55If I could leave Michelle 10 Stars I would. This is absolutely a place that is wonderful for a dog that really does not get along with other dogs or people. However, my dog warmed up to Michelle immediately which only tells me she is a huge dog lover. I can't thank you enough Michelle because he really needed to have some play time off leash and you provided exactly what we needed. You are providing a much needed service that I think sometimes gets overlooked because not everybody has a fur baby that can go to a dog park. I'll definitely be back. Thanks again....❤️🐾melissa j.

55We loved Michelle’s yard! It’s a great size for our two dogs to run around and get out some energy. She has a wonderful yard right on Opelousas with easy entry/exit and parking, toys, fresh water, shady space for us to hang and even a couple treats for our boys. We will definitely be back!

55It is really nice she has some new additions for training, tricks, etc. She also added lighting and some seating so I imagine it's very pretty after dark. There's access to fresh water and it's well kept. Michelle is a very nice host and my very rambunctious Pitbull loves her and going to her sniff spot I highly recommend it... it's the one place where I feel comfortable letting him off leash so he can be free to run and play because he can be aggressive. melissa j.

55My rottie absolutely loved Michelle’s dog park-even if he was too much of a wimp to climb the ramp! Michelle speaks dog, and genuinely loves every pup she meets! Tina B.

55When we heard the sniffspot was coming to the neighborhood, we couldn’t wait for it.
Both of our babies are somewhat disabled in a way, so this felt like the perfect thing for them.
They absolutely made themselves at home quickly, and even got themselves a treat!
The dream squirrels are getting a run for their money today, it’s nap time! 😋 Can’t wait to be back again when the weather cheers up! The splash pad is a must-try!🎊adam t.

55We have two reactive dogs and it was so great to be able to let them off the leash to run and play! Hopefully, in future visits we can get them interested in the obstacle course because it’s really cool! It’s on a very quiet part of the street so we only had dogs walk by on the neutral ground once and no pedestrians. Perfect for our crazy dogs. Lisa S.

55Oh boy, a time was had! My girls are 50 and 65 lbs, and there was plenty of room for both of them to run and wear themselves out, lol. Lots of grass and toys. Shaded area with chairs and umbrella. Water and bowls. And the splash pad was amazing for our waterbug pittie. It's also a quiet street/area. Genuinely felt like a mini dog park. And Michelle is very friendly and accommodating. This is the best thing going for my girls to let loose. Especially since we live on the Westbank (it was let than 10 minutes away). You won't be disappointed. We sure weren't!!!Jeremy R.

55Buddy enjoyed playing with Cherry in her backyard. She's getting a good rest now that we're home & that's just what she needed! I found the backyard very relaxing and somehow it felt set apart from the busy day to day. I'll definitely be back. Haley D.

FAQ about our New Orleans 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.

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.
