55A wonderful gem in Grand Rapids! The yard is beautifully kept, there were an array of toys to choose from, fresh water, and even a welcome note and treats for Joey! The best part however, has to be the secure and TALL fencing. I was able to relax and enjoy letting Joey run.Sydney H.

55The yard and entry is absolutely beautiful and perfect to hangout with your dog(s)!
The property is easy to locate as well as the Sniffspot entrance. The driveway/parking area is very thoughtfully laid out and signed.
The yard itself is very large and beautifully kept. The Sniffspot touches were super cute and thoughtful! There is plenty of room to let your dog(s) run around and sniff, as well as play fetch. A bonus of this spot is the beautiful seating area! The spot also provided fresh water/water bowl for the pups and a basket full of toys to use.
We cannot wait to visit again!Jennifer P.

55This Sniffspot is really well maintained and the host left out toys, fresh water, and treats for us.
Fence is incredibly secure all the way around the yard and healthy trees offered really nice shaded areas throughout. Kayla P.

55My two golden retrievers had a blast here! The yard is very spacious with many options for enrichment. They were able to play fetch and have enough room to run around freely. Will most definitely book again!Ilieth L.

55Very secure, very clean, large but not so large your dog should ever be out of sight. The pool was a big hit! We brought our own ball but there were plenty of other toys available.Lauren B.

55Perfect experience! Separate little driveway/entrance into the yard and my dogs had no visual of neighboring dogs or even the hostess dog(s). A very thoughtful gesture,
- a few doggie treats were left as a welcoming gift and access to a crate full of yard toys (although my pack was way more interested in smelling every square foot of the yard since it was their first time at this spot). We did the pool “add-on” and it was setup upon arrival ready for use. A filled water dish was left out for drinking so I didn't have to bring in the one I brought from home. Relaxing, peaceful and beautiful!!!! We’ll be back! Brooke Z.

55We've visited this sniffspot several times now and we always have a great time! The host provides toys, water and a trash can for waste bags. The backyard is nicely landscaped and there's a large seating area. My dog now has a "favourite" toy and immediately goes through the toy box looking for it. We'll be back!Amanda C.

55This yard was the nicest one we've been to yet. Our dog could run at top speed from one end to the other. It cost a little more but was well worth it. The variety of dog toys was nice too. Bob M.

FAQ about our Howard City 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 Howard City area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 58 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 12 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
