55I now have two very very tired pups! Whoever started sniffspot is a gem. I have one reactive dog and one not reactive. To be able to have them both off leash and having fun running and sprinting around in a safe environment is something a reactive dog does not get very often. Mariah’s yard was huge, clean, full of toys, easy to access, and very quiet. Seeing my reactive dog running around free and knowing that he had nothing to fear here literally brought tears to my eyes. I’m sure others with a reactive dog will understand. Kelsey D.

55Luna had a great time! This was our first time using Sniffspot and we’ll definitely do so at this yard again. Super convenient and easy to find, and PLENTY of toys for the doggos! Marisol G.

55Nice yard area. There was a lot of poop that people didn't pick up after their dogs, which sucked as I stepped in some. There were toys and balls for the doggys to play with was cool. Very easy ascess to get to.Susan G.

55My puppy and my older dog loved this yard. It was a huge score to see the toys were available for them, they played tug, chase & fetch up & down the hill. Now, it’s nap time for the boys 😭 Julie C.

55What a nice yard! There are a few gaps under the fence which is a little tricky for little dogs but def perfect for med/large dogs. One of mine is an escape artist so I had to keep her away from them.
The host was very accommodating and great with communication. Highly recommend!Lori S.

55Thank you for sharing your yard with us. Aria had a great time exploring and sniffing around! The toys were an excellent bonus for her. I couldn't find plastic bags but I did have my own. We will definitely book again in the future. Holly F.

55Me and the girls loved it, was clean, peaceful and plenty of spots to find shade especially for my poodle who has a decent sized coat currently. My chihuahua loved the toys and liked chasing the bugs that flew around. My chihuahua was in a long leash since she can easily fit through the smaller side of the face on the left side but the fencing easily contained my poodle. We found the water bowl easily and the bucket of toys. I enjoyed my first visit. Thank you ! Ana B.

55This was our first SniffSpot and it was AWESOME! The yard is the perfect size - our dog got tired quick (first time off leash!) so we left a bit early, but we will absolutely be back.
There are a few tiny gaps below the fence that smaller dogs can probably squeeze through with enough determination but even our 13 lb guy wasn’t too interested, since there were plenty of toys to keep him preoccupied. We also booked on short notice and everything was out and ready for us! Thanks so much!Hannah C.

55Easy to find, nice sized location. I have 4 small dogs 8-16lb. A bit worrisome for me with the picket fence area. 4 dogs are a lot to keep an eye on. Been to 3 sniff spots and find my guys all tend to run around and check out new places for a bit then start checking out the perimeter. Mariah reached out to see what I thought of the yard as she wants to make sure its secure-very nice. If you have small dogs that are not going to want to stray too far you are likely fine. Mine apparently would like to wander off.. :-(Carol P.

55Love the hill and my dogs had a blast. Definitely will be coming back to enjoy the pool. My oldest loves water and we had quite the argument trying to keep her out of it cause I didn’t bring towels. Next time I will! 😂Hayden M.

55A beautiful yard with a pool and a lot of toys! My dogs had so much fun. There is a small part of the fence my mini managed to sneak under, but I just moved a lawn chair in front of it to prevent him from getting out again. He’s 9 lbs, so a dog any bigger than that would be totally fine. Will definitely come back! Cara B.

FAQ about our Salem 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.
