55What a gorgeous and surprising morning in nature. My no interest in toys for 15 years dog found a toy he wanted forever. All he did was carry it around and to the car, but this is a HUGE move for this dog! I'm unable to post a video.
I blame his new interest on the rescued girl I brought in last Thursday. She loves her new toys, and he watches her play with them but never engages or tries a toy out. This stuffed elephant today, though....melted my heart seeing him with it!
We're so thankful for access to this property and can't wait til our newly rescued girl can join us!Heather G.

55Great place for my pups to stretch their legs- sun and shade, private and secure. This is my first experience with Sniffspot and glad heard about it! I didn’t see a place to fill up water bowls- lots of hoses out to sprinklers that weren’t connected, but I didn’t investigate too thoroughly because I had water in my van and I didn’t want to snoop around a property that’s not mine.

55This is an amazing spot! Open space to run, short trails under beautiful trees, and a very considerate host. He left a sprinkler on for us to play in and filled a doggie pool with a few inches of water to give our pups an opportunity to splash around. He also left toys out as well as a water bowl. We will definitely be returning!Victoria M.

55Took my newly rescued pup (3 weeks ago) with my old guy thinking they'd run and play, but somehow his outside chill and explore only vibes rubbed off on her.
Now I have 2 boring outside dogs....good in the bad of that is I know they'll do great on our trip to mountains in a few months. Now I need to find something for the new girl's motion sickness.Heather G.

55Found this place when our Dock Diving training plans fell through.
Owner was nice and considerate when we arrived letting us know that one of the neighbors was cutting trees and she wanted to make sure our dogs would be ok with the sounds.
Facilities were exactly what we needed for the day.Jasmine P.

FAQ about our Mount Dora 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 Mount Dora 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 309 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 46 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.
