55Clean and friendly. It’s very safe because it’s all fenced even around the pool. Bill left clean water, paper towels, toys, poop bags and balls for us. Although this spot is a track from my house I will definitely use it again and again. Thank you Bill. ❤️Joan G.

55Always enjoy this place. My dogs go straight to the box of toys. We are always welcomed with a personalized sign, a water bowl, and poop bags. Lots of room for my pups to run and play and sniff. Always clean and neat.Julie K.

55Rosie likes to check the fence perimeter-it’s fine. Rocky likes to test the pool enclosure-it’s fine. Both like to sample the box of toys and drink all of the fresh water. Mom likes to sit in the beautiful yard and enjoy the gentle breeze and the birdsong. Thank you again-one of our favorite spots! Safe, large, beautiful. 💖Pauline W.

55Truly an excellent acre yard that my two dogs love. One is more active so she loves running around and exploring while the other wanders about at her own pace while I can relax in the fully fenced and secure yard. Kudos to the hosts, they very much did everything to make it a great time. EDUARDO C.

55Hannah's yard was absolutely perfect for my pup. He’s reactive toward people and tends to run, so a fenced-in, private yard is exactly what we need. The yard is fully fenced and even reinforced in certain areas. I left my dog on a long (20 ft) lead just in case I needed to grab him quickly, but I felt totally comfortable letting go—others should have no concerns there. The yard was very clean, and Hannah thoughtfully provided toys, water, poop bags, and a trash can. Everything was exactly as described and super easy to access. I really appreciate all that Hannah has done—it’s clear she’s considerate of reactive dogs and their owners. My boy is still tired! We’ll definitely be back.Kelly T.

55Fantastic yard for a dog to run their heart out in. Fully fenced, Owner left water, toys (the chuck it thrower was SO helpful because I couldn’t find my own) and bags. We had a fantastic time and will be returning very soon. Sasha L.

55Thank you my lab has not decided to retrieve that much in years 😊 They both had fun and thank you for the toys and water. As you see the French bulldog was thrilled to dive in the toy bin! We enjoyed your lovely space and hope to be back when the pool opens as well. Katey B.

FAQ About Shelton 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.
