55What a wonderful visit today! So much room for dogs to flourish-a huge open field for ball playing. Animals all around from chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, to alpacas. The host was super friendly and even shared some farm knowledge with me. We can't wait to go back!! Thank you so much :)Ashley R.

55Absolutely perfect for my reactive dog. She has so much fun running and I was stress free knowing she wouldn’t encounter another dog. She was asleep before we pulled out of the driveway. We will be back!Katie C.

55This is our very first sniff spot experience and it was perfect! Tina was very helpful and the pasture was just what my dogs needed. There are some shaded areas in the pasture and very well fenced in. She has chairs available and a dog bowl you can use (BYOWater).
We can't wait to come back!!

55This was our fourth time coming to this property and it's our favorite! The grounds are well kept and the large field gives so much room for running. Also, the host provides water bowls, tennis balls, and water refill in case if you run out. Besides how much my dogs love it, I also look forward to coming here each week now too!Kelly G.

FAQ about our Sanford 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sanford 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 198 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 33 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.
