Why rent a private dog park in Pensacola, Florida?
55This spot was wonderful! I have two larger pups and it was plenty of room for them to run and exercise. It’s flat so you don’t have to worry about them getting out of site, they provided toys and water! There was a neighbor dog outside and my reactive pup thought about trying to fence fight, but the fence wasn’t see through so it was easy to recall her away. We went during the evening and they left out little mosquito bracelets! 10/10 recommend!Chloe W.

55Very peaceful and serene area. Plenty of room for your dog to run around. Private area. Very nice host. Just bring your bug spray though, it's woody so there's some skeeters. Definitely would go back again. Also don't make the mistake I did, double-check your GPS address when you enter it because there is a road named Bronson on the opposite side of town and that is where my Google Maps originally took me.Amanda R.

55My 4 dogs had a great time running all across the yard. And we had a rousing game of fetch… the yard was longer than my throwing arm was strong so they loved it. There was water and lights when it got dark. They even had some natural bug spray available for the biting insects that came out at duskJill C.

55This SniffSpot location is wonderful! It was extremely easy to find and when we arrived, we couldn't believe all the trees on the property. You really do feel you're in the woods. We walked all around, threw balls for our dogs, and watched them run and play. Outside the fenced area (right behind where you park outside the gate) is a long wooded trail around a quarter mile long! Although not totally enclosed, the trail is totally secluded until you reach the end. So we let our dogs loose there as well. Toni, the owner of this SniffSpot location, was very helpful. She answered questions ahead and was extremely friendly via her texts. We will absolutely be returning here - it was a great time for us and our dogs!Kip K.

55We entered through the chain link gate on the right of the house. There is a privacy gate on the left that looks seldom used. There are trashcans at the gate I threw the poop in. Nice yard with a huge shade tree. Chair & water provided. Nice neighbors & dog nextdoorKaren M.

55Such an amazing spot for the pups to run around! They are in an arena with jumps, sand, and space to run. If you have an escape artist though or a pup who is not horse friendly, please be aware it is a working farm/ranch and to be respectful of the animals already living here! :)Rena G.

FAQ about our Pensacola 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 Pensacola 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 57 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 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.
