55What a great Sniff Spot experience! The host thought of everything, from a personalized welcome sign, treats, a well-stocked toy box, fresh drinking water, and waste disposal supplies. I especially appreciated meeting the host and walking through the property with her. While I know it benefits the host, it actually gave me the opportunity to get answers to any immediate questions and eased the awkwardness of entering a stranger’s yard to play with my dog. Beau, as expected, loved the space. He’s an amazingly observant dog and enjoyed the nearby open field and neighboring yards, where he could spy rabbits and squirrels. Gabrielle K.

55The sniff spot is in a quiet neighborhood. We did not see or hear other dogs. There were no issues with poop cleanliness. My big dogs had a great time here and I always check out a new spot without the little guy first. this is definitely not the place for small dogs as there are a number of places that my Pomeranian would be able to go under the fence where the ground is uneven. He’s a jerk so he would probably go between the slats of the picket fence too. So we’ll be back but Fuzzy will stay home.Cindy H.

55We had a great time! Backyard owner was very friendly and communicated quickly via message. Clean, spacious but small enough to keep close eye on our dogs. Has a little bench to sit on or will bring a blanket to sit on the grass next time for sure. Looking forward to going back! Jody R.

55Cute clean yard, with lots of good sniffs! My dog’s nose was glued to the ground the whole time. Only thing to watch out for is remnants from some rose bushes that a dog coat could snag on. Susie O.

FAQ about our Naperville 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.
