Penny's Place: A Spacious Norfolk Yard | Sniffspot
55The yard was perfect for my Golden Retriever, Golden Doodle and my daughter’s Blue Tick Coon Hound. They had plenty of room to run, chase each other and play. Lake access was great and our three big dogs had no trouble getting in and out. The yard was mowed and well kept, balls and a water bowl were provided as well as a water hose to fill it. We had a wonderful time and will definitely book again!!Cheryl S.

55It is so wonderful to be able to enjoy this yard with our dogs! We don’t get to take them to dog parks because they don’t like other dogs.. but this was such a treat for them to get out of our normal yard! Very clean so big! And the water view was a big bonus. We will be back very very soon! :) Taylor P.

55Beautiful estate. Wiseacre is a wonderful spot for pups to run around and take a splash into the lake. My golden loved jumping off the easement into the lake, chasing tennis balls.
Having the airport right across the water was a great bonus for the kids, watching the planes come and go.
Chuck was an awesome host and great guy, we will definitely be back again soon.Brett W.

55Just perfect. My Golden Retriever needs to run and he loves ball chucker fetch. This yard is 10x bigger than my backyard. We can’t wait to some back. The basket of balls was perfect, it’s his favorite balls and I left his at home. Thank you for having poop bags. I only had 2 left and he had 3 dumps. Katie C.

FAQ About Norfolk 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. 12% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Norfolk 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 207 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 291 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.
