55Amazing! Our reactive coonhound had her dream yard all to herself. Super easy to find, very well fenced and the best 12$ ever spent to tire out a dog with seemingly endless energy. We will be back! Morgan E.

55Great spot! My dogs had a great time! We brought them to celebrate one of our dogs "gotcha day" and they had tons of fun zooming around, checking out the smells, and playing in the splash pad. Fortunately they did not notice the chickens until the end so they weren't distracted lol.Molly L.

55Absolutely obsessed with this spot! The hosts were super friendly & inviting. They provided so many helpful items from water dishes & dog toys to sunscreen & bug spray. The space was huge and our pups loved it. They were able to burn so much energy here & explore so much. They even got to see chickens for the first time (which were contained for everyone's safety) which they were pretty curious about. All around 5 star experience. We will definitely be back! Ash H.

55My three dogs and I enjoyed the open space and the security of the fence around this beautiful property. It was a nice touch to have supplies on the front porch. Directions for entering were clear. It was a very positive experience and we’ll likely return. Thank you to the hosts! Joyce I.

55Had such an amazing time and they supplied so many differents things! I was a tad worried about the chickens but they were at the very back of the property and dog neutral! My girl is small and might have been able to get through the gate so just keep an eye for your dog if they love to escape. Had so many shaded spots so we could still play and lounge outside of the heat! Hunter T.

55It was such a lovely time! My 4 dogs had a BLAST! I was very nervous about the chickens but they honestly did so well. They sniffed and ran around there coup a couple times then they went about their time. I drove over an hour and a half to experience this Sniffspot and it was definitely a winner. Made my top 3 for sure !Alejita M.

FAQ about our Portage 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Portage 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 78 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 19 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.
