55We had an incredible time here! Our pup is uncomfortable around strangers and other dogs. We saw a few people at the house on the property but they kept to themselves and were very far away - she didn't even notice! She had a great time romping through the fields and it was so relaxing to not have to worry about triggers and just let her be a dog. Michelle R.

55Love this property! Just note, corn is planted so, dress accordingly to walk rows and go to the perimeter of the crop for easy to walk areas. Our dogs had the best time playing in the small wooded areas and running through the butterflies and corn rows! Jonathan H.

55We had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back! Our host was so kind and accommodating. We were able to meet and get a run down of the property without stressing out our dog with stranger danger. The whole crew had a great time running through the woods. Lots of great mushrooms, too! We found the creek towards the end and it was the perfect way to finish up. We’re looking forward to our next visit!Gabrielle J.

55My dog had a blast running through the woods and playing in the creek. Jacqueline was so welcoming and helpful. The property is set back from any roads so I felt completely comfortable letting my dog off leash for the whole visit. We will definitely book again!Zoe R.

55This was my first time letting my dogs run off leash and it was such a great place to do it! The road isn’t close, a creek for water loving dogs(my lab jumped right in) and plenty of dog intriguing smells. Just make sure you wear shoes with traction! The layer of leaves is thick and can be slippery on the small slopes. Fran P.

55We loved exploring Jacqueline’s spot! Trails were a little tricky to navigate with all the leaves this time of year, but our dog of course found her way to the creek no problem! Jacqueline was friendly and helpful and even gave us some homemade dog treats that our dog LOVED! We will be back for sure!Becca F.

55The woods and the fields were both lovely! My dogs even splashed around the creek which was very brave of them since they both hate water! 😂 FYI for anyone whose dogs are scared of loud noises- there were a lot of loud gun shots while we were there.Caitlin W.

FAQ about our Hanover 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.
