55My sister and I took our dogs Hilly and Ragnar here for their birthday! They had an absolute blast running around and playing with each other, and Hilly was especially fond of the pool. There is a hose and a water bowl you are able to fill, tons of toys that our dogs found and played with, as well as little treats and some poop bags left out for us to use. It was nice to give them some space to run around and sniff! Rachel W.

55Exactly as listed. Secure private fencing & gate. Little agility course, toys, water bowl & hose, and even left out a complimentary bag of treats and bug spray to use if needed!
I was running behind and messaged to ask if I could move the appointment back an hour and they agreed, very accommodating. Ricky S.

55Easy to access the yard and water. Great amenities between pup toys, agility equipment, and hammock. It was great to be able to give my energetic puppy an opportunity to run around a bit while we are visiting family who don’t have fenced in yards.Kelly F.

55Great yard near the city but still feels private enough with the fence there for my reactive pup to not be focused on other people/animals. It was so great to be able to see him roam around and sniff to his heart’s content!Lisa S.

FAQ About Shaker Heights 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.
