55Jason’s SniffSpot is AWESOME!!!! He has thought of everything and it was just perfect for our pups. Great area to run, lots of toys and balls, and he has taken care to make sure there are no areas to escape. We are only visiting Pittsburgh and it was wonderful to find his oasis for our dogs to run and explore off-leash in a safe place. Thank you!!!SHEILA W.

55Perfect space for our foster dog to get off leash, have some fun playing, and work on her training! The yard was easy to find and although the gate stuck a bit when opening/closing, I just consider this extra security! Lol we could see and hear other dogs from the spot which was helpful in working on her reactivity training, as they weren’t close to us. There were loads of toys available and a raised cot that we borrowed to practice a place cue. There were lots of good sniffs for our girl, and nothing in the area that posed any risk to her at all. We loved it and will definitely return! Torin F.

55Super space! Extremely nice, grass was cut nice and low, the fence was nice, tall, sturdy, and safe. I didn’t feel afraid once about my puppy getting into trouble.
The ONLY thing is, if you’re going around this time bring bug spray! The area is really well maintained but the mosquitoes were out in force. Besides that, an amazing space. Max A.

55We loved this spot for off leash play and training time! The yard is secure and I love that it has a privacy fence to minimize outside distractions for my reactive dog. There was some construction going on, dogs barking, and a bit of garbage at the spot. But all things to be expected in a city sniff spot, and they didn’t affect our experience at all! Would love to visit again!Torin F.

FAQ about our Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh 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 95 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
