55Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back! Fencing was well maintained, did not hear any dogs. My reactive dog was so relaxed the whole time. Some fun obstacles and toys. Very clean water and a nice shaded sitting area. Poop bags along the fence in case you needed one and were away from your stuff. Laura P.

55My dogs and I visit this spot fairly often. They love it and it's always enjoyable for me too. The host is very kind, and she keeps the space well maintained. I really appreciate that the fencing is secure enough that I can let my senior girl sniff around the pasture without her wandering too far while I exercise my high-energy aussie.Taylor S.

FAQ About Mount Dora 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.

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 500 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
