55As usual this spot is great! Haven’t been in awhile but upon arrival my dog knew exactly where he was and couldn’t wait to run! She added a few things for the dogs - tunnels, some agility things, but my dog just wanted to run and smell! Tami A.

55A lovely Sniffspot! Enough room for the dogs to really open up and run. Bushes for them to investigate and sniff. Lots of toys to choose from. The water line is awesome for fresh water for the dogs. We will definitely be back. Monica C.

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.

55This is a great place to take your dog. It's not far off the beaten path and is peaceful. A lot of room to roam and some agility equipment for the dogs to play with. Fresh water, shade and sun and a place to sit and have a cold drink. It is clean and well kept!Joan S.

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. 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.
