55Nice open space with great visibility and thoughtful touches from Annika! Great spot for us to work on practicing recall, and think our boy saw a rooster for the first time :) One note is you can tell there has been a lot of working clearing out some areas, so some of the ground cover includes dried sticker bushes so may just want to check paws when leaving. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us, will be back again! Jaimisa & Yelias G.

55We loved our visit to this sniffspot! Directions were good and it was nice to drive in-so we didn’t have to leash the pups. Plenty of fresh water and toys to play with…and a nice covered area. Our dogs loved it!Sara G.

55This place is awesome! I love the security of driving the car in with excited dogs and the setup is great! The grass is a type that is fine seeded, so no foxtail problems or fur full of briars. The combo of the huge grassy area and the quiet wood is lovely. The owner has done fantastic work to get rid of the invasive plants and the TLC really shows. A big bucket of fresh water at the top and at the bottom were much appreciated by the dogs. It is a very thoughtful setup. Karen J.

55Mr. Blue Bear and I loved this spot! It was very easy to find, and the signage around the spot made us feel welcome. Everything was clean and just as described. Blue Bear gives it an A++ for sniffability, ball search and rescue, and bunny hops through the tall grass. A really great spot!! We will be back!Rebekah J.

55Pretty sure doggie had a blast 'cause he has been zonked out next to me ever since we got back. Saw some deer, geese, and chickens. But nothing that he could engage...so all good. Plenty of drinking water for him in a couple of spots. Also nice having the trails cut through the tall grass so he could run full out. Thanks for opening up your property to us!Jeanne A.

55Fantastic spot! Dogs loved running all around the field in the tall grass. They have a nice variety of toys for you to use while there if you need them. Several buckets of water and a couple of seating spots. I brought my own but they also had poop bags available. Angel R.

55We had a fantastic time. My dog loves the open space to run and all the things to sniff. We really appreciate the well appointed covered area with tons of fun toys. When the rain comes that will be a major perk. We will be back for sure. Thanks for sharing your space with my dog and IRoland B.

55My dogs loved exploring this big field, especially with all the variety.. the long and short grass, the little pathways, the treed area at the back. It was a lot of fun for all of us! The water, toys and table and chairs were very appreciated as well :)Madeeha C.

55Well fenced and very large area to explore. Appreciated being able to drive into and park inside the fenced area, and the shelter because it rained on our first visit. Some concern of the new blackberry leaves that seem to sprout out of nowhere in the field. We will be back.Jessie S.

55This was a great, secure location to let our dog run! He loved the tall grass as well as exploring the forest-y area at the back down the hill. The dog toys, towels, etc. for use were great to have as well. Elliott S.

55My pup loved this Sniffspot! It was exactly as described with paths throughout the long grasses. My girl was a little too fascinated by the chickens so we kept our visit short. I will definitely book again when she can bring a buddy. Jeri C.

FAQ about our Elma dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water 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. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water 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.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
