55Great place! Clean, had toys available and places for people to sit. My dogs really enjoyed it. It was very hot outside, but there was water bowls and a hose for easy fill. My dogs enjoyed the toys and all the sniffing. Would definitely recommend. We did have a little trouble with finding the place and with the gate code but we quickly figured it out. I really appreciated the opportunity to bring my dogs to a safe place to run and play. Kelly S.

55Stella is a reactive dog towards other dogs. We are grateful for this particular SniffSpot while we are traveling. It was fully fenced in, plenty of shade, and had fun agility equipment that Stella thoroughly enjoyed practicing her skills! Mary H.

55This spot is awesome as usual. Dawn was in contact with me the morning of due to a prior recent rain and she wanted to let me know it might be soggy. I appreciated that but we went anyway and it wasn’t bad at all. My dog knows exactly where he is the minute we pull up. I would recommend this spot to anyone and will come back for sure.Tami A.

55This was a fantastic spot! Plenty of room to run, thoughtful setup, and it really did feel like we had rented our own private dog park. I particularly appreciate the effort put into the fencing that keeps visiting dogs away from the host's home. Host provides places to sit, agility equipment, toys and a nice secure area for visiting dogs to run, play and relax (though my dog ran the whole time LOL). Communication from the host was great and the directions provided were detailed and easy to follow. Thank you for a great experience! I only took videos while visiting so sadly, don't have any photos to post!Amy W.

55We booked this for our 17 month old Aussie named Otis. It was his first time using a slat mill and we were anticipating him being hesitant and he was initially but quickly got into it and had a great time. The space was clean and had water, treats, harnesses of various sizes, and toys to encourage your pet with. Excited to bring my pup here again. Alandria M.

FAQ About Summerville 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.

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.
