55Another terrific visit to Bentley’s! This is by far our favorite Sniff Spot. My pup’s confidence improves with each visit. He is safe, secure and calm, even to the point of relaxing in the shade and just taking in the air, (he’s always on guard at dog parks for dog less people walking the grounds). Bentley’s yard is meticulously groomed, fresh water & toys always available. Plenty of space for playing ball, mini sniffari and just chilling. Bentley’s is a godsend especially for us condo dwellers. Much gratitude for the host of this very special place.Amy J.

55Great spot to allow our pup run around off leash! The grass was nice and short, and we were there early enough that there was some shady spots. There were toys and water left out of us as well. Will definitely come back! Irene L.

55This is a great spot! It's a huge grassy area that my dogs loved to explore and sniff. It was also great for fetch for my dog that loves fetch. I brought my daughter and she loved to chase the dogs around too. It is private and securely fenced. One of my regular spots!David A.

FAQ About Reading 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 4% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Reading area are 5 stars.
