55I appreciate that the gate is so close to parking! My dogs loved all of the agility equipment, and the woods and neighborhood surrounding the area gave them something to look at when they needed a break from running. I felt very safe here alone and will definitely be back! Victoria F.

55This is a great spot! In a quiet area and super clean. My dogs had a blast running around and playing! The clean tennis balls is such a great idea. My anxious dog was able to get some good exercise with his sister without the worry of other pups making him nervous. I will definitely be back many times! Thank you!Lauren B.

55My cattle dog is reactive towards other dogs, so having the ability to give him his own private space to run is a godsend! This Sniffspot was so great for him and we’ll definitely be back again ❤️Mariah E.

FAQ about our West Haven 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.
