55Bill went way above and beyond to help me with two big pups! He brought them treats, water, and toys, and provided me some plastic bags as I'd forgotten mine at home. He even helped load them into the car. You can tell he truly loves dogs and simply wants to give what he can to make them happy. Madison L.

55Nice space to play and roll in the grass. Won’t need a chuck it wand, but plenty of space for fetch, or keep away…. and would be great for 2 dogs who love to wrestle. Bill was a pleasant host. Bridget H.

55Lucy had a great time at this spot! I love the privacy fence. There were a couple of dogs on the other side of the fence that were running the fence and barking at Lucy. She handled it well, and I wasn’t concerned at all. If you have a dog that would not handle that well, just be mindful. The host left waste bags and water for Lucy which was really nice! There was plenty of room to run, and at full speed! Lucy is exhausted, which makes Mom happy! I highly recommend this spot! I look forward to our next visit.holly K.

55The place is great! It was very big and my dog loved running around in it! They left us a bowl of water, which was very sweet! It’s a great place to get some training done since it has very few distractions. Veronica H.

55This is my second visit to this spot. Lucy, my GSD loves it here. I can tell she feels safe, and she just cuts loose and has a great time! I can’t say she does that with every Sniff we visit, which has nothing to do with the hosts, but Lucy is a very anxious dog by nature and new places causes her anxiety. Lucy really does feel safe and she can run and play without always paying attention to her surroundings. I love that so much. The hosts make it easy for me to want to return many more times. I left my ball there last time and the host remembered that it was Lucy’s ball and brought it to me before we even got into the back yard. There was water and poop bags as well. I’ve been to a lot of different Sniff Spots, this one is special and I would recommend it 100% holly K.

55Another great time at this Sniff Spot! This is Lucy’s favorite, and soon as we pull into the development, she knows where we are going and starts getting really excited! When we open the gate she starts running because she knows it’s play time and I’m going to be throwing the balls across the yard. It makes me so happy that she doesn’t try to get out of the gate to get to my car. She actually doesn’t want to leave!!holly K.

FAQ about our Pickerington 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 Pickerington 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 105 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 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.
