55I have been here several times and it is wonderful for beginners. Cynthia is very welcoming and they change the course up periodically making it more fun, but you're also free to change it yourself if you wish. I would definitely recommend it!Maria D.

55Our dog had never done any agility before, and I wasn’t sure how he would do! But after Cynthia showed us how to teach him some of the obstacles, he was running like a pro! Katie B.

55What an awesome place to try out new things with your dog! Cindy taught us so much about introducing the course and finding each dog’s strengths. My dog’s were exhausted post 20min of new agility and learning, rested, and then perked back up for some more tries and some zoomies for fun. Great place to learn and try something new in a safe environment. We will be back!!! Lindsay P.

FAQ about our Irwin 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Irwin 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 212 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 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.
