55Great spot! Lots of room, shade, and activities to enjoy. Host is kind and provides plenty of water, balls, and agility equipment. Be warned that the neighboring houses have dogs that may be outside and barking, but cannot be seen through the fence. Krystal H.

55Plenty of space for our two dogs to run and play. The dogs were out next door and had one of ours running the fence. Wore her out just as well as chasing balls. Kim M.

55This was our second visit here. Easy to access, big space, lots of toys to play with. The host warned us after we booked that it was quite muddy due to recent rain. That was the only downside, but my dog loves the mud anyway so it worked out! Lisa B.

55Im greatful to be able to bring my dog to run around a clean, spacious and safe area. After weeks of rainy weather he was so ready to play fetch. Ground yard was still a little moist but muddy shoes and paws were worthy seeing how happy my dog was at the end of session.
Thank you Edgar@Sniffspot Silvia P.

55Everything was fantastic! Very clean, and water, toys and poop bags were provided. Everything was exactly as the host said it was going to be. I did have a hard time getting my dog to ignore the dogs next door, there was a handful of very yappy small dogs that would not stop barking at the fence the entire time. Once I got my pup to ignore them, all was great! Will definitely come back for another visit. The yard is a fantastic size for my large dogs to run back and forth full speed. There were also seats for the pup parents to sit and watch :)Sabrina K.

55After a couple of rainy days the yard was muddy in the center area, but perfect to play near the fence. The yard was clean. After playin for an hour I left with muddy shoes and my dog with a wagging tail and a big smile on his face.

FAQ about our Nicolaus dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility 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. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility 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.
