55Easy and clear instructions for access, Matt had a bowl of water ready and some high quality toys available for the dogs. The grass and yard are very well-maintained. There are a couple small holes in the fence that a small toy-size dog could get through if they wanted to escape, but it was not a problem at all for our dogs. I'd read on previous reviews that the gate not closing all the way was an issue, but there is a bungee cord there to secure it, if that is a concern. Was quiet during our visit--no dogs or people in the surrounding yards. Will definitely be coming back! Anne H.

55Matt’s yard was perfect for our pup. Plenty of room to run around and we had no issue securing the gate. Coqueta had a blast exploring all of the new smells and playing with the selection of toys Matt kindly left out. We were very grateful for a fun, socially-distant reprieve from our own small apartment. Thanks again! Vera K.

55We knew exactly which house it was because Matt had a Sniffspot sign on the fence. That’s really helpful, especially going someplace unfamiliar. There was a large water bowl and a lot of toys. My 2 pups had a good time. We had fun encouraging them to play on the obstacle course. We ended up leaving early because of my pups got stung by a hornet:( Glad to report, she’s just fine;)
Thanks for sharing your yard, Matt!! Kim K.

55Took a dog from the shelter on a field trip to this sniff spot and he had an absolute blast. The privacy fence makes it perfect for the shelter dogs to run around with the peace of mind knowing they can't jump the fence or react to anything. He got his energy out and ran around for an hour straight. Will be back!Jessica W.

55Love this sniff spot so much! We use it weekly to give one of the shelter pups a break and let them stretch their legs. The perfect spot for a reactive or nervous dog that wants to play fetch or just sniff! Remi S.

55This yard is awesome!! The instructions were very clear and the yard was easy to access. It felt super secure thanks to the tall wood privacy fence. The yard is HUGE!! Excellent for playing fetch and sniffing. There was some agility equipment and a few balls to play with too. There were also a few seats for humans which is always a plus!Caroline A.

55Great space for our dogs to roam free and run around as fast as they can. The agility/hurdle things were really fun for them to try, although not too successfully. We will definitely come back! Kirsten C.

55We took advantage of a beautiful day last week to bring our Dobie back to her favorite SniffSpot and found it better than ever! Clean as always and full of toys, it had been enhanced with three hurdles of varying heights that our dog loved jumping. Don’t know whether these are a continuing feature but our girl sure loved them! Thanks, Gregory!Jane A.

FAQ about our Arnold dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
