55I’m dog sitting my brother’s dogs and this is exactly what was needed. No other dogs and no other people around. It felt like it was my own backyard where I and my dogs were able to relax. They’re used to a fence in yard so they felt right at home. Thank you!Liz D.

55Everything was just as described - our 3 dogs loved hanging out and trying out some agility equipment and we loved having a place to sit and relax! It was great to have a safe, totally enclosed area for them to run off leash and having water, toys, and anything else were all nice touches!Leslie N.

FAQ About Southport 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.
