55Although they were training dogs outside in the parking lot while we were there, they stayed far away and the area was secluded. My dog is reactive and he was able to stay calm the entire visit and just enjoyed running around and playing. The area was clean and there were toys left out to play with which was a nice surprise. It was a great spot and we will definitely be returning. Lydia B.

55I wasn’t sure about the spot. Thought maybe a sticker on the fence would help just because I felt like I was trespassing. Louie ran around and had a great time. Close by and we will be back! Thank you 😊 Laura H.

55The space was big and open and clean and our dog had fun running around. He is very reactive to other dogs, though, so he got a little crazy when someone walked his dog across the street - he eventually calmed down and was able to keep playing. The SniffSpot owner left a treat and a toy for our dog, which was super sweet - he loved them both!!Cathy M.

55Jameson had a wonderful romp and really appreciated his toy (playing with it right now), and his treat. We tested all areas before untethering him and determined it was a safe space for Mr. Houdini. We arrived late because our GPS indicated the location was near the Hamburg Fire station. We called our friend Cathy to get better directions. Once suggestion might be on the directions to indicate that the Sniffspot is adjacent to the Blind store, or near the Chinese Restaurant. We are very happy we found it as he had a fantastic time.Kate M.

FAQ about our Gaines 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Gaines 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 190 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 26 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.
