55We are so happy that we took a chance on a newbie to Sniffspot. This was our first experience with Sniffspot too. The property is huge - length & width. Huge tree to sit under for shade with a chair provided. Our host kindly offered water & shade / ceiling fan out of the elements if needed, and a trash can for any potty bags. This is completely open. To fully enjoy the property, you will need either a long lead/leash, pups with excellent recall, or pups that are trained on e-collar. At the back of the property is a sweet little private trail/woods with two entrances. The woods have a beautiful little sitting spot alongside a pond for a break if need be. LOTS of room to sniff, run, play fetch, practice scent work. Clean. Grass was mowed. Trail in woods was discoverable. You name it. Wonderful first experience. Hope we get to come back soon ! Thank you again ! Lexi M.

55Pups loved it! Beautiful wide river front property! Perfect for river running- large enough to splash but not deep enough to be risky for new swimmers! Will come again. Rochelle P.

55Such a cool spot! Took my 3 reactive-ish dogs who had never been near natural water or anything and they loved it. Thought it would be little deeper but it didn’t go farther than their belly which was a nice introduction to the water. There’s also more surrounding spaces to explore too that I didn’t realize which was cool. The river is shared by neighbors which made me a little nervous at first but it was so quiet and we didn’t have any issues. Such a nice host too, thanks Michael! Maddy G.

55This is a beautiful park, very well kept with nice landscaping. It’s on a hillside so even after wet weather the grass was mostly dry. There was one swampy area in the far corner. Kendra F.

55Secure fenced yard with enough room to run and chase ball. Lots of stuff for my dog to sniff. Wear rain boots if there’s been a lot of rain. I had a very happy calm dog afterwards. Definitely would recommend.Anne F.

55Exactly as described! I even had a question while there and Megan was quick to respond.
Note for newcomers: there’s a dog next door that was barking INSIDE the house and was visible from the glass doors. Didn’t bother our dogs, but worth noting for others. Description did say other dogs can occasionally be heard or seen.
If it rained recently, bring a towel! There’s one low spot in the yard (truly, the rest drained really well), and my dog looovveess mud, so I guess mission accomplished because he had a blast. Tana Z.

55We went on a humid morning so there were a few bugs out. The fence is great, no concern about the pups getting out. My lab really enjoyed the small pool there. There is a picnic table to sit at. Danielle S.

55Megan and Frank’s spot was a great place to bring our dog to work on her training! She was able to run around safely in the fenced in yard. Everything was very clean, we would definitely come back! Nina P.

55Today was our first visit and it was so much fun to see my dog running around, sniffing, and playing after being cooped up in our apartment. We didn’t stay the whole time because it was about 97° out 🥵. The enclosed area is great, large, and accommodating. Bear and I will definitely schedule another appointment when it’s a bit cooler out. Thank you! Alex C.

55So happy that my boyfriend and I were able to take our dog here! We have an 80lb reactive mutt, and unfortunately live in an apartment. He is content enough, but I am happy we were able to bring him here. The place was secure and had a lot of room for my guy to run around. Will definitely be returning! Megan A.

FAQ about our Elyria 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 Elyria 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 141 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 29 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.
