55We had so much fun at Skolaski Ranch. Brock enjoyed getting to stretch his legs and test out the agility equipment. It was also fun for me to get to play with him safely off leash outside. 😃 Thanks for letting us come play! Alana P.

55This lovely spot on a vista of sorts has a tremendous view of the sunset! Just on the other side of the fence are chickens, who were oblivious to our continual romping about! If your dog loves agility activities, playing with frisbees, balls, etc., this small but clean fenced green space is divine. My Blue’s pupils were dilated like he was drugged the whole time we were there, lol. Honestly, he had so, so much fun! The host was communicative and welcoming (via our messages). We most assuredly will be back soon.Julie C.

55This space was very secluded with only farm animal sounds to hear! Chickens were behind the fence but they hid most of the time from us. Lots of space for sprinting and agility! Definitely will be coming back Emily P.

FAQ about our Durand 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.
