55My reactive dog and son had a blast running around the property. The little forested area was lovely and it was nice to have seating areas in the grass for us to sit. I loved that it had our reservation on a white board on the gate entrance. We will definitely be back!Ronni C.

55The dogs had a blast sniffing around Jennifer's yard! It felt very private, even with a residence being present in the yard. A few different landscapes for the pups to enjoy, treed/shady areas, longer grass. Sounds of a small farm close by, but no issues for my pups. A nice collection of dog sticks available. Clearly marked sign with my reservation and secure fencing throughout. I didn't see dog poop bags available, so bring your own! Chantal K.

55We have been to Cielo Del Pedro SniffSpot twice this weekend! What a great set up. Both of our dogs (8 year old dobbie and 1.5 year old dobbie) were able to run wild, sniff about and release all of their energy in a safe and secure spot! They loved lunging through the long grass and getting their paws muddy. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for setting up and sharing this space Tammy!

55A great place to let your dog explore! I have a very reactive rescue dog and it was so amazing being able to have her off leash without any worry. My son was playing hide and seek with her which tired them both out, haha. It was nice that there was water and a dish ready to go for thirsty dogs. I would recommend wearing long pants and gumboots if you go there right after a big rainfall like we did. All in all a very positive experience and will definitely be going back. Grateful to have something like this in our area!Ronni C.

55This space is amazing! My two reactive dog had the time of their lives. The space is thoughtfully set up, with lots of drinking water and a very secure fence. There are some prickly plants scattered around, which didn't seem to bother my dogs but I will wear shoes instead of sandals next time I visit. This place rocks! Dyllan L.

55Stopped going to the dog park when our 12 pound little boy required a vet visit because of injury from another dog.
First time at sniff spot. We loved it. The fencing is completely secure for a little dog. Our dog is little, but he is fast and he ran all over the place. Our yard at home is not enough. We want more stimulation for this little man! He was a crazy blur running in huge circles. This is such a beautiful private spot. We enjoyed our hour so much. We will be back.

55Our 2nd visit. Even more enjoyable than the 1st time. I brought my 2 reactive dogs. It's really freeing to let them run around without fear of other folks and dogs. Very peaceful, birds were singing. Donna B.

55Great, quiet spot with a mix of grass, water, trees and paths for dogs to explore. The host is super thoughtful and provides clean drinking water and a bowl, poop bags and a sheltered area with a bench to sit on or store your things. My pup had so much fun zooming around, we will be back! Danika S.

55Really cool spot for the dogs to just run free on the pathways and through the long grass, they had a really good time! We went in the evening and it was a little buggy so good to be prepared for that but overall a great experience for all. Marie B.

55My dogs and I loved the spot! There is so much room for them to run, explore, and things to sniff. We all ended up a bit muddy, but it's to be expected, and the dogs loved it. There is water and a bowl, poop bags in case you forget yours. The area is very secure, and even though my dogs could hear other dogs and animals nearby, it was private enough for my reactive dog to not be too bothered. Parking and entrance clearly marked. We will certainly go back! Tara K.

55They have a nice clean bowl with drinking water available for your dog! Right on!
I just love this space! The freedom and relaxation that me and my dog both have here is the best feeling. No leashes, no muzzle. A really private natural setting.

55Cute spot! One of my two dogs are blind, so we kept to the outer cleared trail. There's some deep mud on the back edge of the yard, so prepare for some muddy paws/boots if we get more rain. Easy to find and access. I brought my own bowl and water as someone else had mentioned standing water that's tempting for the pups to drink, and I'd suggest that for others accessing the space. Doggie bags and garbage can available near the entrance.Chantal K.

FAQ About Nelson 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. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 13% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Nelson area are 5 stars.
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 3 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 6 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
Does Nelson have any fully fenced dog parks?
