55Super impressive set up! Huge pastures and safe areas with proper fencing. Also the beautiful scenery with the palms and mossy trees was a bonus. My reactive dog was so happy to roam free and just had the time of her life today. Definitely will be back!Josie H.

55Easy to find & enter with the directions provided. Great huge space - exactly what we were looking for. Some dirt areas so be prepared for your pup to get a little dirty. Rachel D.

55This spot was great! Lots of open space for the dogs to run, play, and stretch their legs. The fencing around all paddocks was secure. The host was very accommodating when we needed to push our start time back slightly due to heavy traffic while passing through the area. Thank you for making this space available - the dogs had a blast! 😊Emily D.

55I’ll definitely go again! It’s so beautiful & peaceful! Ok , Here are my pros & cons!
Pro:
A lot of sniffing , tress, bushes, curious sniffers will fully appreciate it! Everything was clean, water bowls w hose, pool pristine, places for doggo parents to rest
Easy in & out 5/5
Cons:
No house number anywhere- I was worried to just open someone else’s gate/house 😬I finally opened the app & found someone pic against the gate and I shouted hello for a minute just to be sure — the gate is wonky - so they added an engineering screw (smart) but the bottom lock doesn’t meet the slot so I was concerned someone could open it n let my dogs out or that my very clever dog would push it open — I think it’s safe & im just bad at figuring that kinda thing out tbh haha so I just walked around w my doggos … lol 😝 but I’m so paranoid-I’ll be back probably next week I loved it so much n it’s so beautiful & peaceful ☺️ you could meditate while they SNIFF! Still it’s 5/5 really awesome place!!! Dolly & Wayne are passed out lol 😝 Michelle J. L.

55Great space for you and your furry friend to spend some one on one with no distractions. This sniffspot is in a quiet neighborhood. The access point to the yard is easy, and the fenced area is secure with plenty of room to romp around, play ball, or swim. We will be back for more fun! Holly B.

55Such a treat for my pup! Area was clean and maintained! She got to swim until she was exhausted and she loved every second. Easy entry instructions. If you are visiting in the summer I would recommend bug spray just because of the area. Loved everything about this spot!Faithann S.

55My dog had a great time using the pool! The yard was very quiet and tall privacy fencing all around the yard. There were a lot of leaves in the pool which was no big deal and we cleaned some of them out when we arrived. We brought some of our dogs water toys, but the host even had some toys available which was nice. This was our first time using sniffspot and we’d definitely use this one again for the pool!Colleen K.

FAQ about our Ellenton 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ellenton 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 223 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 27 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.
