55Amazing sniff spot!! Spacious and had toys, agility equipment, water, and poop bags available. We did the socialization add-on for our 7 month old puppy and she had a blast playing. There are no neighbor dogs or people that we can see through the fence. We will definitely be back!! Shane Ann L.

55I booked this location because of the size, my dog is 100lbs and loves big places. Unfortunately I hadn’t received the notification that the owner was unable to accommodate our request, due to the mud and some fencing issues, until we pulled up into the driveway (not her fault, it said it had been sent an hour prior the notification just didn’t show up). However! They were SUPER accommodating and allowed us to still take our dog to a different pasture they owned, my dog loved the big area and slept the whole way home. They even gave us a dog toy for being the first people to book the location. This was our first time using Sniffspot and we’ll definitely use it again! Sarah B.

55Saulo’s sniff spot was very clean and accommodating for a high energy/reactive pup! The yard is fully fenced in, has an obstacle course, plenty of yard to sniff around, and even a tethered ball to a tree branch for pups to chase/ play with. Saulo was a great communicator and host. Toys, water, and poop bags were available for us to use as wellNATALIE H.

55This backyard was great! My two dogs had an awesome time, they were definitely stimulated the whole time with the amenities in the yard. The agility course had one of my dogs attention and the ball on a rope from the tree had my other dogs attention. Katherine N.

55HUGE backyard! Absolutely loved it. Lots of room to throw balls. Provided everything we needed (toys, balls, rope, ball rope from tree, water bowl, bubbles, bags for waste). It was also nice how it’s partly shaded and partly in the sun. Had places for us to sit as well. Definitely one of my dogs favorites! Sharon N.

55Great yard! In a safe neighborhood, ample street parking, easy access to the backyard, and so much more! There are two main parts of the backyard: a large grassy area when you enter and a very large more wooded area further in the back. Lots of trees for shade, plants for sniffing, some agility equipment, toys, water and bowl, chair, etc. The entire yard was clean and maintained. I plan to visit this Sniffspot again to tire out my puppy!Jennifer M.

55Perfect spot to get zoomies out and sniff all over! Hosts allowed access to their covered gazebo on the deck with a ceiling fan which was nice to cool off in. Host provided fresh water, a water bowl, toys, towels and bags for your pup. Super easy entrance and no other dogs on either sides of the fence (super nice for my reactive boys). Thanks for giving us a place to play! -Tyson & WalkerKarrington F.

55We loved coming here! It’s perfect for my 3 dogs who need the space to run long distances. I love the big privacy fence around the entire yard. The huge roll of dog poop bags next to the waste bin is so handy, but our favorite part was the big basket of chuck it balls accompanied by a chuck it stick! I brought my own chuck it and one ball, but I used a bunch of the balls provided too because 2 of my retrievers love to play fetch! Definitely one of our new favorite spots!!Emma R.

55Excellent place to let my two pups run freely, and very close to my residence! Spacious, lots of Chuck-It balls to use, tall fence (Maybe 8 ft? My reactive dog can jump a 5 ft fence, unfortunately...)and secure top to bottom all the way around. Hope to visit again!Kathryn S.

FAQ about our Poplar Branch 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?

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. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Poplar Branch 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 127 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 8 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.
