55This is a great spot! We really liked that the yard was big and open with plenty of space for playing ball, frisbee, and running around. The host also left out thoughtful accommodations like water and a fun selection of toys. The only dogs we could hear were waking past on a sidewalk outside the fence, which our dogs barely noticed.

55Every time we pull up, my pup knows he gets to run and sniff around! Plenty of open space and toys. The host is always pleasant and openly communicates any necessary information. Great spot!Jessica M.

55Our puppy absolutely loved playing here! It's a large area with plenty of shade. Stocked with all the supplies you could need, along with toys. We didn't come across any sights of others dogs or humans. I would highly recommend!Paris H.

55Such a perfect place to bring your dog! Totally enclosed with a wooden 6’ fence, so very private (which is so nice for reactive dogs!!). It was neat and clean, with water, poo bags, and toys left out. There’s also a plastic pool that would be fun, in warm weather. My granddog had so much fun! I look forward to returning!Carolyn G.

55This was our first Sniff spot experience. It was a wonderful location with clear directions. The taller fence gave us piece of mind. Our dog loved looking up at the trees at the squirrels. Diana M.

55A quiet, safe space for our pup to run! Fully fenced, with plenty of privacy from the road/sidewalk on the other side. This allowed our nervous dog to hear and smell other dogs walking by, without having to see them. Great communication from Charles as well. We will definitely be back. Jordann M.

55This is a very nice spot that is just as described. Very secure, very safe. The host leaves several extras such as towels, blanket, water, etc. It was sprinkling when I arrived and he had put everything under an overhang to keep it dry. Very considerate.Nancy U.

55Super clean and open space, toys, water and poop bags provided. I have a small puppy so there were a couple of spots under the fence that she may have been able to squeeze through but other than that, a solid wood fence for great privacy. Kelly N.

FAQ about our Madison 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?
