Janet's 34 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Saltsburg | Sniffspot
55The property was beautiful and had mowed paths for walking all around. My pup had the best day ever! He went swimming in the pond and splashed in the creek and chased a squirrel in the woods.
Unfortunately, he did run up to a dog and man ( neighbor?) below the pond area. Thank God I was able to recall him back to me.- he’s not great with other dogs. Lynn A.

55Great spot. Large open space for sniffing and playing. We walked down to the pond and back up and played some fetch. Ollie opted for a lazy Sunday and made himself comfortable in the fallen leaves. We will be back to explore more another time! You can see neighbors both at the entrance and behind the pond but there is quite a bit of distance which was ok for my pup.Sandy T.

55My pup and I had a wonderful time playing on the agility equipment. We practiced skills such as weave pole entrances and tunnel exits, as well as just having fun. The space is clean and well maintained and Cindy is super friendly and helpful.Janet S.

55We had a great second visit at this site! The host was incredibly helpful in reviewing with our dog what she learned last time and teaching her a few new things, then giving us time to work on them. Scout and I had fun working on the course and are looking forward to our next visit!Susan W.

55Extremely nice facility! We had so much fun!
When I arrived Cindy gave me a quick tour of the place to show me the amenities such as water bowls for the dogs, refreshments for the people, and restrooms we could use if needed. Then since we had experience with agility equipment we had free range of the place. My boy, McCoy, and I had so much fun. This was such a great place to be able to take him for some good training and exercise while in town visitingAlexis B.

FAQ about our Apollo 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 Apollo 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 85 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 12 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.
