55We just took our young lab out for her first off leash experience.
This sniff spot is great!!
Beautiful yard and surroundings. So much for her to sniff out and run around.
She’s a lab and even though we brought her favorite balls, she had no interest because she was so excited with such a big space to explore.
Thanks Deborah!
We will be back!Deb G.

Deborah's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Venice | Sniffspot
55My friend and I have been to Deb’s Sniffspot many times. My friend helps me as I have three dogs. The yard is always very clean and Deb provides a big bowl of fresh water for my dogs. The yard is large, spotless and has a very secure fence. Deb has comfortable furniture for us to sit on and a patio that is shady. There is also a hose available to wipe off slobber. Also, Deb’s Sniffspot is rarely closed. It is a great Spot. The dogs love it and get so excited when they realize we are going there!Carol F.

Mav's Paw Park 🐾 1 Acre Fully Fenced Dog Park In Nokomis, Florida | Sniffspot
55Mav’s has become our favorite Sniff spot, It is by far the most secure place we’ve been at. I found my boy was happier there than at a bigger property because there’s so much for him to do, he was in the pool today and he loves going thru the grass. This is better than the park.We both feel safe totally and happier because I’m not worried he’s going to react to something Eleanor M.

Kristen's beautiful fenced in playful doggie park! 🏞️ | Sniffspot
55Great communication. Very patient and accommodating. It started pouring down rain and she let me come at a different time. Completely fenced yard with no areas that my dog could get out, mostly shade which is a must in Florida with a small section to get sun. Karen J.

FAQ About Venice 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. 15% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Venice 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 171 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 253 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
