55I’m relatively new to using sniff spot - this is only my second one I’ve checked out with my pup. We loved that Wendy was thoughtful enough to have not only toys but a tote with a dog bowl, towels, bottles of water, tissues, and poop bags. She really has thought of everything. We left a little early today because it was hot and my pup was tired but I’m sure we’ll be back! Chelsey D.

55This spot was perfect for my dog and I. My dog is friendly but a frustrated greeter so she reacts to animals she can’t interact with. We didn’t see animals of any kind during our visit and even though the yards are close together, we saw no other people while in the yard. There were sounds of people and animals in the distance but nothing loud enough to be an issue or distracting. Over all the yard was clean and large enough that my pup had plenty of space to run. There were tennis balls in the yard and some bones and rope toys on the deck. My dog really loved playing fetch in the yard. Would come back again, good experience! Chelsey D.

55Tala 🐶 and I had a wonderful time in their backyard! Plenty of space! There were kids out on the other side of the fence for their recess which provided entertainment for Tala when she was exhausted from doing zoomies and playing fetch.
We will definitely be back. Thank you for providing a space for us to have fun!Kristen D.

55Wendy has the perfect yard for our dog to play and for us to enjoy with him. It was clean and well manicured. She had toys, including some that were interactive for him to enjoy. Water if needed too. I felt comfortable and felt our little dog was totally safe running around. Thank you so much Wendy. I will look forward to visiting again!!Susan L.

FAQ About West Hartford 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.
