those who visit!
We will be back :) Dianna L.

FAQ about our Montclair 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.
