55Great spot! Communicative host and lots of toys and activities for the dogs. We’ll be back on a slightly less scorching hot day to take advantage of it all! There is a pool to keep doggies cool on hot days mine are just not into water. :) Cara L.

55We had a great time in Cholula’s Backyard! My foster is getting used to the city sounds and smells and we needed a private place for some fun and some work together. It’s a really nice sized space with agility equipment, a bucket of toys and even waters for the humans. Thank you so, so much. Exactly what we needed. Megan S.

55Such a fun and beautiful yard! No other dogs or people are visible, there are toys, a fun pool and even an obstacle course. They posted a sign for our Nana because we were celebrating her gotcha day :’) truly a special place! Stephanie G.

55Nice spot to let my dogs get some steam off. They enjoyed sniffing around! Reyna provide water for both human and dogs and toys! The place is very quite and there’s great privacy! My youngest is fearful reactive so I hope she didn’t bother too much when she was barking at noises that she’s not used to hear (and because we were in a new place). Shut out to Reyna because I was late due to traffic and she offered to let us stay the full hour. Silvia B.

55My Apollo had so much fun in this Spot! All the little touches like the water and greeting posted when you walk in…just the cutest!! My pup got a crazy case of the zoomiez and loved every single toy she had out. Reyna can def coach other new hosts on how to make folks feel welcome!!! 💕🍁🎃🐶Chrissy B.

55This spot was perfect for my two pups (55 and 80 pounds) to get some energy out and wrestle around. Lots of good smells and enough space for them to chase each other around. Reyna was the best host ever, and put out water for both dogs and humans. Reyna also had lots of toys for the dogs, and even let us stay a little late because we arrived late due to traffic 12/10 spot!!Sam L.

55This is the perfect spot for any dog looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a bit. I have two pups, one large and one small, and this spot was the perfect size for both of them to get their zooms out. It’s very clean and easily accessible. I highly recommend! Genesis G.

55Reyna was great! She provided water, bowls, and treats which was really thoughtful. My dog is decently sized (~50 lbs) and there was enough room for her to run. Genevieve G.

55We had a blast for my dogs birthday! The owner was so nice and even set up some fun birthday surprises! We drove about 45 minutes to get here and will probably come back because of how awesome it was. Thanks for everything! Scarlett I.

55Wonderful! A Sniffspot sign on the gate. Messaged me before our time. Space was clean. It was pouring rain and we were allowed to stay a little over our time! Had a couple of water bottles out for us and fresh water for my puppy. I will come back and I would book this space.Sydney s.

55Great experience! Reyna was very responsive and extremely welcoming. The space is well suited for a great off leash experience. This was our first sniff spot experience, and I have a feeling that we got introduced with one of the best options in Chicago. Will definitely returnNicholas D.

55If I could leave 10 stars I would!! Cholula’s mom is just the most thoughtful SniffSpot hostess you can find! Apollo and I LOVE this spot. Check it out for yourselves! She always goes the extra mile to make your visit a good one. Attentive, flexible, welcoming and just loves our fur babies, you won’t have an experience like this one elsewhere (and I’ve been to many Spots!). 🐶 💕 Chrissy B.

FAQ about our Prospect Heights 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.
