55First time there and it was a great experience. House was easy to find. I was able to park right in the driveway which is super important to me as I try to wrangle 2 excited dogs out of the car by myself. The backyard was very secure. No gaps or openings in the fence that they can sneak under/through. Flat green grass. You are able to see your dogs no matter where you are in the backyard. There’s a small trash can to use after cleanup. A bowl of water and a bin of dog toys. Chairs to sit. Everything you need. We will definitely be back. Lisa R.

55Fantastic yard that’s super clean and secure in a quiet neighborhood. The neighbor’s dog did come out for about 10-15min and was barking on and off, which put my dog a bit on edge until the coast was clear again.
My guy had a great time and is totally wiped out… we’d definitely visit again if in the area!Roopa R.

55Great yard with lots of room for pups to run & play while we humans watched from comfortable seating on the patio.
And, when a break from the sun was desired, we could all find a bit of shade for relief. Look forward to visiting this Sniff Spot again. Kelly D.

55What a great spot! We took our dog here for her first time being off-leash and had a great time. She’s not ready to socialize with other dogs just yet, so this was a great opportunity to let her run around without having to worry about that Clare H.

55This yard is incredible for a dog who needs to run!! I got my dog last week and she is high energy (but also a little reactive) and I wanted to let her off leash to run around. This yard is big with lots of open space for playing. Ember had an amazing time and she found lots of good places to smell! Corynne B.

55The best sniff spot just got better! They removed the trampoline which never really got in the way of my pups enjoyment (he loved laying under it on hot summer days). The yard is wide open and great for games of fetch! They have a beautiful willow tree that provides shade if needed. Still my pup’s favorite place by far! 💖 🐕Amy J.

55Great spot with lots of open space for our pups to run around.
The neighbor’s dog did come out at one point, but they were quiet and there was plenty of space to just move to the other side of the yard.
Great time, thank you for letting us use your space! Would definitely return. Lauren R.

55This was our first time ever trying Sniffspot & we picked the perfect location! I booked another visit before we even left. The yard is massive, it’s located in a quiet neighborhood, very clean and well maintained. They left a water bowl out and some toys along with treats and poop bags. There was chairs for us to sit on while our pups enjoyed their time. They played the entire hour and it tuckered them out for the rest of the day! Thank you all so much for sharing your yard with us. We can’t wait until our next visit!! Tainara A.

55My pup & I Always have a terrific time here. He’s an anxious shy guy but at Bentley’s he’s relaxed and just enjoys running for the ball and sniffing out new smells. Ty for offering your yard which provides us a safe and secure place to be ‘leash free’. 🐕😊Amy J.

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.
