55We could not have had a better experience here. It was our first time using sniffspot, we have a very reactive dog living in the city who can’t go to dog parks and he loved it here. They provided burgers, hot dogs, use of the grill, dog treats, toys, a kiddie pool, all of the works for our dog and us. We felt totally safe and comfortable and our dog was so happy, never had to worry about people or dogs bothering him. Owners were responsive and so helpful with anything we could have needed, we really appreciated how attentive they are! They even added some tarp over the fence to block our dogs vision into the next yard, to avoid any interactions that could have upset him. The yard was in great shape and super spacious. We couldn’t recommend this enough and will definitely be back!!Elizabeth L.

55Easy to find, plenty of street parking. The fence was high enough to contain our jumper and he really loved all the space to run around. Hosts left everything we needed in plain sight and we appreciated the table to set down our things. Would visit again!Eliese X.

55We had a great experience! The host was extremely kind, understanding and accommodating. Bucky had a great time chasing his ball around and amazingly it only ended up in the water feature once! For us, and where we are with reactivity we would need to make sure no neighbor dogs were out since Bucky would be able to see then through the chain link fence or up on the deck he could see over the privacy fence. But since no dogs were out he had a blast! Marci K.

FAQ about our Buffalo Grove 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.
