Sonja's 5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Puni

Fully Fenced

5 acres

IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD Hi, we are called Pongarosa. We mainly run horse events on the weekends so are offering dog days from Monday to Friday. We have an automatic gate, that closes behind you and plenty of parking. The main paddock has short grass and obstacles in it which the dogs can have a play on. Bring a ball to throw as far as you like. If you like to walk, you can go around the farm. It has flat, rolling and steeper areas. Walk takes around 10 -15 minutes if walking. Longer if playing with your dog. I do have wetlands and they are tidal. Our drain can have water in them but I'm not advertising that I have water. I just want people to be aware. Please come and see me before you venture out so I can keep you informed about the property.

January 2025

Such a great spot! There are mown down paths so you have an easy walk while your dog frolics in the high grass. There was fresh drinking water available and a bin provided for poo bags which was really appreciated. Lots of shade and seating as well. My child loved running around the area with the dog too. It was so nice to let my reactive dog off leash to just run and be free and know she is completely safe and secure. Thank you! Will definitely be back!

Thanks for the use of this private peaceful spot. Our dogs had a lovely time here. Plenty of room to run around with seats in lovely shady areas for us to relax and listen to the tuis. Will certainly be back.

Beautiful space to let your dog stretch their legs. Lovely touches such as benches, poo bags and some toys.

January 2025

I’d like to offer sincere gratitude for sharing this stunning and diverse space for us to spend connected, quality time with our dogs. The walk this evening was beautiful and allowed me an opportunity to train, play and be with my dog; all in such a stunning setting which provoked her senses and drive! She even gave swimming another go, she ran, she bounced and she connected. thank you 🩵

Took my 2 dogs today, they had a blast, running,sniffing, swimming , the property owners even had a bowl of dog toys to play with. Such an enriching time for them. Highly recommend 👌

Always great to visit with my boy, place us well maintained and Shield is getting more confident in the water each visit, which maybe isn’t a great thing for my car 😂😂

Beautiful space!! The swimming area was an added bonus. My boys loved every minute. It’s so good to have a nice spot that’s near to home 🥳 definitely come again.

That was the most fun sniff park we have been too. A real confidence booster for my 10month old ridgeback who can be a little scared of things. So much fun. Thank you

Cinnamon S.

December 2023

Was a real big space, lots to sniff and a few spots to explore. Was a little confusing to find for first time and I honestly worried I had just turned up at some randoms house, but now that I have been there, I feel it’s pretty straightforward.

Kelly M.

December 2023

Great spot, lots of different paddocks to walk through so dogs get a good run, will definitely be back and highly recommend

Caz V.

December 2023

Amazing space for our reactive baby, no other dogs or triggers. Had an amazing time swimming and generally running around, lots of smells and scents to investigate, and duck poo to roll in 🤣🐾 She was so happy! Her own little self lead adventures with no commands or constraints. Definitely be back!

Sarah v.

December 2023

Great place for your dog to run around and have a sniff! Maybe just some signage to make it clear where to go and park but other than that the pup had a great time :)

Tania K.

Excellent spot for the dogs! They had so much fun exploring the paddocks and cooling off in the creek. They are looking forward to returning soon!

Matt F.

Awesome spot! Lots of cool things to explore and the little creek is awesome for the dogs to cool off! Highly recommend! Love Lulu & Tuktuk

Ellis G.

December 2023

What a great spot! Our dog loved running between the paddocks, lots of sticks for her to chew and some patches of water for her to have a paddle in as well. Instructions were helpful but as mentioned in another review, some signage would be great once they’ve got that up! Thank you!

This spot is gorgeous! Well maintained lawns, lots of space to spread out, good visibility so you can keep an eye on your dogs easily. My big reactive dog loved the water spots (we did have to be careful around the more narrow bits as he is a boomba) and it was reassuring to see the double fence situation so he couldn’t escape. Lots of shade, heaps of places to chill out. Really impressed! Shelley’s communication was great and she answered all my questions quickly and fully. We’ll be back soon (and will remember to take photos next time)!

55✅ Reactive dog ✅ Dax behaves aggressively towards other dogs, so it was really nice to see this private place pop up for rent. After 5 minutes I started to relax and enjoy my time there with him (after the usual reactive dog parent head swivelling stops 😂). It was out of the way and fully fenced with a closable gate to secure the area. There were horses grazing in the paddocks at the back end, but they only came to the fence to catch some shade for 5 mins before off grazing again. ⚠️ There was a man with 2 off leash dogs in the soccer field adjacent to the section ⚠️ It was no fault of the host that they were there, but if you have a reactive dog like Dax it might pay to cast your eyes over there every now again during your visit. There is a fence in between but a keen dog might be able to get through. We kept out of sight and away from that fence-line once we spotted them, there was more than enough room to create distance. All in all I think this is a really cool spot for sniffs!! I’m just leaving a super thorough review because I know there are sooooo many people out there with dogs like mine who would really benefit from using such a space 💜 it’s hard knowing where we can exercise them safely and actually ENJOY our dogs. Dax loved the water part 😂 neither of us cared about the mud, it was WAY too much fun! Pictures are proof!! I am so grateful to the host for allowing us to use this space 🥰🙏 Thank you. I look forward to next time!Jennifer B.

FAQ about our Auckland small dog parks

Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?

Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.

What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?

We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.

Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.

How much do Sniffspot small dog parks cost?

Small dog parks in the Auckland area range from $4.0 and $35.0. The least expensive small dog park is Sonja's 5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Puni.

Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?

If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
