55This was our first time using sniffspot and doing this and the yard was clean, and it is a secure and safe place. I have bigger dogs and they loved running around and not having to be on a leash. I would come back and recommend this place. My dogs are my babies and not knowing what to expect it was a great experience. Stacie R.

55The dogs a good time. Nice and private and good fences. My dogs are working dogs that are getting older so being safe and private from other dogs is very important to us. Patricia O.

55Luanne’s space is so cute, and exactly as described. Lots of room to run around, some fun toys provided, as well as a big bowl of water and waste bags. We will definitely be coming back! My pup loved it. There are bird feeders and a bird bath also, which gives your pups (and you) something cute to look at. I would recommend bringing bug spray though :) Ocean H.

55What a great spot for our reactive pup to play and explore (and for our first Sniffspot adventure)! It was well equipped, even for a hot summer’s day (shade canopy, hose, etc). It was quiet and peaceful, with toys and water provided. Fencing was secure all around, and entry/exit was a breeze. We’ll definitely be coming back!Cassie M.

FAQ about our Festus 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Festus 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 114 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 8 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.
