55Beckie's spot was perfect for our dog after the Champaign Bark District wouldn't allow us in for one day. Ample room for him to run and very high fences both tired him out and kept him safe. She also brought out water for him as well. Would definitely book again when we're back in Champaign!Craig G.

55Our first ever sniffspot and it was amazing! Our dog had the best time and is definitely wore out. The place is very secure and safe for reactive dogs. We did not come in contact with any human or dog the whole time. Definitely recommend!! Neeva B.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience, and we are very happy. Beckie's place was clean, spacious, and we did not see any people or animals during our visit (which is SUPER important for my reactive girl!) My pup was able to run around, sniff, and sunbathe carefree! I am grateful Beckie's place was available, so we could enjoy the sunshine! We would love to visit again.Stephanie T.

55It was a perfect amount of space for my corgi to run and enjoy himself. We don’t have a real yard, just a patio, and he’s reactive to other dogs so it was great to be able to get him outside and get some energy out and enjoy the lovely day. Host was very responsive and brought a bowl of water out when I asked. Great visitAndrea S.

55Very nice backyard for my two dogs to get their wiggles out! I was skeptical at first but the pictures make it look smaller than it actually is! My dogs absolutely love it!Olivia W.

55Shade, spacious, and the hose was extra fun on this hot day! Great for zoomiez and privacy fence was nice to enjoy a human and dog free zone. Peaceful and a great way for us to relax before hitting the road back to the city. Chrissy B.

55The yard is huge and lovely! Plenty of shade from the trees and lots of room to run around. The fence is very solid and sturdy and I did not worry about my small dog squeezing out anywhere. There is open access to under the deck and the patio so if you have a dog who likes to get into things you will have to keep an eye out! But my dog had so much fun playing and running around it was not hard to keep her out of trouble. There are some distractions like neighborhood sounds and small critters but overall it’s a very quiet neighborhood and my dog and I spent some time chilling too. We’ll be back!Alina S.

55Tulip and I haven’t been here in a while but she absolutely loves it every time!! Plenty of room to run and interesting things to smell. It’s lovely having some shade from the nice big trees so she can take a little break in the shade after running. Alina S.

55Sucha cute space! My dog loved sniffing and romping around. Plenty of space to throw toys or play chase. Bonus for birdwatchers like myself - during our rest periods we'd just watch the birds hang out! :) Christine O.

55We see a LOT of Sniffspots. And every one is different. But there must be some Zoomie energy in this yard bc Apollo speeds around this space every time. It’s so fun to watch!!Chrissy B.

55Very nice space. The yard isn’t too big but if you have a smaller dog there is plenty of room to run around. If you have a bigger dog, it would be a good place to practice training or exposure to other places. The yard was nice and flat with no holes so I didn’t have to worry about running around with my dog and twisting an ankle. Fence was sturdy, private, and secure. There was room under the porch for my dog to try and squeeze under so just watch if you have a smaller dog. But we had a great time and were able to explore and play lots! The porch and seating area is nice and my dog had fun launching herself off the steps lol! Alina S.

FAQ about our Champaign 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Champaign 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 22 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 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.
