55Had a great time! Very nice spot, just a few things to note if you book here. Their neighbors have Alpacas and if your dog doesn't have good recall I guarantee they will run over as soon as they notice them. Ours perked up on the other side of the pond but luckily for us it wasn't a problem. Second is that they have some MAJOR holes at the edge of the pond that if you don't scope out ahead of time and stay vigilant about looking for you will trip. I'm talking knee deep, so for sure something to keep in mind or someone will get injured. Other than that it's a very nice spot your dog will enjoy! Jesse G.

55The hosts were very friendly and their space was clean. The pond was great and everyone loved it! She warned us about some holes around the pond, but honestly, we barely even noticed. Our 10 year old, 5lb pomeranian fell into one of the holes and was able to just hop out. If he can handle it, anyone else can lol
This was our poodles first time swimming and it was a great place for her to learn.
Our Pomeranian enjoyed his paddle boat ride.
They have two friendly large dogs that played with our poodle for a bit. Her dogs were gentle with our little Pomeranian. Aryanna S.

55So excited to see more Sniffspots opening in the Fort! This cute little property has something for everyone — open areas for running, wooded spots for critter sniffing and shade, and easy access to the jewel of the property, a meandering creek! Sheila is a great host. Very easy to communicate with, even given all of the questions I have for my special dude, who really struggles with the human world. We went on a warm, sunny, late-spring afternoon. I’ve never seen Petey just stand in water before, but it must have felt great, because that’s what he wanted to do! Many thanks to Sheila for opening her property to us and for being so accommodating. Tiffany H.

FAQ about our Fort Wayne dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Fort Wayne?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
