55Kathy is such a kind host! She was very welcoming and gave a brief intro to the property. The area was filled with places for Honey to explore! There were more woods-y spots for sniffing and exploring along with a large field to play Fetch, scent work etc. It was also very quiet, no dogs or people seen or heard,Edgar S.

55This place is awesome. Melissa came out about halfway through our stay to check in and give us some info about the yard. There is a pool and the fence is perfect for our pups. There is an apple tree dropping fruit so heads up if your dog is one to eat or roll in stuff, but this was perfect for our pups. We’ll be back!! Michelle D.

FAQ about our Cornelius 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.
