55Fantastic sniff spot! Towels, toys, and water was provided. There was also sunscreen for my husband and I as well. It took a little bit to teach one of my pups to use the pup plank so she can get in and out of the pool, but once she was comfortable with it she had a blast. My one pup that isn’t a fan of swimming also got in a few times to cool down. The yard was also great for them to sniff around after swimming and they chased a few squirrels and birds. Very clean yard and pool area. We were having so much fun that I completely forgot to take some pictures. We will definitely book again! Sarah S.

55It was my first time bringing our dog to swim after having a leg amputation and he loved it!! Our pups had so much fun! Loved everything about this pool and yard. We will definitely be coming back!! Our one dog hates swimming so I liked that she could sit around the pool deck or yard while our other one swam. Shreeya B.

55What a fantastic location! We booked 1 hour during a hot afternoon for a session in the pool (working on low impact exercise for older doggie). It was perfect, the yard was more than ample for "zoomies". Thank You and big ups to the host.Anthony M.

55OMG!! Amazing! What a beautiful treat for our furry friends. The yard and the pool was super clean, spacious, endless toys to play with. My Buddy had so much fun, this was his first time swimming in a pool. This was a birthday treat and it couldn’t have gone better. We will be coming back and definitely recommend taking your pups here for a splash. Thank you for sharing this gem of a sniffs spot! BudMarley T.

FAQ About Clayton 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. 9% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Clayton 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 286 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 480 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
