55What a blessing this was today, and will continue to be for us! My rescue Olive is leash reactive, so that makes taking her anywhere very challenging. She would likely be fine off leash at a dog park, but there are just too many variables and unknowns for me to feel like it would be a safe option. But this was perfect. Dana thought of everything! And this yard is such an oasis and safe place. Even my 16 year old blind pup enjoyed sniffing around the whole yard! I’m only sad I did not know about this sooner! Thank you, Dana!

55Easy to find. Easy to pull in and pull out of the driveway even with traffic volume. Instructions to enter gate were perfect. Saw the “sniff spot” sign by the gate so we knew we were at the correct yard. BEAUTIFUL yard! Easy access to water hose, splash pool , and water bowl. Our big boy is very skiddish in new places. Not a lot of road noise or other sounds while we were there. He was worn out within the fist 15 mins of arrival-lol. Nice sized yard with lots of toys. Our 4 yr old, 110 lb dog likes frisbee although a tad bit rusty at the catch there was plenty of space for him to run and jump. He doesn’t know it yet but he’s going to start a training program so that he has more endurance for our return trips. 😉There was some shade too. We are definitely going back. Hope to make it a weekly adventure. Thank you so much for offering your spot to us!! As soon as I booked, I was already receiving welcome texts with instructions. Super easy and strongly recommended by Fletcher and family!!

Frequently asked questions about Valparaiso dog park

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. 7% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Valparaiso 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 337 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 562 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.
