55So much fun for us and the dogs! Our first time using Sniff Spot and this one is perfect. It had everything one would need. Fresh water with clean bowls, plenty of space to romp including some agility equipment and balls. Music, picnic tables and shady seating for the humans. It’s so nice to have a safe place to let your dog play privately with other dogs you know are friendly and healthy. Ann C.

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.

55We all had a great time. Pups played using the agility course and plenty of room to throw balls. A good time was had by all the pups & Dog Mom's.
Clean, lots of places to sit.
Things to remember, park behind the building, and there is no restroom available. So don't drink too much coffee 🙄

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.
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. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 45% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Southport area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 80 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 133 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
