55The yard is beautiful and big enough for the doggies to get their zoomies out. Bruce is a great host, providing doggie bags, bug spray, hand sanitizer, and even a couple treats. It was wonderful! Jessa b.

55This is such a lovely space! Lani had a wonderful time sniffing and running around, rolling in the grass, and head tilting at the fish in the small pond :)
The fences that border neighboring houses are tall and gave us ample privacy. We heard dogs barking every now and then in the neighborhood but they were from a distance and not in view. It did not disrupt our visit!
The host gives great instruction getting into the space, was kind and responsive! Amanda V.

55Such a great spot. Both our dogs loved running and exploring this location. The only sad part was that one of dogs left sad because they wanted to stay and the other was completely exhausted. Thanks so much!!Bradley A.

55The host and the spot were very nice! Our dogs had a blast, we will definitely come back. One thing to note-we did not see any dogs, but both neighbors had dogs at the fence barking at ours. There was water for the dogs, treats, and bags for cleaning up. We had a great time at our first SniffSpot! Emily L.

55This sniffspot is absolutely stunning! It has a beautiful huge yard, they even provide you with clean fresh water, treats, waste bags and even bug spray that came in pretty handy.
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to let one of my dogs off leash and he was so excited to run around freely and sniff around, as for my oder dog she enjoyed running around with him and play fetch. Definitely recommend! Jessica J.

55HUGE beautiful yard, spacious and chairs provided. My dogs loved it. My husky accidentally fell into the koi pond after I startled him trying to get him away from it, but at least I know he knows how to swim now😅 I had an awesome time and the pups loved itRy T.

55Beautiful huge yard. This yard is everything I dream of having one day. Coco ran so so much and had the time of her life. She actually rolled on her back in the grass and I’ve never seen her do that before. We had a really really great time. The yard had no gaps or holes and was able to keep my wild thing inside.

55Mine and my brothers dog absolutely loved this sniff spot. The dogs loved running around their big open yard and getting all their zoomies out. There was a clean water bowl for the pups and some treats on the table!! Would highly recommend taking your pups here! Mary R.

55Huge yard, just like the pictures. They left poop bags and hand sanitizer readily available and my dog LOVED her visit! Lots of room to run, play, and sniff as she wanted. Host was very kind and messaged me beforehand to let me know how it works (first time using sniffspot). They also had treats and tennis balls available upon request :)Amari S.

55Our 2nd time here and 100% worth the drive from NSL. Still a perfect spot for our dogs to play and just run. Beautiful spacious yard with awesome landscaping. Our dogs also enjoyed the treats left by the owner and the ball they threw out to us. As always we appreciate the full water bowl. We love this place! See you again soon 😁Nissa H.

FAQ About West Haven 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. 33% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the West Haven 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 72 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 162 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.
