55We had a great visit at Carol’s property! It’s so nice to be able to let your dog run and be a dog without having to worry about other dogs behaviors. The place is very accommodating, with toys, fresh water, lots of shade, chairs, a bbq, and a picnic table! It’s clear that Carol put a lot of love into making such a wonderful spot. The views are wonderful as well! We’ll definitely be back! :)Ashley B.

55This was a wonderful wooded area. Plenty room for the dogs to run off energy and use those noses. It’s a perfect trail, if done twice takes about an hour. We walked slow and enjoyed the peaceful bit of paradise. Dogs slept all day when we got home. Thank you for sharing your fabulous bit of Heaven. SueSue C.

55We visited for the first time and it was our first SniffSpot! It was really easy to find, lots of room for GSPs to spread their legs and fly, and it was securely fenced. Both dogs had a great time finding toys already there and running around. Thank you so much for sharing! We will be back!Kacee B.

55This spot was perfect for my friend’s and my reactive dogs. Tidy, lots to explore and open space too. The closed gate had a little too wide a gap for my svelte Dobie so we put a chair in front of that and it was no problem. The fencing around the perimeter is very secure. We will be back!!Andrea J.

55My dog and I had a blast at this sniffspot! It was the perfect place for us to practice hiking trail manners safely. My dog had plenty of room to run and explore and I would love to come back. Highly recommend! Our host messaged ahead of time with clear instructions on how to get there which was really helpful. One thing to be aware of is that there is a space between the gates that you need to be mindful of if you have an escape artist! Our host flagged it beforehand and made sure to mention to properly close the gate though! Thanks for having us!Najla H.

55Such a fun spot to bring dogs! They loved exploring the tall grass and little trails. There’s a shaded, mostly dirt area that the dogs were able to chase each other and romp in. We had a lot of fun!Sara L.

55We had a great time! The pup's were tired for sure. I was a bit confused as to what area was for sniffing and what was not. Lol. Unsure if the private backyard was part of the experience? Easy access and plenty of sticks!Shelli D.

55Mild up/down hill open space at the end of the property for ball chasing (dog energy drainer!). Fully fenced, easy to access the space. Clean water provided, but our dogs preferred drinking from the standing water mud pit :D of course! A really lovely space fore woodland photos.Christine S.

FAQ about our Clarkston 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. 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Clarkston 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 4 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 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.
