55Another great visit to Lazy Acres. Bella loves it more every visit AND we were able to check out the new unfennced trails (on leash) which are just as great as the 5-acres of fenced area. Bella so appreciated the second “watering hole” at the new trails. This family has gone to great lengths with their property and we couldn’t be more grateful!!! Thanks so much for always making our visit wonderful!!

55This is a beautifully maintained property and so well run. Everything is thought of. We look forward to going back in the fall when it’s cooler out. We took a reactive shelter dog on a field trip and seeing the donkey and turkeys was really good for herLaura S.

55Beautiful place with amazing hosts! They even reached out before hand and filled the kiddie pool with fresh water for my pittie! The trails and signs were adorable, it was fun to watch my suburban dog explore and investigate the farm animals. The beginning is stocked with everything you might need (I ended up going back to use the bug spray which was a life saver). 10/10 would recommend!Kayla Z.

55We loved the property! We normally do long leash walks and this fenced in trail area was awesome to test out how our dog handled off leash walks and he did great after about 20 minutes of being on leash. There were toys, poop bags, areas to sit if you need to, and marked trails either information as well. We will definitely be back.Dale B.

55Lovely spot with a variety of well marked trails. The benches on trails were appreciated by the humans. Host was friendly with clear communication as to parking. My senior dog stayed on leash and from her smile and nose to the ground had an enjoyable excursion. We would return. Heather P.

55As mentioned previously, Bella’s FAVORITE Sniffspot. She absolutely LOVES this massive 5 Acre fenced wooded area as much as I do.
It gives her a chance to “explore” in an area that is “wooded” and not just one open area with no obstructions (I.e. trails, woods, etc).
This is the number one reason Bella and I continue to visit this wonderful Sniffspot and will continue to do so.
Although we don’t get to enjoy this spot as much (due to distance), it will remain our first choice!!
Kudos to Jacqui and family for sharing their wonderful FENCED wooded acreage property to us that can’t take our “pups” to a “regular “ dog park.
We appreciate you so much!! Again, Thank you! We love every minute we’re there. And of course we love JoJo and always say hello. 😊Vickie L.

55This spot was fantastic! Our dogs love exploring new places, but it is not always ideal for us to take them to dog parks or other public trails, with one of them being reactive toward other dogs and the other terrified of new people. It was great knowing that we had the entire place to ourselves. The area was fully fenced so we were able to let our dog with good recall off leash. There was cold water and bowls available near the entrance, which was nice to have for our dogs after exploring. We will be back! Katie H.

FAQ about our Marengo 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 Marengo 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 376 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 39 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.
