55This was our first SniffSpot experience and we will definitely be back! I can’t say I have any complaints and Maisie certainly didn’t have any either! The only thing I would mention is to watch out for one or two deeper holes with smaller pups or older dogs. Maisie absolutely loved having plenty of space to run in the sun and cool off in the shade when she needed to. So excited to have found this spot! Aimee C.

55My dog is very shy, so we can’t take him to the doggie parks. He has lots and lots of energy that he needs to run off! He absolutely loved this place. Very secluded, not hard to find at all. The area was super safe, would definitely book again! Naomi A.

55Hank cannot wait to go back! Well maintained, private & secure! Shaded areas. There was seating & a box of toys for use. No waste receptacle on site so you need to take ‘doody’ home with you and make sure you bring along a bowl & water. Erin K.

55This is a really great spot! It felt private and secure. It was immaculately clean. The fence was tall and there weren’t any gaps/holes that my two small-medium sized dogs could ever fit through. We could hear a few cars and dogs barking at the kennel, but it was very peaceful overall. I have one reactive dog and her interest was piqued slightly, but it did not seem to bother her. Perfect amount of space to run and chase frisbees and balls! It was nice to have a couple chairs and a table, as well. There’s a sign for the play yard at the road to turn onto which makes it super easy to find. My pups absolutely loved their time here. We will definitely be back! Sarah T.

55A great Sniffspot! Manchito loved climbing on the large rock in the yard, and we were both thankful for the shade on such a hot day. I did a quick “perimeter check” before removing his leash, and the yard was very clean.
2 small notes: First, I found several large seeds (maybe walnuts?) that had fallen from a large tree in the yard; my dog didn’t notice/care, but others might. Second, the Adirondack chairs/table provided had dirt/pollen/webs on them - nothing out of the ordinary for outdoor furniture - so if you’re sensitive to that, consider bringing a blanket or camp chair with you.
Thanks for having us, Laurie! We’ll definitely be back. 🙂Becca J.

55Needed a place to run and play off lease. The yard was a decent size and grassed mowed, and our dog loved it!! My only suggestion would be to offer a 30 minute slot as one hour was a tad to long for our dog. Kelly K.

55Perfect for me and my dog! We don’t have a yard of our own just yet, so finding this spot was a huge win. The area is spacious with a sturdy fence, and there’s plenty of space for a German Shepherd to run laps. Having the chairs there so we could sit and relax between play sessions was also really helpful. We will definitely be back, either for more solo play or with a friend!Jacqui M.

55Literally as described. My only complaint would be that some people left poop bags next to the gate which was annoying when you can drive two driveways over and drop the poop off.

55We had a great time and our doggies LOVED it! Well maintained area and well laid out. The container with the extra toys was a wonderful touch and the privacy was terrific. *Important to read the directions so that you enter the correct driveway. The directions were explained well. The latch is a bit stuck on the gate. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Martin L.

55Great spot! Perfect sized for my Irish Setter and Shiba Inu. Clean, tall fence with no breaks, and toys! The only thing I would recommend is having a trash can inside to put poop bags but I also understand that means the owner has to take out that trash. 10/10 recommend!Darby R.

FAQ about our Annville 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.
