55Romeo, our Great Dane, thoroughly enjoyed his time at Heather’s Sniff Spot. He had plenty of room to run, some shade to chill, and Heather left him some water to cool down. Liz B.

55I was a little confused about the gate at first, but after I realized what Heather meant, it was perfect. My dog loved playing in the backyard and enjoyed the shady spots. He did grab a few sticks, so I hope that’s okay. Uzi also enjoyed showing off his fetching skills for the kids watching next door. Jen S.

55Heather’s SniffSpot was exactly what our dog needed. Safe with plenty of room to run and sniff. Since our dog is dog-reactive, it was important to us that she couldn’t see any other dogs, and we didn’t.
We’ll definitely be back!C B.

55Charlie enjoyed his time at Heather's Sniffspot! The yard is smaller than some others I've visited but affords plenty of space for exploring and sniffing. Charlie is not a ball guy, but for dogs who like to fetch, this would be a great area for them to do so. As the description notes, there are neighbors nearby, but the fence is solid enough and tall enough to avoid this being an issue. Heather was a very welcoming host and provided helpful information to be sure our visit went well ... thank you! Happy to find a Sniffspot location that is so close to my house!Donna S.

55We absolutely enjoyed every second of our hour playing in this yard. Excellent size for playing ball. Bordered by a field so peaceful to sit and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. Pamela G.

55I brought my 3 golden retrievers and I was so happy with the location. I love the fact that I didn’t have to try and walk them anywhere ( 1 is still a crazy puppy )
you just pull into the backyard and shut the gate and unload the dogs it was perfect. Plenty of room for them to run and get their energy out. She even had a bowl of water out and a hose to refill it. Donna B.

55We enjoyed visiting the yard, and had a great time with our dog. The fence was shorter than we were anticipating, so we had to keep a bit of a closer eye on her, but other than that everything was awesome. There were lots of great spots for her to sniff around as well as a bowl of water left out by the porch. We’ll certainly visit again.Jessica Y.

55Nice yard for fetch or frisbee. My guy was a bit too small (and a Houdini) for some of the spaces in the fence, but a great spot for medium dogs or larger. Plenty of area to run in the sun as well as shade to cool off. Very much appreciated the water bowl and can to dispose of waste. Thank you for sharing your yard with us! Tracey A.

55We had another delightful visit to Heather's Sniffspot on a balmy June evening. Charlie was excited to be back and enjoyed ambling around the yard. He had a big smile on his face the whole time he was there. The yard has nicely manicured grass, lots of bushes around the perimeter for sniffing, and room to play ball or burn off some canine steam. There is one small area of the fence where the lower lattice work needs repair and a very small (or very determined) dog might be able to get through. Otherwise, the fence is very secure and I like that it is a solid fence, which is better for a reactive dog. Heather was very accommodating and left out water, a pooper scooper and poop bucket.

55Great yard space with shaded options! Heather addressed the gaps in her fence, so I can tell there was thought and care that went into setting the the dogs up for success! Mak E.

FAQ about our Reading 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 Reading 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 272 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 37 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.
