55To no fault of the host, GPS to the location is inaccurate. I, as well as others I heard, was taken to a horse ranch, as well as several dead ends. However, messaging Lisa through the app, she guided me to her place and even met me on the street.
Lisa is wonderfully responsive, warm, and friendly. She introduced me to the area, greeted my pups, and let me know to message her if I needed anything.
The space is huge, with a double in and out gate. No holes in the fence that my dogs could fit through. My Zaley was able to stretch her legs out and really run. Lots of toys, climbing equipment, and (if we wanted) a kiddie pool. Tables and chairs for humans, with some shade given the time we went.
All around an excellent place for a weekend outing for my pups!Alicia C.

55Great adventure, only problem was that my Google maps took us to the wrong place so we only got 30 min total but park itself is great! Just bring your own water, Poo bags and maybe some snacks for the humans.Elizabeth b.

55Lisa's sniff spot was great! My dogs had a great time! Running around, sniffing, playing ball. There was a dog in the area next to us, who my dog was fixated on for a little while. My dogs are not aggressive but play too rough, and I cannot call them back if they get distracted by something. It was great to be able to just let them roam a large area. Will definitely be returning!R M.

55Amazing, amazing, and incredibly amazing!!! We visited Lisa’s today from 12pm to 1pm. Her place was very easy to find with Mapquest. When we drove up, we parked within ten feet from the entrance to the gated dog area. Just like a dog park, it has a two gate system to enter/exit to ensure you and your dog’s safety.
There was a hose to use for water, extra water bowl, and doggy bags.
We bought our own just in case, but we were so pleasantly surprised that she had everything available.
There is an area covered with a tarp for shade from sun and rain. We were very fortunate that it didn’t rain and was just a little bit overcast.
The big park area was HUGE!!! My two little girls didn’t know what to do with themselves. We first walked the fence line with their leashes on and checked for any gaps or holes, and other areas of concern, and there were none. I gave my girls the go ahead and they were unleashed and running crazy! They had so much fun. Within ten minutes, they were huffing and puffing, and we still had over 45 minutes to go.
They fetched, rolled in the grass, ate a lot of the grass, and just got to be dogs.
I can’t say enough about Lisa’s place except that we can’t wait to go back again soon.
Thank you Lisa for having us. Maybe next time we will try some socialization training also.Katherine F.

55Lisa's facility is perfect for the high-drive dog -- tons of space to throw balls (even with a chuck-it) and really give your dog some space to run (on grass!), and a wonderful, shady tree to cool off. We'll be back.Lisa K.

55We had a wonderful visit! It was our first time and I knew Ramona would be more interested in just sniffing around and exploring off leash. We live in an apartment so I think she enjoyed a bit of freedom. She is a bit reactive and skittish but I’m looking forward to Lisa helping us with some socialization in our upcoming visits.
We could hear Lisa’s dogs, but just a couple of times, it was pretty quiet for the most part!
I’d highly recommend visiting Lisa’s wonderful property!Amanda Y.

55My pupster John John & I had the good fortune of visiting Lisa’s Private Dog Park today; let’s be clear - it’s not a just a park… it’s a doggy amusement oasis! The area is a vast, green, clean, securely fenced area with ample toys, enrichment activities, fresh water surrounded by nature. This is not just someone renting out their backyard.
Lisa is both professional & personable - there’s a reason the dogs love her - it’s evident she genuinely loves them. She was kind enough to bring in a few playmates for my John John, one by one, assessing his (& my) comfort level. Lisa read their energy so well - watching her & having her explain dog behaviour was so valuable. An hour flew by - and John John was completely zonked out when we got home- both of our hearts fully satisfied!
Mahalo nui loa for your generosity of space, time, wisdom & heart, Lisa! John John & I can’t wait to visit again! Esther O.

55Lisa was such a great host! She really made sure my dog had a great time at her park. She greeted Seven and I at the entrance of her dog park which has a beautiful view of the mountains. Because I had recently adopted Seven I was cautious about him being around other dogs, which was the reason I chose to go to a private dog park. I read a review that Lisa did some pack socializing with the reviewers dog, so I asked if she would do the same for my dog, which she graciously agreed to. She started with two dogs and within minutes added 8 more. I was so happy to see my dog running and playing with a pack of 10 dogs after previously being fearful of him interacting with other dogs. Not only did Lisa make sure Seven enjoyed his visit, but she also gave me the confidence I needed to know my dog could be around other dogs. Seven and I both enjoyed our time with Lisa. She really cares about the dogs and it shows. We'll definitely be back. Christina S.

55If I could give 10 stars I would! Lisa welcomed my dog Harvey and I into her beautiful dog yard in waimanalo where we had plenty of room to run around and play! She provided tons of different toys to play with and water buckets. Her yard is large and fully fenced in with good shade and areas to sit while your pup plays. She even did some pack socializing with my dog and he had the time of his life. I definitely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a safe and fun place to exercise their dog! I can’t wait to come back! Dan D.

Frequently asked questions about Waimanalo dog park
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. 30% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Waimanalo 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 7 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 26 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.
