55Great spot for my two malamutes to stretch their legs after a road trip to Florida from Ohio to visit for Christmas. Host was very responsive with my questions. The yard was clean, secure and did the trick, both dogs are sleeping now!Mary Catherine K.

55So glad I found this gem! Love this spot for weekend play time. Well kept, fenced in area with shade throughout and water provided. Perfect for pups that need some alone time without any triggers around. Paige G.

55One of the best spots we have been to! Wide open space for lots of running and sniffing. Our dogs had a blast here. I really appreciated the host providing signage along the way so I knew exactly where to go. Clemence M.

55Wide open room to run with just right amount of trees for shade. Secluded and peaceful setting to simply enjoy time with your dog. There are some sheep on property in adjacent fenced area but that was not an issue as they generally stayed quite a distance away to where our pups didn’t even know they were there. Definitely recommend this place especially if you have dogs that like to run and run and run.J D.

55Our pup had a great time today exploring three acres! It’s a perfect piece of property for dogs to roam. Plenty of shade as well. We will return every so often for him to stretch his legs. Would be fun to bring a friend or two as well!Christina G.

The obstacles were stimulating, they helped our dogs to work on their fears and challenge themselves. Our babies made us so proud!
Plenty of room to run, fetch & explore.
Fresh clean water is provided along with a mini barn tub for the pups.

55This Sniffspot has been life changing for my dog and I. The owner is the most friendly person and has amazing energy. I had a chance to meet her and she was so sweet and welcoming. I would recommend this Sniffspot based solely on her kindness and understanding of my Lily and her reactivity. But then also add the actual land, which is beautiful, spacious, and peaceful, this is the best Sniffspot! 11/10!Jim D.

FAQ about our Wildwood 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 Wildwood 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 313 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 37 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.
