55Secure and clean and quiet. And no mud and did I say clean. No searching through leaves for “prizes.” Nice and roomy for zoomies and fetch and whatever games we want to play. Cynthia H.

55This was one of the best spots we’ve been to in a while. No dogs could be seen or heard from the spot which was great for my reactive dogs. There was a bucket for poop, toys available and a water bowl. Lots of trees and shrubs for the dogs to sniff and open space for them to run. They had a great time! Sarah F.

55This yard was great! The yard was flat so great for zoomies and playing fetch without worrying about injury, and the owner left plenty of toys outside in case you don’t have any. The owner was also great about communicating instructions and what was available, and left a water bowl out for us with instructions to get fresh water. Our pup loved it! 😊Katie R.

55I’m pretty hesitant with a lot of new places I take Otis to, but this Sniffspot was the perfect place to take him to! Every detail and description was just as described. Otis loved all the sunshine the yard had to offer, and especially all the shaded spots he could take some small breaks in too! Neighbors surrounding the yard were also very friendly with myself and Otis! Thanks for giving my boy a new & favorite spot to let loose and be a dog ❤️Alex Z.

55You can tell this sniffspot owner is an animal lover! Frankie had a great time running in this space today. Yard is well kept and flat with ample room for zoomies! Toys, poop scoop and water bowl were provided. You can hear and see some neighbor dogs in yards nearby but the fence is safe and secure with lots of shrubs around the border. Cute nook off of a corner street, easy to find!Samantha L.

FAQ about our Shelby Township 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Shelby Township 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 552 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 31 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.
