55A lovely view, a picnic table, and chairs for humans. And for the pups- a clean, large, secure, grassy space complete with balls, a chuck-it, frisbees, agility equipment, chickens to gaze at through the fence, water, and water bowls. Plus a milk bone treat as a welcome gift! What more could you want? We will return.Teresa P.

55We love this spot!!
We’ve gone several times now, and it’s always clean, well kept, beautiful country scenery, and secure! The host seems very friendly, has responded anytime I’ve messaged (even to silly questions when I was new to Sniffspot), gone above and beyond when my 5yr old child left his glove behind, and doesn’t come out to chat which would be super stressful for my pups!
My 3 yr Shepherd Mix that I adopted in February had not had much exposure to the outside world. He’s leash reactive, and I learned he reacts to the chickens that roam in the afternoon in the fenced in area next to the dog area here. The host graciously let me know that I could try morning times as the chickens only roam from after 12pm. It was the perfect solution for my pups and we book in the morning when we can.
Well worth the $15! Kelly M.

55Another wonderful visit to Skolaski Private Park. This place is so clean; it's grassy and not muddy! We even got to see/hear chickens. My dog was intrigued! And a lot of new smells! The agility equipments were fun (or frustrating depending on your dog's focus and energy level) to try and they have plenty of balls and discs for your pup to fetch. I love the serene environment and they even had treats (to award them for being good...or just because). 😀 Great park!C. L.

55By the look of my tired, sloppy Scottie it was another successful visit. I figured it would be messy bc of weather we’ve had & was nicely warned by host beforehand but it wasn’t too bad considering. I came prepared for that. Lynn D.

55This area is on a hill with amazing views the people can enjoy while the dogs enjoy the space. A bonus to this Sniffspot is obstacles to provide challenge for the dogs! There are also toys, water dish, fresh bottle of water all available. My Great Dane is unable to be at a public dog park due to fear of other dogs. We took her here with daughters dogs and she had an incredible time! Deb S.

FAQ about our Durand 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.
