55Orvie had such a fun time getting all his zoomies out. There is a dog in the adjacent yard that barked the whole time. Orvie is not really reactive to other dogs, so he did fine, but if your dog is, I would keep that in mind. Overall, we had a great time. The host was very responsive to our questions and needsHolly M.

55This place was great! Easy to find, great instructions. Very accommodating. I messaged with questions, and they were answered within 10 minutes. There were towels laid out to dry off after playing in the kiddie pools, water guns, dog toys, water to drink for the pups, and bug spray as well! We were there at dusk, and that was very much appreciated. There is also a nice swing for the parents to enjoy. Fully fenced and private. Definitely recommend! Uso will be back with friends. 😀

55This was the perfect spot for shelter dog Erik to stretch his legs and play some fetch on a much-needed break from his kennel. The yard was clean, secure and had plenty of shade to play on a hot day. It was also equipped with a water bowl and toys to keep us entertained. Thank you for hosting us!Gwen R.

55This was our first time using SniffSpot and we are so happy with this location! Beautiful yard for our boys to run and play with areas for us to sit and relax. There is a dog that lives at the property that was a little vocal when we first arrived, but he was not visible from the yard or vocal the whole time so our reactive pup was still able to enjoy himself. There is a fire a pit to be aware of if you have a pup with tendencies to eat things they aren't supposed to, but our boys were too busy playing to notice it much. We came on a very hot day and were happy to find that the yard is very well shaded and there is a hose for water and to cool off with. The yard was pretty well maintained and had a couple of toys to play with, although we brought our own. We all had such a nice time! We love that this spot is still in Indy so it's not a far drive for us since we live in the city. We will definitely be returning! Peyton B.

55Great spot! Large, flat, well maintained yard with plenty of room for fetch or multiple dogs to play. Really close to interstate and convenient. Fence very secure, looked good for reactive dogs as fences had spacers and didn’t look like there was a chance for fence fighting even if dogs were in adjacent lots. Interstate noise can be heard but not really seen. Planes fly over frequently due to airport proximity. Great communication from host and great to have a nice spot in Indy!!Jackie B.

55A nice spot to let our whippet puppies romp a bit. Carrie was very flexible when we had a downpour, and then we were late arriving. We picked up poop but we didn’t see a designated bin, so I put it in the trash. Recommended!Julie B.

55This was Ryker’s first Sniffspot and we couldn’t have been happier. He had plenty of room to run and, well, do a lot of sniffing. Trevor was a gracious host that had everything ready before we arrived. The spot is very secure with a high privacy fence and lots of areas to explore. Toys, water, and treats were provided. There are other pups nearby but that only helped Ryker with the experience. We’ll definitely be back!Don G.

55Melon and I had a great first visit to Trevor's sniffspot! Very secure, no distractions (she's reactive to dogs, also people especially those going faster) and after a good amount of time sniffing and inspecting everything she let off some ultra zoomies! She loved the home made dog treats and I, the provision of sparkling water. We will definitely be back! It's so wonderful to find a nice, quiet and welcoming place for a reactive dog - cause they're good dogs too! Thank you, Trevor!Monni B.

55I cannot thank Trevor enough for welcoming us to his lovely Sniffspot. Everything is perfect! Melon could run around and sniff and decompress, we heard some dogs in the neighborhood but she did fine with that. Hence the happy face chilling on the decking!Monni B.

55Melon loved the Yard. Lots of sniffing done and once she got used to it, it was the perfect spot for some ultra zoomies. There are dog toys available (Melon is not yet sure about the flirtpole) and water, seating. There is one corner in the garden where I kept a bit more of an eye on her - reckon she could potentially jump that wire fence and given that she has a view, I kept her away from that corner. She loved it. We will come back now that she has been here a first time and clearly gave it full marks!Monni B.

FAQ about our Indianapolis 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 Indianapolis 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 264 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 10 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.
