55Wonderful, large, clean, and private backyard with a high fence surrounding the entire space. Not only was it perfect for my dogs, but it was beautiful and peaceful for me to enjoy. The host could not have been more friendly, helpful and responsive. They left toys and balls out for my dogs to play with - so sweet. Will definitely return! Rachel R.

55My dogs and I had a fantastic time at this backyard! The space was beautifully kept, with grass perfect for running and a delightful array of toys that kept my pups entertained. It was a true doggy paradise.
What truly made the experience exceptional was the owner's kindness. When we forgot water, they graciously came out to chat and provide some, a thoughtful gesture we greatly appreciated. The peaceful atmosphere was a welcome escape from our 'concrete jungle', and we left feeling refreshed and eager to return. Thank you Dave and family for sharing your space with us!Caroline K.

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 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.
