55Romeo, our Great Dane, thoroughly enjoyed his time at Heather’s Sniff Spot. He had plenty of room to run, some shade to chill, and Heather left him some water to cool down. Liz B.

55I was a little confused about the gate at first, but after I realized what Heather meant, it was perfect. My dog loved playing in the backyard and enjoyed the shady spots. He did grab a few sticks, so I hope that’s okay. Uzi also enjoyed showing off his fetching skills for the kids watching next door. Jen S.

55Heather’s SniffSpot was exactly what our dog needed. Safe with plenty of room to run and sniff. Since our dog is dog-reactive, it was important to us that she couldn’t see any other dogs, and we didn’t.
We’ll definitely be back!C B.

55Charlie enjoyed his time at Heather's Sniffspot! The yard is smaller than some others I've visited but affords plenty of space for exploring and sniffing. Charlie is not a ball guy, but for dogs who like to fetch, this would be a great area for them to do so. As the description notes, there are neighbors nearby, but the fence is solid enough and tall enough to avoid this being an issue. Heather was a very welcoming host and provided helpful information to be sure our visit went well ... thank you! Happy to find a Sniffspot location that is so close to my house!Donna S.

55We absolutely enjoyed every second of our hour playing in this yard. Excellent size for playing ball. Bordered by a field so peaceful to sit and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. Pamela G.

55I brought my 3 golden retrievers and I was so happy with the location. I love the fact that I didn’t have to try and walk them anywhere ( 1 is still a crazy puppy )
you just pull into the backyard and shut the gate and unload the dogs it was perfect. Plenty of room for them to run and get their energy out. She even had a bowl of water out and a hose to refill it. Donna B.

55We enjoyed visiting the yard, and had a great time with our dog. The fence was shorter than we were anticipating, so we had to keep a bit of a closer eye on her, but other than that everything was awesome. There were lots of great spots for her to sniff around as well as a bowl of water left out by the porch. We’ll certainly visit again.Jessica Y.

55Great time! The host has toys, treats, a pool and towel for the dogs, as well as drinks for the humans! Yard was spacious and my three large dogs safely ran with more than enough room. The fence is secure so it was a stress free visit. We will be back!Kylie M.

55Great experience for both dogs who had a blast running around the yard together. They’re bigger dogs so they’re tired after about 20 minutes. And you can tell how happy the dogs were running free and unleashed together. Definitely recommend this environment. Michael W.

55This was a wonderful first experience with Sniffspot. Julie is a fantastic host and has thought of everything…toys, treats, a first aid kit, two bowls of water for my thirsty guy and even a towel for his muddy paws. Thank you so much, Julie! Linc had so much fun exploring and is completely tuckered out! Katie L.

55We can’t wait to come back! Both our dogs loved the yard. Our 1 yo bernedoodle tried her best to break her own speed record running around the majority of the time while our 7 yo terrier mix smelled every smell and enjoyed the swing. Beautiful space. Thank you for sharing. Karen E.

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.
Are dog parks safe?
