55My dog and dog-niece loved this spot! They were intrigued by the goats, horse and other dogs but got used to them pretty quickly. There was a lot of space to run and a good variety of equipment to play on! We had two tired pups by the end! Would come again.Emma M.

55Great spot! My pup + his buddy had an amazing time! Fully fenced with just enough space differentiation for shade options on a sunny day too. Other animals nearby but none that can make contact. Would happily return!Melissa V.

55Monicas property is beautiful. Lots of room for your pup to roam. Tons of activities to play. My very reactive dog enjoyed his time and Monica was so gracious to accommodate us. Thank you Monica! I have already told people to look your place up to rent. Kellie J.

55Had minor difficulties figuring out where the gated in area was, but the host was super kind and accommodating in answering our questions. Our 2 dogs had the best time, so much room for them to run around! We will definitely be coming back.Kellie T.

55Great spot. The very friendly pony in the adjacent field was the fan favorite! Lots of shady spots to find relief from the sun. Fresh water for the pups to drink. Lots of dogs can be seen and heard so it was a good chance to work on reactivity training. Andrea O.

55We had a great time! The dogs loved sniffing about in this large, safe space. We also really enjoyed meeting the pony. This is a wonderful spot. One caveat—it may not be a perfect fit for dogs who are very fearful of other animals—there are lots of visible dogs at the daycare onsite and the farm animals are just on the other side of the fence. Looking forward to our next visit! Andrea B.

FAQ about our Waterloo 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Waterloo 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 157 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 20 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.
