55Anja is so friendly, she walked me around to show me what there is to do, had fresh water and towels and balls all set out for my little one. My stay was for an hour and a half and let me tell you I used up the entire time! We played inside the gated agility area for about 45 mins, then did a couple laps around the trail, well cut you would never get lost and then finished up by throwing balls in her recall area. I will definitely be coming back! Tori B.

55We brought Simba over for some open space for him to play around in and we all really enjoyed this space! The host was extremely nice and showed us around when we first arrived. I would recommend anyone to come and visit this spot!Sandra A.

55Anja was very kind and met us as soon as we got to her Sniffspot! She showed us around, explained what there was to offer, and had made towels, bug spray, and extra toys available to us. The trails were well maintained. We would definitely recommend and come back again!Reese U.

55Anja was helpful and welcoming, she runs a dog rescue there!
The Sniffspot had so much to do and Anja provided us with toys, balls, filled up pool, water, towels, wipes and bug spray. What a fantastic host! The dogs loved running around and enjoyed all the smells. They especially liked dipping in the cool pool as it was a 80+ degree day. I couldn’t find the trails she told us about but that’s okay it was a little too hot for the dogs to be out long.
Do recommend especially if your dogs like to do agility training! Hector G.

55The space is great! There is a fully enclosed area with agility equipment, a kiddie pool and plenty of balls to play fetch. Anja is a kind and gracious host. There is also a walking trail you can take your pup. My dog is always nervous at first in a new environment, but was eventually splashing around in the pool. She liked the trail, too. I definitely recommend this amazing place!Afshan K.

FAQ about our Elgin dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
