55Kristin’s spot is a little off the beaten path, but that’s exactly what we were looking for. We wanted to let our city dog get some fresh air and run around in a safe, outdoor environment on her birthday. Kristin’s yard is spacious, clean, and very well-maintained. She also has several dogs of her own, and she’s very happy to let one/some of them play with your dog - but only if you want. Kristin is very friendly and was also very helpful by doing things like bringing out water, interacting with our dog and taking pictures. Last, but certainly not least, her yard is very scenic, with animals and trees nearby, with great views of the expansive sky. The experience turned out better than we could have hoped for.Marianne S.

FAQ about our Ivanhoe 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. 50% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ivanhoe 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 12 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 5 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.
