55This is our favorite Sniff Spot. ❤️ It’s so nice to be able to pull the Jeep into the secure area, shut the gate, and just let the dogs out. No need to leash up excited pups to enter the yard. Kathy H.

55Heather’s spot was exactly what we were looking for! It was really nice to be able to pull all the way in to the parking area, close the gate, and then just let the dogs right out of the car. There was plenty of space for our two medium dogs to run around and a few good shaded areas to keep cool in the sun. We really appreciated the fresh water that heather provided as well! There are some gaps at the bottom of the fence in areas that smaller dogs would be able to fit through, but that was explained in the description of the sniff spot and that was fine with us. Great spot! We will definitely be back! Sarah T.

55This spot is easy to get in. It is everything it says it is. I'm not sure it's a spot for my German Shepherd who is reactive to other dogs because of the fence at the driveway. If another dog had walked by my dog could have easily been triggered and gotten out. This is not in any way a reflection of this spot... It is something to note if someone has a highly reactive dog. We did training exercises and my girl was good though. I rate it a 5 because it was clean and nice. Plus she leaves out water .. thank you !!!Janelle S.

55I liked the fact you could close the gate and didn't have to leash up your dog. Fence was high enough I didn't have to worry. There was enough room in the yard our dogs could run and play and the yard was nicely kept. Cindy K.

55This was the perfect sniff spot for my dog! The year was big enough for zoomies and fetch. Only problem I encountered was figuring out which driveway to pull into. If you are looking at the house, it's the one on the left. Would recommend! Hailey H.

55Easy to locate, easy access. Host is proactive and sends all instructions before hand. Clean and spacious for our 80lb Dobbie Boy! Fence is perfect for our dog’s size. We cant wait to be back. Iris D.

55Very clean and well maintained. Fencing is as described. Parking was easy. Water and bowl are available for the puppers. There are ducks in the neighbors yard, but they were no distraction at all to my beagle and lab. The dogs had a blast being able to sniff and play off leash. I'd recommend Tina S.

FAQ about our West Lawn 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.
