55I didn’t read carefully so didn’t realize they had dogs and other animals always present. I also booked at the last minute and don’t think we were on the same page about date and time. My lab has a lot of anxiety around other animals and we are working on reducing and correcting that. Owner was very willing to reschedule/refund money. I wasn’t able to take her up on offer, as my

55Great sniffspot for dogs who like swimming or just lounging by the water! Lots of grass for them to walk around the pond as well. Only thing we couldn’t find was a bin for dog poop bags. Otherwise a great time. Rosie B.

55Both Poptart and Sophie McFlurry had a great time running the trails, in the clover and in between the corn rows! But BEST of all, they both learned to swim today!! Spotless property and just a gorgeous outing. We'll be back again.Pat E.

55This place was great! My dogs loved the water so much that we didn't even explore anything else! The parts of the property we saw were clean. Yes, there's a road nearby without a fence, but it was far enough from the parking area and the pond and not much used, so I wasn't worried about my dogs. You can hear dogs barking, but my reactive dogs couldn't find the source (no line of sight) and so quickly gave up interest.
I plan to come back soon!Katie E.

55My dogs had lots of fun swimming in the pond! There is a large mowed unfenced area for dogs to run around and explore and a fenced in area to play in while waiting for the dogs to dry off a bit.Karlee R.

FAQ about our Boyd 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.

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 9 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
