55My high energy pup enjoys visiting this wide open backyard to run around in and play catch. It's very secure and there's a seating area. I especially like how it's only a five minute drive away from my home and there's a variety of available visit times. Zach is always a very thoughtful and responsive host. We'll be visiting often!

FAQ About Northwest Raleigh 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.
