55Very welcoming yard as well as host! Clean space with lots of toys and plenty of water bowls and fresh water available. Loved the shaded seating area for when it was too hot for us and the pups. Nice fully concealing fence so that my reactive pups couldn’t see anything on the other side. Will be back! Jill K.

55We had a great time in Peter’s yard! Lots of smells and plenty of room to run and play :) and lots of fun toys that she loved and water out for the dog! Plenty of options for seating for people also. The fence is very tall with no gaps. Just an FYI if your dog is male reactive, there is a boxing dummy in the backyard that looks like a man. My dog was unsure about it at first and she did bark at it for a little while, but she did get used to it after awhile. If you don’t think your dog would get used to it though this may not be the yard for you. Laney M.

FAQ about our Elm Grove 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Elm Grove 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 114 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 13 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.
