55This was the perfect space for our standard poodle to run and play!! I have a pretty anxious pup, and she has not approved of any of the other sniffspots we’ve tried. I was worried that it would be too much for her, but she was so excited to let loose out here! She has never been able to run so freely with so much open space. There was plenty of shade to keep her cool, since she wasn’t ready to try the pool yet.
The fence is secure all the way around with the driveway gate closed, (small pups might be able to shimmy under the gate), and everything is clearly very well kept. Our other Sniffspot became unavailable, so my request was very last minute - but I got an extremely quick response from the owner who was happy to answer my questions and allow the booking! We hope to start visiting regularly, I can’t even express how grateful we are to have been able to use this space. :)Lauren S.

55Easy to find. Large parking area. There was a lot of shade as well as large open areas. Duke enjoyed chasing bunnies and zooming around in a safe place. Cecelia S.

55It was very peaceful. Just you and your dog. Grass was green and well kept. Two big oak trees in the back for resting in the shade. Pool was nice, my Jack loved it!
Barbara’s is not far from me…but, when there it feels like you’re miles away. Good for your dog and it’s human. Dionne J.

55What a wonderful space. My dogs loved having room to run in the grass, flop down under the big oak trees, and investigate all the exciting smells. The gates wouldn't contain a small dog, but they were fine for my dogs (60 lbs). The fence was in good shape as well. Thank you, Barbara!JoLee P.

55My 3 dogs had an absolute blast, clean environment and the pool was so much fun for my labs. They ran around the big yard the second they got out of the car! This place is also small dog friendly which was perfect for my Pomeranian.
Thank you for having us, we will be back! Darby S.

55This sniff spot was just what we needed with our girl. Beautiful property, screened in area to relax and a clean, clear pool to cool off in AND close to home! We will definitely be returning! Becky M.

55This is a beautiful property and I’m so glad Barbara is sharing it with Sniffspot guests! The pool is awesome and my dog got further in than he has in the past. Plenty of room to run in the yard and nice shade trees in back. Gerry-Anna J.

55This is our 2nd time using this place and is probably going to be my go to as long as it’s a Sniffspot. We stopped going to dog parks because of the low quality of dog owners and this is a great place for my dog to play with her friends 1 on 1 . This place is always clean and private and easily accessible. I recommend it to everyone I know. Angel D.

55The yard had a big variety of open space, shade and areas of sniffing interest for the dogs. Joshua was friendly and welcoming. My dogs had a great time. FYI, there are dogs on the property. They were confined in the house.Cecelia S.

FAQ about our Malabar 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Malabar 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 101 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 18 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.
