55Booked this on a whim - half hour before the book time 7:30-8:30pm and it was perfect! First time booking a sniffspot - I messaged the host prior and he was so kind. I have a reactive doodle and it was bittersweet to watch him enjoy himself with out distractions. He loved it! So peaceful especially on an almost fall evening. We will be back. Thank you for sharing this with the public!!Megan A.

55Amazing spot! Host greeted us and was super friendly, gave us the run down of all the different trail spots and was very thoughtful around my dog’s reactivity (I gave them a heads up before arriving). The walking paths were quiet and easy to follow.
I should note too that it was very easy to find, they even had a parking area. My sweet girl had the best time being off leash, I will 100% be returning. Emma L.

55Our dogs had so much fun on the trails and in the field! They were able to get their zoomies out and enjoy the great sniff in the woods! They fell asleep within five minutes of leaving. I would absolutely recommend this spot!Holly D.

55We came in the winter time, with plenty of snow on the ground. Our pups loved frolicking in the open space and got to enjoy being off leash since the place is completely fenced. Host was super nice and accommodating with quick replies on all my messages to him! Ashley C.

55This Sniffspot was fantastic and was exactly as described. It’s a very spacious, well fenced in yard. It was great for playing ball with our larger dog and for unlimited sniffing for our smaller dog. Dane was very responsive to messages and we can’t wait to visit again!Jennifer P.

55Such a great space to bring your furbabies! I highly recommend. Great size yard. Our dogs really enjoyed running and running around. Also really liked that the fence is wood so that it gives more privacy. Nina R.

55Perfect sniff spot. Love the privacy fence. Keeps my reactive pup from potentially seeing other dogs. More than enough room for our Great Dane to run her heart out. Evie M.

FAQ about our Plainwell 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.
