55What an incredible place! The owner is so friendly, and has created a dog heaven on her property! An agility area, a place for digging, a huge area with soft grass for running stocked with tons of toys, and a "nose" garden. Each area has fresh water in buckets, and hoses. There are even friendly horses nearby 😁. By far the best Sniffspot we've ever been to, and will be back! Lynn D.

55A fantastic spot to visit for our four legged friends! There are four yards built with different actives for dogs to enjoy. My dogs had a blast visiting. They loved the big field to run around, then they were curious about the dirt mound for digging around and the agility course they played with. We ran out of time to try the smell tracking area but will try that next time. They were also very curious with the horses nearby they were very confused if it was a very big dog! Lol
Overall everyone had a wonderful time and the host greeted us and took the time to explain everything. Thank you very much we are definitely coming back in the furture! :DIris M.

55This spot is truly like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory for dogs! So much thought and care has gone into providing enrichment: agility, sniff garden, dig pile, tracking, tons of toys! Each yard is secure and gates have locks, fences are secure. I think we had just as much fun as our dogs! We can’t wait to visit again. Noelle S.

55My dog and I love this spot! It’s pristine and spacious with so many interesting things to get into, comfy Adirondack chairs, water and clean up bags and receptacles provided, high quality dog toys - my dog can’t stay out of the toy box! The location is beautiful, atmosphere is so peaceful and relaxing. Our last visit felt as much for me as for my dog. Well worth the drive down from the city. Teri R.

55HUGE space! My pup loved it and was so interested in checking out each field. There were plenty of toys and water at each field as well places to sit while your dog plays. The horses next door came out to eat while we were there which was an added bonus for us! If your dog is afraid of larger animals don’t worry they weren’t out for our entire stay but also the space is so big that they might not even realize the horses are there. I did lose service while I was down at the fields so be mindful if that’s something you’ll need. Overall great time!Jordan W.

55Second visit to this spot and we brought a friend’s dog - great time had by all! We went on a day after a lot of rain and it was still a little drizzly during our time. But the grounds are kept so well that we didn’t have any issues with mud. It was a warmer day, but all of the yards had buckets with freshwater in them. Noelle S.

55We had a great time! Our two dogs have very different personalities, but they both agreed that this spot is the best! We explored three of the four fields (didn't have time for the agility). The host clearly loves dogs and people and has gone out of her way to make this fun.Joanne H.

55We had such a blast checking out all 4 fields!! Even on a hot day, there was plenty of shady spots and sniffs to check out and keep an active pup busy. Marygrace went above and beyond with all the toys and activities. We will absolutely be back!Megan S.

FAQ about our Harwood 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 Harwood area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 324 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
