55Very friendly and welcoming. We, humans and dogs, loved our visit. Such a great place where our dogs could just go for a run, swim in the water and mud. Doggie heaven 😀 Particularly great for our reactive dog who prefers his own space away from other dogs. We could have a thoroughly enjoyable time not having to worry about whether another dog was around the corner.
Thank you so much for this awesome opportunity! We will be back.Kylee M.

55Awesome spot for training and sniffing. Our working dog Kobe loved running around although he probably could have stayed 2 hours! The set up made it that extra special as they have provided a long line, water and toys. Kobe even got a swim in the pond! Alyce M.

55A great place to let your dog explore & to do some training. No other dogs to distract our pup but she was fascinated by the two horses across the pond. Such a lovely quiet spot… we’ll definitely be back! Camilla M.

55Thank you Rachael for opening your house. It's not easy for people with dogs with reactivity towards other dogs to find spaces where they can relax walking, knowing that no dog will come up to them.
This is a great idea.
Be mindful that there's stock around and the dogs can jump / go through the fences.
Also, be mindful that it has a pond but I wouldn't recommend dogs jumping in that water as it's not fresh and could contain bacteria.
Oh and bring gumboots! and make sure your doggies don't eat the horse poop! hahaha
Other than that, it's a beautiful green space to explore :)
Thanks again!Roma D.

FAQ about our Oropi 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. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Oropi 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 4 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 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.
