55My dog Bentley and I enjoyed this clean and spacious location immensely! We were greeted by the host and he explained the many amenities. Entry from the street is sloped and there are a number of steps into the play area. Bentley indulged in much sniffing and exploring the yard and then played the 'find it' game with me - I tossed treats for him to find. We look forward to another visit at this location. phyllis e.

55Paws and Relax was the perfect spot for Travis and Ben to get some off-leash time and for me to try Sniffspot for the first time in a spacious, clean, comfortable yard with sitting area and plenty of amenities. Ryan's husband was there to greet me and made us feel at home. We'll definitely be back! Ana B.

55The space was amazing. There is a dog next door that is not in a fence but is on a leash and that was a distraction to Cheef for a few minutes but once we got inside the back yard he was able to refocus. I bought a chair, a drink and some toys lol. I will definitely be doing this at least once a week. The host was nice. There is a hill to walk up.Joy K.

Ryan provided towels, water, toys, bug spray, literally everything we could have needed! We will definitely be back.Krisandra W.

FAQ about our Ellenwood 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 Ellenwood 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 472 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 67 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.
