Mary's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Saint Joseph | Sniffspot
55Mary’s Sniffspot was perfect for our dogs! The fence was secure and at least 6’ tall. Mary is friendly and accommodating. The area is big enough to let your dogs run but small enough to easily keep an eye on them. This Sniffspot was a great pit stop on our road trip - the dogs and humans were both able to stretch their legs! Virginia W.

FAQ About Saint Joseph 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.
