55Great place for some indoor play time! (Especially during winter months). Had great equipment and wonderful staff. Large area was great space to run and even give my pup the chance to try different types of exercise (weaving, up and down objects, jumping over tires). Would absolutely be back! Chris C.

55We had a great recent experience at Delaware Pet University!! We had plans to reunite our rescue with one of her puppies we had found through Embark (dog dna/ancestry site) but then could not meet at an outside Sniffspot with the forecast calling for torrential rain all day. This facility was a lifesaver! We didn't need to cancel our plans and were able to meet our dogs' puppy and its owner. The dogs were able to run and play indoors in a large/open space with artificial grass. We also got to stay dry while taking pictures and videos. We would recommend for anyone as a great space for their dogs to play, especially on a rainy or cold day. The staff was super helpful and friendly too; they provided clear instructions for parking and met us outside to welcome us and the dogs. Strongly recommend! Thank you!!Holly R.

FAQ About Newark 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. 7% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Newark 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 548 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 855 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.
