55Such a great spot! My dog is reactive to other dogs so having areas like yours to use is so helpful. The water and water dish is such a thoughtful touch, especially in these warmer temps. Thanks for sharing your spot with us! Kelsey S.

55Love seeing this Spot in all seasons! The wildflowers, wild grapevine, and greenery is beautiful. Seriously appreciated the water cooler for the pups and the bug spray for me! Only a few die-hard gnats tried to buzz me & the pups were mostly unbothered by insects. Did pull a tick or two off one of the dogs, so make sure to check everyone thoroughly - dang things are everywhere! We'll be back with the next cool front. Thanks for having such an amazing Spot!!Libby B.

55First time visiting during the evening, did not disappoint! The pups saw deer, turkeys and los of rabbits just on the other side of fence. Zooming around the 3 acres chasing their toys was a blast! Tess V.

55This. Place. Is. Great.
I took my pup Rowan here and we had a great time. There's so much to check out. There's paths under the shade of trees, undergrowth - which means plenty of places to sniff, a nice central area with a box of toys for your dog, some bug sprays and sunblock for yourself, seating, and even a screened in pavilion in case the bugs are too much. The pavilion is for humans only though! They have a cute little fence around it to deter the pups from trying to explore it.
One of our favorite spots was a long and wide dirt path that lead from the entrance to the central area that was perfect for playing fetch. I had to rein in using the Chuck-It a little bit as I was concerned about accidentally winging the ball into the undergrowth, but the dirt path was packed and hard enough that the ball would bounce along it for a long way.
We circled the perimeter several times, getting our steps in, and we didn't encounter any other dogs or humans around the fenceline although there are other buildings in sight on at least one side.
I know we'll be back here again.Nate K.

55This place is a dream!
We have dogs who don’t care about playing with other dogs and love to explore on trails, and they had the best time wandering around sniffing and enjoying a beautiful serene space.
Everything you could possibly need (toys, sunscreen, bug spray, water) is provided and thoughtfully arranged by a shelter for humans to sit in. Directions getting to the gate to enter were very clear and easy to follow.
Thank you for sharing your space for dogs and humans to enjoy. We will be back soon! Brianna S.

55It was an absolutely beautiful night to take the puppers for a sniff-sploration. One of the BEST spots, in our opinion- kept the dogs busy with noses to the ground. Enjoy seeing it in all seasons as the leaves & flowers change. Thank you! Libby B.

55This spot is awesome! Little trails to explore, lots of places to sniff, toys if your dog is into that. Layla loved her time here; she ran all over the place & it was great for recall training, as there’s wooded areas to play hide & come. We’ll definitely be back! Alicia Z.

55One of the best sniffspots, in my opinion! Tons of space for your pup to run around and for you to walk around too and get some steps in :) Tons of shaded areas, but also perfect grassy spots to soak up the sun if you wanted to!
The commute to this location is 30+ minutes from where I live, and I ended up showing up late to my reservation, and Gary/Stacy messaged me and offered to let me stay 15 minutes past my time slot since the next visitors wouldn’t be there right away. It was so kind of them to offer and I really appreciated it 😊 This spot is totally worth the drive for me and my reactive boy, Santo. We don’t go to dog parks so this is the perfect place for him to run around off leash, smell all the smells, and enjoy himself in peace. The privacy is perfect and I felt relaxed being there, knowing I didn’t have to worry about any triggers for him.
We will definitely be back! ❤️Avery H.

FAQ about our Dayton 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.
