55Beautiful, clean, and quiet. Perfect for my dog who is reactive to other dogs. He can run around or just lay down in the grass and relax. I really can’t speak highly enough about how wonderful this backyard is. Highly recommend! Wanda N.

55I think I love Shannon’s place as much as my dogs! There is a feeling of serenity that I feel when I’m there. The dogs have so much fun … either chasing the long thrown balls or sniffing all the different spots in the yard. I truly appreciate having such a phenomenal place to come with my dogs. Every time we leave, we’re all feeling happy and relaxed (the dogs are usually exhausted!). Thank you, Shannon, for sharing your beautiful oasis with us!Linda S.

55We had a great visit! A good amount of space for my dog to run and interesting things to sniff. It was clean and easy to park/enter. Note that you can see the street from the yard so there might be a possibility of people or dogs walking by. We saw some people, did not see any dogs, did hear some dogs.Lindsey P.

55Had a great time again!
The neighbors had some lawn care people during the time of my visit so lots of lawn mowing visible from the spot, which may be distracting for some dogs. However, this was OK for us.
Much appreciate the welcome sign outside to reassure guests they are at the right place, as well as the water bowls, treats, etc. Great spot that I wish I lived a bit closer to!Lindsey P.

55A wonderful welcome sign greeted us upon arrival! The yard had dog toys to play and a shady spot for humans to sit. Our pup had such a great time she hardly knew what to do with herself! Highly recommend Sniffspot for anyone that doesn’t have a yard for their pup to run around in safely. Tracy B.

55Great time! The host has toys, treats, a pool and towel for the dogs, as well as drinks for the humans! Yard was spacious and my three large dogs safely ran with more than enough room. The fence is secure so it was a stress free visit. We will be back!Kylie M.

55We love this Sniff Spot and have rented it many times now. My dogs get so excited when we walk up the drive way - they know they are going to have such a fun time. The yard is very large and fully fenced. It’s not muddy. Our dogs love running around and chasing each other. There is even a bin of dog toys and tennis balls to choose from. We always have such a fun time and the hosts are awesome!

FAQ about our Reading 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Reading 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 306 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 38 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.
