55We had a lot of fun! Our dog loved playing fetch and exploring the bushes and trees. The yard was clean and comfortable. We brought our own toys, and there was also a ball launcher there to use. The fence was secure and the space felt private. Plenty of shade and sun!Meaghan H.

55We had an amazing experience at Heather’s private dog park! Our 2 dogs are very active and had plenty of space to run around. Heather left toys, towels and fresh water for the dogs. She also has multiple sitting areas for us. Our dogs had so much fun and we will definitely be back soon! Alexandra G.

55Heather's spot is excellent. As a first time "spotter" I was so impressed, plan on going back, and plan on referring others to it. It is impeccably clean, and she has all amenities - and then some - clearly available. She has thought of everything. Plus, it is a gorgeous setting and an enjoyable place to spend time! Sandra L.

FAQ About Amherst 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.
