55My 4 dogs loved this place, it was very clean and they were wore out for the night after we left. There were plenty of toys that the host provided for the dogs to play with and the kiddie pool was a really nice addition that my one dog loved. The host was also very nice and prompt when answering any questions/concerns I had prior to coming.
There is a chicken pen in the yard which the host assured me is predator proof and it is located in some bushes… however, my dogs found them pretty quick. Thankfully my dogs lost interest in them and went off to play. However if your dog has a high prey drive, I can see this as being a possible problem.
I will be bringing my dogs back here again 😊Jackie P.

55Tiffiene was super kind and has an excellent spot for pups to run around! My two had a great time, and definitely appreciated the little puppy pool that was available for them! I appreciated that it was securely fenced on top of everything else :) Jessica M.

55This was our first time trying Sniff Spot and it was great! One of our dogs is a rescue and reactive to both dogs and people, but Deanna was super understanding and assured us it was a private space. It was large, clean and there were plenty of toys to keep them entertained. We’ll be back for sure!Ann M.

55As always, this spot was the best there is! The peaceful garden tucked in the corner in combination with the pool for Éowyn made this a very peaceful way to spend an entirely too hot day ☺️James C.

55Great yard and friendly welcome upon arrival! Just wish my pup wasn't so distracted by the chickens! Nothing negative to the host/location they are listed as being there, he just hasn't seen them before and couldn't focus on anything else. Will use this location again if he can get over chickens lolKodi G.

55This sniffspot is great for working as a team with my dog. You play ball with me, five times, you may go look at chimkins. Then, return to me. Is that a deal, Fenney? Yeah, I guess so, but mommy, your chuck it skills need work. Gena W.

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.
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 Urbana 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 131 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
