55The yard was clean, easy to find. 5 stars for the host. My only issue was with Sniffspot sending me an email confirmation so I assumed things were fine. I had been at the yard for about 30 minutes when I received a text from host saying her yard wasn’t available. Host was super gracious and visit was cut short but will plan a visit next time :)Sarah J.

55Chance had a lot of fun. The yard was large enough for him to run at full speed and had great spots to explore. Chance says the sticks were plentiful and sturdy haha. Derek’s yard is one of the largest and closest sniff spots to downtown Raleigh which is great if you can’t drive very far. We will be back!Mariam B.

55This was the ideal Sniffspot! Lots of space, plenty of sticks, and various new smells. My dog Josie had an absolute blast and was tuckered out after. Today was our first time and we’re definitely investing in a monthly subscription!!Jenna G.

55What a beautiful space! Our dogs absolutely loved it. Very peaceful and quiet. Enough open space to throw balls and run around but also lots of trees, bushes and corners to sniff and explore. Thank you so much for sharing this space with others. We will be back for sure!Julia B.

55Awesome property with open areas as well as woods and brush for pups to explore! We heard a dog barking sometimes but did not see it which is perfect for my reactive pups. I booked two hours but my two kids were pooped within one! This is probably the best sniffspot in the area :)Maria P.

55This spot was exactly what we needed. Clear instructions, quiet and lots to sniff and explore! Fencing was secure and aside from a bark from the neighbors dog very quiet. We will definitely be back!
Just a heads up, there is a bit of poison ivy in the brushy areas so as the host mentioned having closed tied shoes is helpful! Amy C.

55Great area! Instructions for finding it were helpful and we had a great time. My dog loved exploring the area and we will come back. We could hear the neighbor’s dog but couldn’t see him and it was not constant. Mallory A.

55Great big place to run around, water and some balls included. Well fenced, stay to the right on the dirt road until the end to get to the spot! You, can tell it used to be a mechanic, but didn’t see anything that could be dangerous! Would come back again.Rachel G.

55Doggos loved it. Only complaint was my dogs seemed to love the poison ivy… though I place more blame on them over the Sniffspot itself!
Over thing to note was there was a dog barking as we were pulling in which set off our dogs. This isn’t a negative but just something to potentially be aware of if your dog is reactive.Liselotte R.

FAQ about our Garner 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 Garner 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 188 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 31 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.
