55First time with partially fenced property. I was worried about my dogs running off, but the fence and the privacy were perfect to ease my concerns. My boys had a blast! So my exercise, and things to check out, my new fav!Nadia F.

55With a dog reactive, people shy dog it's hard to find a place where my guy can be a dog without being on constant alert. This place is absolutely perfect. Winter wonderland at it's finest. I'm so glad we found a spot, and that it's close by. Trails are well maintained and the scenery is amazing. Thank you!Liz M.

55I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing it is to walk my foster dog Daisy without any worry of running into another dog. Instead of panting, pacing, and staying on high alert with her ears pinned back, Daisy was able to walk relatively calmly and focus on all the sniffs instead of what trouble may lie ahead. Knowing how high of a prey drive she has, I was curious how she'd handle meeting our new pheasant friends, but she just stood there calmly and watched them. My dog Mozzie had a wonderful time exploring too! All in all, this is a beautiful spot, so peaceful, and we can't wait to come back!
I wish I had a big enough property where Daisy and Mozzie could safely explore like this every day, but until that day comes, we will keep visiting our favorite spots. Thank you again for sharing your space with us. :)Ingrid F.

55We had a great time! I brought my 13 year old pit bull mix and he had such a great time! He has arthritis so I thought he might want to lay down and rest but he was on the go the whole time! The scenery is beautiful and Katie was a great host. We will definitely be back!Julie L.

55This was one of our favorite sniff spots! It felt like an actual hike with some elevation gain. We will definitely be back!!
Tip: After parking by the detached garage, the path will be on the left side. The path then hangs left and goes uphill. Claire A.

55The property is mostly fenced with the only open area being the driveway entrance. I typically stick to fully fenced spots but I decided to give this one a try and I am glad I did! It was beautiful and expansive and I felt safe with my dogs and they had a blast. I chose to leash my dogs when near the driveway entrance just to be safe, but felt totally comfortable with them off leash the rest of the time. The host was very communicative and accommodating! I'll definitely be back! Ellie B.

55We visited for the first time and the trees on the property were just popping fall colors, which makes the place even more beautiful. Our cavaliers loved running around freely. I would say the property is secure despite what Katie said partial fencing. Its so quiet and clean. Humans and 4 legged alike will definitely enjoy the trails. Katie greeted us and gave helpful instruction. Definitely worth our drive. Maybe next time we would love to have playmates at a longer booking. Thanks for sharing your space. Ingrid C.

FAQ about our Saint Clair 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.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 12 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
