Really awesome host and beautiful large yard. Our hound sure enjoyed his visit today, as did Mom and Dad! Thanks again, Madison! Looking forward to many more visits.
55Madison has a lovely backyard and is a gracious host! She left out treats for the pups and the humans, has a nice shades area to sit and chat, and plenty of room for the dogs to run around! I was worried my dogs might bark at people walking by, with the park across the street and only having a chain link fence, but my dogs were so busy running and sniffing that they didn't seem to notice the people at the park. We will definitely be going back! Suzanne E.

FAQ about our Urbana 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.
